摘要:
Audio data is processed from a packetized data stream carrying digital television information in a succession of fixed length transport packets. Some of the packets contain a presentation time stamp (PTS) indicative of a time for commencing the output of associated audio data. After the audio data stream has been acquired, the detected audio packets are monitored to locate subsequent PTS's for adjusting the timing at which audio data is output, thereby providing proper lip synchronization with associated video. Errors in the audio data are processed in a manner which attempts to maintain synchronization of the audio data stream while masking the errors. In the event that the synchronization condition cannot be maintained, for example in the presence of errors over more than one audio frame, the audio data stream is reacquired while the audio output is concealed. An error condition is signaled to the audio decoder by altering the audio synchronization word associated with the audio frame in which the error has occurred.
摘要:
The apparent accuracy of a clock circuit (20) used to recover timing and transmitted information signals in a data receiver is improved. A timing relationship inherent in a received signal (10) is detected (34, 40) prior to the acquisition of a timing component embedded (16) in a desired information portion of the received signal. The timing relationship has an accuracy that is greater than the accuracy of the clock circuit (20). The clock circuit (20) is controlled in response to the timing relationship to operate with an improved range of accuracy. Thereafter, the embedded timing component is acquired and used to control the clock circuit. In an illustrated embodiment, the timing relationship is derived from a symbol rate (40) of the received signal. In an alternate embodiment, the timing relationship is obtained from a separate transmitted reference signal (34), such as a transmitted television signal.
