Multiplexer - Getting Started
The Tektronix Multiplexer provides off-line multiplexing of ATSC, MPEG-2,
DVB, and ISDB transport streams.
Transport streams (TS), Elementary Streams (ES), Packetized Elementary Streams
(PES), and Packet Identifiers (PID) can be selected, manipulated and recombined
to form customized, synthesized transport streams. Program Specific Information
(PSI), Service Information (SI), and Program and System Information Protocol
(PSIP) are often referred to as simply SI in this section.
MTS400 Series Generators User Manual 1

Multiplexer - Getting Started
The functions provided include:
Wizards for common tasks, such as populating streams with Program Specific
Information/Service Information/Program and System Information Protocol
(PSI/SI/PSIP), and programs.
Table contents that are displayed in and edited from structure diagrams (tree
diagrams).
Transport Streams that either conform strictly to the standards selected for
interpretation or have precisely engineered, known, nonconformances.
Two or more instances of Multiplexer can run concurrently. This allows table
information to be copied from one file to another.
The source data for nonconformant streams can be saved in a raw format,
which can be quickly reloaded as the basis for generating more stream data.
Conformance of edits to the standards is checked interactively and enforced
by default. Checking and enforcement may be turned off when specifying
nonconformances to be introduced into the new transport stream.
On opening, streams are analyzed and displayed according to the selected
standard: MPEG, DVB, ATSC, or ISDB. Scripts are used by the analysis process;
this allows private PSI/SI tables and descriptors to be defined.
NOTE. Most examples given in this section of the manual are based on DVB SI.
You should remember that the Multiplexer is equally at home with all major DTV
standards, MPEG-2, DVB, ATSC, and ISDB as well as the major extensions to
those standards.
The Transport Stream Analyzer program should always be used for reliable
analysis of transport streams containing DSM-CC or MPE addressable sections.
In the absence of TS Analyzer, it is acceptable to use Multiplexer for analysis,
provided that the DSM-CC or MPE scripts are first applied using Expert mode in
the Stream Interpretation dialog box (See page 7, Scripts.).
However, when multiplexing streams containing DSM-CC or MPE addressable
sections, the related scripts must not be active.
Multiplexer in Playout
Mode
You can initiate a playout in the Muliplexer application using the playout feature
as soon as the multiplex operation is complete. Multiplexer creates a temporary
transport stream in the location specified by the Playout Settings and then initiates
a playout by loading this file into the player. To play the stream in the loop mode,
enable the loop mode in the Playout settings.
To open Playout Settings dialog box, select Multiplex >Playout settings.
