MPEG Software Tools MPEG Video Test Solutions › MPEG Software Tools

Sophisticated MPEG Software tools for Generation, Editing, and Analysis of Transport, Program and Elementary Streams (MPEG-2, MPEG-4, AVC / H.264, and HEVC / H.265)

Tektronix MPEG Software Tools allow you to delve into transport and elementary streams to track down the sources of picture anomalies or Transport Streams with errored syntax. The ability to capture events for deep analysis is critical to identifying the root cause of problems, and our QoE software analysis tools shorten the time to finding the root cause by identifying impairments and artifacts that can be traced directly to network issues.

Features	Benefits
Tools operate on file based or IP streams	Transport Stream analysis includes both deferred-time (TSCA) and real-time (TSCR) capabilities to analyze streams received via your PC’s Ethernet interface (IP)
Buffer Analysis, Multiplexing and ES Compliance Checking	Facilitate the transition to Next Generation video compression technology with a complete suite of tools for creation and analysis of transport streams.
Compliance verification with the encoding standard	Confirm the stream will be correctly decoded by all compliant receivers in the market place
Synchronized video, audio and data views	Instant cross referencing reduces time to insight and increases efficiency
Reliable and accurate video artifact measurement by performing a full decode on the video stream.	Allows operators to determine if the source of a problem is in the content source (for example over-compression) or in network distribution.
Analysis of decoded MPEG-2, AC-3, MPEG-2 AAC and MPEG-4 AAC Audio Loudness in accordance with ITU-R BS.1770/1771 and ATSC A/85.	Allows operators in all regions to analyze loudness related problems to the ITU audio standards.
