- Abstract
- MPEG-2 transport streams are being applied throughout the world to deliver compressed audio and video, in addition to data and control signals. An understanding of the timing and synchronization of compressed television is important to system design and operations, just as it is with today's full-bandwidth signals. This paper describes the formation of the transport stream with its timing elements and their use at the receiver. It also briefly describes test equipment that has been developed to stress the receiver reference clock phase-locked-loop and to analyze transport stream data to determine the values and correctness of the various time stamps.

bio
David K. Fibush has been involved in various aspects of television engineering for more than 30 years. He was a major contributor to the standardization of the SMPTE Type-C format and development of television recorders for various tape formats. For five years at Tektronix, he was in charge of development and marketing of test signal generators and video frame synchronizers. He is currently directing new developments in the area of MPEG-2 transport stream testing and video quality testing for compressed television systems. Fibush is a Fellow of the SMPTE and presently serves as Chairman of the Committee on Packetized Television Technology. He has written numerous technical articles on a range of television technology topics and received several SMPTE Journal Awards, presented each year for the most outstanding paper originally published in the Journal . In 1995 he received the premier medal award of the Society, the SMPTE Progress Medal, which recognizes outstanding technical contributions to the progress of engineering phases of the motion-picture and/or television industries. Fibush graduated from the University of California at Berkeley with a BSEE in 1962 and an MSEE in 1965. - Copyright
