Appication Note Thomas Lechner 1.2017 0e Muti-TS Streaming Software Appication Note Products: R&S CLG R&S CLGD R&S SLG The R&S TSStream muti-ts streaming software streams a number of MPEG transport stream fies simutaneousy over a singe IP interface. The individua transport streams resut in a high overa bit rate. To make the streams avaiabe on a standard PC, the R&S TSStream software does not pay the transport stream fies directy from the hard disk but first oads them into the RAM. The maximum number and ength of the transport streams depends soey on the PC's avaiabe RAM. This software has previousy been sod as product R&S TSStream and is now freey avaiabe as appication note. Note: Pease find the most up-to-date document on our homepage www.rohde-schwarz.com. This document is compemented by software. The software may be updated even if the version of the document remains unchanged.

1 Description 1.1 Overview The R&S TSStream muti-ts streaming software streams a number of MPEG transport stream fies simutaneousy over a singe IP interface. The individua transport streams resut in a high overa bit rate. To make the streams avaiabe on a standard PC, the R&S TSStream software does not pay the transport stream fies directy from the hard disk but first oads them into the RAM. The maximum number and ength of the transport streams depends soey on the PC's avaiabe RAM. For uninterrupted operation, TV receivers require a continuous signa. This is why R&S TSStream pays out a transport stream fies at the MPEG eve in a seamess oop. The PCR, PTS, DTS and continuity counter parameters are continuousy restamped. When a transport stream fie contains a seamess eementary stream, the receiver even deivers an interruption-free video and audio signa. R&S TSStream is especiay suitabe for feeding data into the R&S CLG cabe oad generator and R&S SLG sateite oad generator. This makes it possibe to reproduciby simuate rea-word cabe TV network configurations and sateite transponder assignments in the ab. R&S TSStream can aso be used as a signa source to test IPTV equipment. R&S TSStream features an intuitive graphica user interface. Status, memory occupancy and processor oad are continuousy dispayed. Drag & drop operation makes it easier to work with a arge number of transport streams. A specia feature is the import function for configuration fies from the R&S CLG and R&S SLG, which quicky and easiy adopts these instruments' settings in R&S TSStream. 1.2 Key facts Tota streaming bit rate 5 Gbit/s More than 128 transport streams simutaneousy A MPEG transport stream formats 1.3 Benefits and key features 1.3.1 Streaming of mutipe MPEG transport streams over IP Feeding of data into the R&S CLG and the R&S SLG Simuation of rea-word network configurations in the ab Testing and stress testing of IPTV equipment 0e Rohde & Schwarz Muti-TS Streaming Software 3
