TS Multiplexer

General Description

The MW_TS_MUX core is designed to multiplexer different transport stream and produce a single TS stream output. It is composed by MW_MUX_IN core that operate in conjunction with the MW_MUX_OUT core. The first core handles a single MUX input port and performs the pre-processing operations necessary for the MW_MUX_OUT core to correctly generate an output TS stream. Mux_in builds the database of the contents available in the TS, filters incoming programs, dropping unwanted PIDs, forwards the selected PIDs either to a bandwidth estimator, and performs the first stage of a PCR re-stamping process. Mux_out merges all incoming data streams, inject informational packets, enforces the TS output flow bit rate, injects Null locally generated, and performs the second stage of a PCR re-stamping process. The behaviour must be configured using an embedded MicroBlaze processor. Between the processor and the core an AXI interface is available, but also a PLB interface to be compliant with older design.

Features

  • DVB streams selection and routing
  • It allows standard PSI parsing procedures to be implemented in the embedded processor
  • 7 independent TS input ports and 1 PSI port to build custom output TS
  • Priority level management
  • Both AXI and PLB interface implemented
  • 512 out of the 8192 possible incoming PIDs can be selected and internally reallocated
  • Bandwidth estimation and PCR Adjusting to avoid video issues at the receiver side
  • In conjunction with MW_MUX_OUT whatever routing topology can be achieved (e.g. multiple modulators feeding)
  • Inexpensive implementation with reduced FPGA resources.
