Theory of OperationThe 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 inter-faces. 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 trans-port 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 trans-port 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 RecorderRecording Process

DTS-330 T

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 applica-tions, and all other applications should be closed during this operation.

Recordin


If the unit is not equipped with a high-speed SCSI disk, capture rates cannot be guaranteed.

g ProcessThis 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 config-ured 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 RecorderRecording Process

18

Synchronizationto 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

Packet

D


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 DTS-G 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 require-ments.

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 synchroniza-tion errors are also passed. The DTS-G does not use the transport error indicator in the transport header in this process. When the trans-port 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.

TS Mode In DTS capture mode, the DTS-G collects timing information regarding the incoming transport stream. There are four bytes of timing informa-tion 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.

Chapter 4 RecorderUser Interface: DTS-G Record Window

DTS-330 T

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.

Ra

User Inte


w 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 synchroniza-tion 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 trans-ferred serially without byte boundary indicators, the data may not be aligned on a byte boundary in the file.
