Some Aspects of Testing Process for Transport Streams in Digital Video Broadcasting

TL;DR

This paper analyzes the DVB-T standard's transport stream transmission and testing methods, using two analysis programs to evaluate the process and identify key aspects of digital video broadcasting.

Contribution

It provides an overview of DVB standards with a focus on DVB-T, and evaluates transport stream testing using specific analysis tools, which is a novel application in this context.

Findings

DVB-T transmission processes are characterized and analyzed.

Testing methods for DVB transport streams are discussed and evaluated.

Results from Mosalina and TSA programs demonstrate their effectiveness in DVB analysis.

Abstract

This paper presents some aspects related to the DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) investigation. The basic aspects of DVB are presented, with an emphasis on DVB-T version of standard. The main purpose of this research is to analyze the way that the transmission of the transport streams is realized in case of the Terrestrial Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB-T). To accomplish this, first, Digital Video Broadcasting standard is presented, and then the main aspects of DVB testing and analysis of the transport streams are investigated. The paper presents also the results obtained using two programs designed for DVB analysis: Mosalina and TSA.
