MTD200 MPEG Test Decoder User Manual
Channel coding and transmission:
The transmission of compressed, almost
redundancy-free data streams, requires a high transmission quality or a bit error
rate approaching zero to ensure decoding. That is why a channel coding is
performed before the digital modulation methods QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift
Keying for satellite transmission) and QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
for transmission via cable). A certain number of bit errors can then be corrected
at the end of the transmission link. The methods for channel coding and
transmission are defined by the European DVB project.
MPEG stands for Moving Pictures Experts Group. This standard committee
works on the coding of moving pictures and the associated sound. MPEG-2
(ISO/IEC 13818) defines a corresponding standard documentation describing the
compression of vision and sound data. Moreover, there is MPEG-1, which
describes the recording of video on CD, or MPEG-4 for the transmission of
pictures by means of very narrow band transmission channels. MPEG-3, which
was to define the distribution of high-resolution TV pictures, has finally become
a part of MPEG-2.
MPEG-2, which is subdivided into many sections, is exclusively relevant for this
manual. The following MPEG-2 sections are applicable to the MPEG test
generator and MPEG test decoder:
Part 1 / Systems
ISO/IEC 13818–1
Multiplexing of several compressed vision and sound data
streams as well as of additional data streams to a transport
multiplex
Part 2 / Video
ISO/IEC 13818–2
Compression of vision data
Part 3 / Audio
ISO/IEC 13818–3
Compression of sound data
Part 4 / Conformance
ISO/IEC 13818–4
Test procedure for compressed streams (encoder) and decoder
Part 9 / Real-Time Interface
Specification for Low Jitter
Applications
Elucidation regarding system-clock jitter during the distribution
of transport streams
The interface for the MPEG test generator and the MPEG test decoder is the
Transport Stream (TS). The composition and structure of this multiplex stream is
described in MPEG-2 Systems on page 1–5.
