Abstract: Seamless switching between video sources is one of the most challenging operations in both the traditional analog and the newer uncompressed digital formats. With the advent of digital compression technology, such as MPEG-2, the problems associated with seamless switching (referred to as splicing within the standard) are even more complex. It is the purpose of this paper to detail the use of the syntactic elements within MPEG-2 that facilitate splicing, particularly those of the transport stream, and to discuss areas for which standards of practice need to be adopted. An example convention is given that would allow seamless switching of MPEG-2 transport streams.
