Comprehensive Selection of Displays
The Analyzer provides a variety of displays from which to
view and interpret transport stream contents and statistics.
Each view offers a unique perspective of transport stream
data, allowing users to tailor the analysis process to their
specific application.
Summary Analysis
The summary view provides an overview of transport stream
content and statistics, allowing users to quickly identify overall
bitrate, bandwidth usage per stream type, and events as they
occur on the transport stream.
PID Analysis
The PID information view shows the content and character-
istics of all PIDs in the transport stream. For each PID, it
provides the program name and stream type, bandwidth
usage, bitrate (Mbps), PCR/PTS/DTS values, and jitter
statistics.
PID Watch Analysis
The PID watch view allows users to closely track rate statistics
on a group of user-selected PIDs. Users can set rate windows
for these PIDs and generate alarms when the rate of a PID
falls outside the specified window. For statistical multiplexing,
users can track the instantaneous or historic rate statistics
for specific PIDs.
Program/Channel Analysis
The program/channel view provides detailed program
information extracted from MPEG-2 DVB and ATSC tables.
It enables users to troubleshoot problems on a program or
channel by:
• Verifying program/channel contents and statistics
• Viewing all events related to a particular program or
channel
• Using colored status indicators to quickly identify errors
• Accessing current and historical rate statistics for a
program
