One Solution of DVB Software Demultiplexer Adaptation for Timestamped Transport Stream

Abstract

In the digital television industry today, three broadcast standards are dominant worldwide, Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB), Integrated Service Digital Broadcasting (ISDB), Advanced Television System Committee (ATSC). All of these broadcast standards use Moving Pictures Experts Group - Transport Stream (MPEG-TS) digital container format for transmission through the network. Many broadcasters change the configuration on the head-end to support different applications. Some of them add a timestamp to the beginning of the transport stream and create a new digital container format called Timestamped Transport Stream (TTS). This paper presents one solution of DVB software demultiplexer module adaptation to support TTS.
