Chapter 4 Recorder
Theory of Operation

Theory of Operation
The DTS-G allows you to record MPEG-2 transport streams from an
External Device across ASI (Serial BNC), SPI (Parallel BD25),
SMPTE-310M, QPSK, QAM, Gigabit Ethernet, or Terrestrial interfaces. The recording of data includes the following features:
Synchronization to the incoming transport stream
Capture of all or specific transport-stream packets based on the
PID
Collection of timing information to allow for playback of data at the
captured rate
Acceptance of 188-, 204- or 208-byte packet sizes
Recording of the transport stream in a circular buffer until directed
to save the transport stream to a file
Capturing into DRAM for high-speed captures, or directly to disk
for larger captures.
The DTS-G uses a two-step process to record data. First, it captures
the MPEG-2 transport stream into DRAM from an external source.
Second, it transfers the captured data from the DRAM to the disk (or
other storage device). The external source could be a compressor,
multiplexer, or receiverany device that produces an MPEG-2 transport stream. The DTS-G can also provide a data clock for an external
source, thus mirroring other devices (such as modulators) that may
perform this function. The DTS-G uses a circular buffer in DRAM that
permits the user to continually sample the incoming transport stream
and dictate when the capture period is complete. When the recording
has been terminated, the data is saved to disk and arranged from
oldest to newest.
The DRAM serves as a buffer between the hard drive and the input
source. With the high-speed disk option, the DTS-G can save a transport stream to disk at continuous data rates below 80 Mbps without
running the risk of losing data. This allows for files larger than the
DRAM buffer to be recorded from the input. For continuous rates
above 80 Mbps a High Speed mode is available that limits the
recording size to 128MB. After the capture is complete the data is
transferred to disk.

Chapter 4 Recorder
Recording Process

Actual maximum data rates can be limited when other applications are
running. To avoid problems that may arise from such a situation it is
important that the configuration not be modified with other applications, and all other applications should be closed during this operation.
If the unit is not equipped with a high-speed SCSI disk, capture rates
cannot be guaranteed.

Recording Process
This following text describes how the DTS-G records a transport
stream from its external interfaces. It can accept both packet burst and
constant byte delivery methods on the DVB ASI connection.
The DTS-G can record the transport stream into DRAM or to a disk.
The maximum data rates supported to DRAM are 120 Mbps for DVB
SPI and 214 Mbps for DVB ASI. The maximum data rate supported
directly to disk will depend on the speed of the disk. The DTS-G will
detect if the maximum rate has been exceeded and an error dialog will
be presented to the user.
The DVB SPI has a data-valid signal that can either be used or
ignored. Some parallel interfaces provide this signal and some do not.
When the data valid is used, only the data received while the data valid
is enabled is recorded. For the DVB SPI interface, data valid is
enabled during the transmission of the transport packet, but not during
the transmission of Reed-Solomon (RS) bytes for a 204- or 208-byte
stream that has not yet been RS encoded. The DTS-G must be configured for a 188-byte input if the data valid is enabled and the input is
204 or 208 bytes. This is because, when it is configured to use data
valid, the DTS-G only reads input bytes when the data valid is true.
The net effect is that it only reads 188 bytes for every 204 or 208 bytes
on the interface.
The DTS-G also provides an output clock, which can be used by an
external device as a signal to indicate at which frequency the output
data should be generated. The output of this clock is only available for
the DVB SPI connection.
The DTS-G captures transport streams in two modes, DTS and Raw.
The capabilities of each mode are described as follows.

Chapter 4 Recorder
Recording Process

Synchronization
to Incoming
Transport Stream

In both DTS and Synchronized Raw capture modes, the DTS-G


synchronizes to the transport packets in the incoming transport stream
using the sync bytes in the transport header of each packet. To gain
synchronization, the DTS-G requires that five sync bytes be found at
188-, 204- or 208-byte spacing. It will commence passing data on the
fifth valid sync byte. The DTS-G does not use the packet start signal
on the SPI to indicate when a sync byte is likely to be on the incoming
stream. It examines all incoming data.
The DTS-G loses synchronization when two sync bytes in contiguous
packets are invalid at their expected location in the stream. The DTSG passes all transport packets with invalid sync bytes as long as it
remains in synchronization; in other words, when the DTS-G loses
synchronization, one packet with invalid sync bytes are recorded.
The DTS-G has an Unsynchronized Raw capture mode that you will
probably use only rarely. This mode provides complete capture of all
data bytes on the incoming stream with no synchronization requirements.

18

Packet Filtering

When synchronized to the incoming transport stream, the DTS-G only


records transport packets with PIDs that match those specified by the
user. As discussed in the previous section, packets with synchronization errors are also passed. The DTS-G does not use the transport
error indicator in the transport header in this process. When the transport error indicator bit is set in the packet, the PID is not guaranteed to
be correct, and packets with PIDs not meant to be recorded can now
be recorded; packets that were intended to be recorded may not be
captured.

DTS Mode

In DTS capture mode, the DTS-G collects timing information regarding


the incoming transport stream. There are four bytes of timing information stored with each packet. The DTS-G is always in synchronized
mode for DTS capture. In this mode the DTS-G records the data to a
DTS formatted file, which stores extra information about the stream;
this includes the measured data rate of the incoming stream and
whether or not any synchronization errors occurred during the
recording of the transport stream.

DTS-330 Transport Stream Generator Users Guide

TSG User Guide.book Page 19 Thursday, January 6, 2011 11:27 AM

Chapter 4 Recorder
User Interface: DTS-G Record Window

In this mode, the DTS-G always collects 188-byte packets to the file,
even if the input interface is supplying 204- or 208-byte packets.

Raw Modes

In Synchronized Raw capture mode, the DTS-G records 188- 204- or


208-byte transport stream packets. The packets will be aligned in the
file, with the first byte of the file being the first byte of a transport
packet. The data is stored in a Raw formatted file with no additional
information. The packets in the saved file can have a different size
than the packets used to obtain synchronization. For a DVB SPI
connection using the Data Valid signal, the saved packet size will
always be 188 bytes. The user can also modify the saved packet size
in real time. If the input packet size is 204 or 208 bytes the user can
save the packets in 188 bytes, in order to maximize the capture period.
In an Unsynchronized Raw capture, all data on the input is stored to
the file, and the data may not be aligned by transport packets in the
file. Packet re-sizing is not possible in this mode, since synchronization is not a prerequisite.
In an Unsynchronized Raw capture using the SMPTE-310 interface,
all data on the input is stored to the file. Since SMTPE-310 is transferred serially without byte boundary indicators, the data may not be
aligned on a byte boundary in the file.

Chapter 5 Player
Playback of MPEG-2 Transport Streams

Playback of MPEG-2 Transport Streams


The Player allows you to transmit pre-generated or captured MPEG-2
transport streams across either a SMPTE-310M, a DVB Asynchronous Serial Interface (ASI), or a DVB Synchronous Parallel Interface
(SPI). The Play application performs the following functions:
Plays output using an external clock to set data rate for an SPI
interface
Plays data at any rate from 1 Kbps up to 214 Mbps in 1 Kbps interface intervals
Supports 188-, 204- and 208-byte packets
Continuously loops the output MPEG-2 transport stream
Generates packet start signal for an SPI interface
Inserts dummy Reed-Solomon bytes to translate 188-byte packets
to 204- or 208-byte packets
Plays from DRAM for high data rates.
The Player uses a two-step process to transmit an MPEG-2 transport
stream. First, the Player downloads the data from disk (or other
storage device, such as a tape) to DRAM. Then it plays the MPEG-2
transport stream out to an external device. The external device might
be a modulator, a set-top box (STB), a multiplexer, or any device that
requires an MPEG-2 transport stream as a data feed. The destination
device can provide a clock to set the output data rate from the Player.
The Player uses a circular buffer that permits the user to continually
repeat the output transport stream whether playing from DRAM or
disk.
The DRAM serves as a buffer between the hard drive and the output
destination. With the high-speed disk option, the Player can play a
transport stream from disk at continuous data rates up to 60 Mbps for
DTS-P users, and 80 Mbps for DTS-G users, without running the risk
of missing data. (Note: The DTS-P with the Dual Play option is limited
to 40 Mbps from disk.) This allows for files larger than the DRAM buffer
to be played through the output. For continuous rates above 60 or 80
Mbps, a High Speed mode is available that limits the play size to 64MB
for DTS-P users or 128MB for DTS-G users.

Chapter 5 Player
Play Processing

Actual maximum data rates can be limited if other applications are


running. To avoid problems that may arise from such a situation, the
configuration must not be modified with other applications, and all
other applications should be closed during High-Speed operation.

Play Processing
This section describes how the Player plays a transport stream to its
external interfaces. The Player outputs data at a user-specified rate for
DVB ASI and DVB SPI connections. The data rate for SMPTE-310M
is fixed at 19.39 Mbps. DVB SPI can also accept an external data clock
supplied by an another device.
The Player can play the transport stream from memory or disk. The
maximum data rates supported from memory are 120 Mbps for DVB
SPI and 214 Mbps for DVB ASI. The maximum data rate supported
from disk will depend on the speed of the disk and the fragmentation
of the files on that disk. When the maximum rate has been exceeded,
the Player will present an error message to the user.
The maximum frequency of the external clock is 15 MHz. The Player
does not confirm if the clock exceeds 15 MHz, so the results are unpredictable if the frequency is greater. More detailed requirements on the
electrical characteristics of this clock are supplied in the chapter entitled External Interfaces.
The Player outputs transport streams of two file formats, DTS and
Raw. The capabilities of each mode are described in DTS Mode on
page 57 and Raw Mode on page 58.

DTS Mode

DTS mode is based on files captured by the DTS-G in DTS Record


mode. These files contain timing information and have a known
synchronized set of transport stream packets. This guarantees that the
packets will be synchronized properly so that the insertion of dummy
Reed-Solomon (RS) bytes can be done properly. The packet start
signal on the parallel interface will also be aligned properly with the
sync byte of each packet.

DTS-330 Transport Stream Generator Users Guide

57

TSG User Guide.book Page 58 Thursday, January 6, 2011 11:27 AM

Chapter 5 Player
User Interface: Play Window

In this mode, the Player can re-size the packets in real-time and output
packets of either 188, 204 or 208 bytes. To up-convert to a 204- or 208byte packet, 16 to 20 dummy RS bytes are inserted at the end of the
packet. The value for each dummy RS byte is 0.

Raw Mode

The Raw mode uses transport streams without additional header information as a source. The packet size of raw transport streams can be
changed on the fly as follows:
A file with 188-byte packets can be output with 188- 204- or 208byte packets.
Transport streams with 204-byte packets can be played with either
188- or 204-byte packets
A file with 208-byte packets can be played with either 188- or 208byte packets.
The user enters the original packet size and the output packet size
along with the output rate. When up-converting a 188-byte packet to a
204-byte or 208-byte packet, the Player inserts 16 to 20 dummy RS
bytes at the end of the packet. The value for each dummy RS byte is
0. The packet start signal on the SPI assumes that the first byte in the
file is the first byte of a transport stream packet. The Player does not
verify that the raw file is a valid transport stream. Therefore, the packet
start will only be aligned with the sync byte if the file contains aligned
data for 188, 204 or 208 bytes.

When you click on the Play icon in the Application Launch Pad, the
Play Window appears. This window allows you to set the parameters

Chapter 6 Converter
Theory of Operation

Theory of Operation
The Converter allows you to play files from or to another manufacturers product. It supports two types of file formats, DTS and Raw, as
described in the following text.

DTS Mode

This binary data file contains a special DTS header followed by the
transport stream packets. For each transport stream packet, there are
four bytes of timing information stored in the header. The header also
contains information on the data rate of the transport stream as well as
information regarding synchronization loss. The data rate may not be
valid if synchronization has been lost in the file.

Raw Mode

This binary data file contains the transport stream packets. If the file
was collected in a synchronized fashion by the DTS-G, the transport
stream will contain 188-, 204-, or 208-byte transport stream packets,
with the first byte of the file being the first byte of a transport packet.
This file can also be generated or collected by a device other than the
DTS-G and used for playback. The Converter assumes that the first
byte of the file is the first byte of a transport packet. Therefore, if the
specified output packet size is 204, then the sync bytes are spaced at
204 bytes.

Conversion
Process

The Converter can convert a DTS file into a Raw format or a Raw file
into a DTS format. This allows you to play or capture files on another
manufacturers product.
In a DTS-to-Raw file conversion, the file header and packet headers
are stripped, so that the resultant file looks as though it has been
captured using the Synchronized Raw settings. Since synchronization
is a requirement of capture, a loss of synchronization during the
capture may have caused gaps in the data. Partial conversion is not
supported. If the conversion is aborted before it has been completed,
no file is created.
In a Raw-to-DTS format conversion, the Converter sees the Raw file
as if it were the input to a DTS-R. It uses the data rate entered by the
user to construct the timing information in the packet headers. Each

DTS-330 Transport Stream Generator Users Guide

Chapter 6 Converter
User Interface: Convert Window

packet is examined for synchronization based on the user-entered


packet size. If synchronization is lost, the program will make a note of
it in the packet header and then try to reacquire synchronization. A loss
of synchronization will leave a gap in the converted file, resulting in a
non-continuous transport stream. Partial conversion is not supported.
If the conversion is aborted before it has been completed no file is
created.

User Interface: Convert Window


The Converter allows you to change the format of a file from Raw to
DTS and vice versa. With this application, you can also quickly
examine a file to determine its size in bytes, the rate at which it was
captured, the packet size, and the continuous capture status. The
fields available in the Convert Window are described in Figure 69 on

Theory of Operation

Theory of Operation
The Packet Editor utility allows you to view and modify the contents of
a transport stream on a packet-by-packet basis. It parses the transport
stream header (including the adaptation field) and displays all data in
the packet in a hexadecimal, decimal, or binary format. The Packet
Editor can parse and display data from DTS and Raw files. It supports
Raw files made up of 188-, 204- or 208-byte packets, as specified by
the user. An automatic mode that detects the packet size is also available.
The Packet Editor window displays all bytes of a particular packet in
the right pane. For DTS files, the time stamp data found in the file is
displayed in the left pane.
For Raw files, the Packet Editor synchronizes to the sync bytes in the
transport stream. It requires 4 sync bytes spaced either 188, 204 or
208 bytes apart to gain synchronization. Once it synchronizes, the
Packet Editor assumes that the remainder of the data in the file is
synchronized. The Packet Editor presents an error message if it is
unable to synchronize to the data in the file.
The Packet Editor also allows you to change values in the data stream
and save these changes to the file.

Chapter 8 External Interfaces


Interface Description

Interface Description
The DTS-G includes DVB ASI, DVB SPI, SMPTE-310M, and external
clock input and output interfaces. These interfaces are described in
the following text.

ASI

The DTS-G provides a fully compliant DVB ASI interface for both input
and output. This interface is defined in DVB Document A010 (Table 1
on page xiii). Both the ASI input and ASI output are transformer
coupled. The recommended cabling type for this connection is RG59/
U.
The ASI interface also supports M2S for input.

96

SPI

The DTS-G provides a Synchronous Parallel Interface for input and


output that has 8 data bits, clock, data valid, and packet sync. This
interface is described in DVB Document A010 with the external clock
differences described in the following text.

SPI Input

The DTS-G requires the 8 data bits and the data valid signal to be valid
on the rising edge of the data clock, as shown in Figure 102. This
figure lists the timing requirements for these signals. The DTS-G reads
the data only when data valid is true. For the interface defined in DVB
Document A010, the data valid is true for each clock during the transmission of the 188 bytes of a packet and is not true during the transmission of RS dummy bytes which are only transmitted in 204- and
208-byte packet mode. The DTS-G can also ignore the data-valid
signal and read data on each clock received. This supports parallel
interfaces without the data-valid signal. The DTS-G does not use the
packet sync signal on the input interface, but it uses the sync byte in
the incoming transport stream to synchronize to the data.

The DTS-G can also transmit a clock on the input interface that can be
used by an external device as a means to drive the data rate. This
output clock can be enabled or disabled from the user interface. The
output has these characteristics:
Resolution to 1 Hz,
Less than 10 ppm accuracy and 2.5 ppm per year drift for base 27
MHz clock
The pin definition for the input SPI is listed in the Table 8 with all
signals being inputs. The input impedance on each of these inputs is
100 .

On the output, the DTS-G supplies 8 data bits, data valid, and packet
sync signals; these are valid on the rising edge of the data clock, as
shown in Figure 102 on page 97. Table 9 on page 99 lists the timing
requirements for these signals. The data valid is true for all clock
cycles except when transmitting RS dummy bytes, therefore the DTSG is transmitting data for each clock. The DTS-G transmits the packet
sync signal every 188 204, or 208 bytes (depending on configured
packet size) starting with the first output byte. The DTS-G does not
validate that the byte of data transmitted when the packet sync is
enabled is an MPEG-2 sync byte of 0x47. The DTS-G assumes that
the sync bytes supplied in the Raw and DTS files are aligned and
spaced according to the packet size specified so that it can supply the
packet sync during the transmission of the sync byte.
