DTS-M: The DTS-330 Multiplexer Configuration

DTS-M: The DTS-330 Multiplexer Configuration

The DTS-330 Multiplexer performs continuous, real-time test stream creation, eliminating the storage-intensive and time-consuming procedure required by all other stream creation devices.

Highlights

  • Easy storage and distribution of test streams.
  • Supports data rates from 1 kbps to 214 Mbps.
  • Performs weeks of continuous and varied transport stream output using a small amount of disk space.
  • Offers unlimited flexibility and control to manipulate test streams.
  • Offers beginner and expert operational levels.

Applications

  • Rigorously test encoders, remultiplexers, set-top boxes, and DTVs with transport streams that stretch the unit to specification limits.
  • Create complex transport streams with time-varying content and Electronic Program Guide information.
  • Create random or recurring errors in the test stream.
  • Easily reuse, store, and distribute a library of test scenarios.
  • Broadcasters can create known, good transport streams for trial deployments.

Key Features

  • Create multiplexes containing an unlimited number of PIDs, programs/channels, events, PCRs, and elementary streams.
  • Create multiplexes containing PCR jitter, offset, and drift.
  • Create multiplexes containing PSI/SI/PSIP, private tables, and descriptors with user-defined content and rates.
  • Create multiplexes containing private data, including DSM-CC, teletext, subtitling, MPE/IP, and DVB data carousels.
  • Create multiplexes containing unlimited errors, including synchronization, continuity counter, and transport errors.
