MPEG-2 / MPEG-4 / H.264

Extensions to the MPEG-2 standard to incorporate H.264 as an additional Elementary Stream (ES) type within an MPEG-2 Transport Stream (TS), have made H.264 accessible and attractive to broadcasters and network operators. The transition presents a challenge for equipment manufacturers developing H.264 variants because although H.264 offers twice the compression efficiency of MPEG-2, twice the processing complexity is required. Tektronix is able to support an end-to-end H.264 solution, encompassing the 3 main phases, Design, Deploy and Manage.

MPEG-2 Transport Stream technology continues to thrive in a variety of applications including next generation compression H.264 or MPEG-4 encoders. Design verification and debug/analysis may involve MPEG-2 TS testing as well as the evaluation of the elementary stream data.

Application Notes

  • A Guide to MPEG Fundamentals and Protocol Analysis (Including DVB and ATSC)

    MPEG is one of the most popular audio/video compression techniques because it is not just a single standard. Instead it is a range of standards suitable for different applications but based on similar principles.

  • Transition to H.264 Video

    Descriptions of application centric tools from Tektronix to aid in the transition to H.264 compression technology

  • Solving Intermittent Transport Stream Problems with CaptureVu™

    One of the MTS400's key tools is CaptureVu™ technology, an innovative triggering and stream capture system that allows you to find those difficult intermittent and complex problems that traditional analyzers miss during debug.

  • Troubleshooting and Analyzing Digital Video Signals with CaptureVu

    By setting specific and sophisticated trigger conditions for CaptureVu you allow the analyzer to find intermittent problems for you, trigger a recording to memory, or pause analysis to allow you to drill down to the route cause of an issue quickly and efficiently.

  • Picture Quality Measurement

    Objective versus Subjective picture quality measurements are vital to efficient and repeatable video processing design and evaluation.

  • Video Compression Challenges

    There is rapidly increasing demand for more channels, mobile video, higher quality video, high definition video; however, the rate of growth of these - and consumer expectation - is outstripping the rate of growth of capacity of the digital communications media.
