    摘要: A method and apparatus for analyzing and monitoring packet streams in “real time”. The packet analyzer comprises an input buffer, a real-time analysis unit, a non-real-time analysis unit, a graphics unit, a monitor and a flushing circuit. A packet stream is received into the input buffer where the data is either read by the real-time analysis unit or flushed by the flushing circuit. Messages are passed between the real-time analysis unit and the non-real-time analysis unit to report on detected errors or to update packet stream information. In turn, real time packet stream information are displayed and updated on a display via the graphic unit. A method of detecting framing errors in a packet stream is incorporated by setting a 9th bit in the input buffer for each byte of data in a packet.

    摘要: An apparatus and concomitant method for creating and applying an encoded bitstream to evaluate the performance of a black box video decoder. The encoded bitstreams are designed such that the results from the DUT can be evaluated without the need of a human observer. The method applies the encoded bitstream to both a DUT and a compliant reference decoder and compares the results from both decoders to determine compliance of the DUT. Additional embodiments address postprocessing and the selection of a subset of test frames for evaluation.

    摘要: Compressed bitstreams are characterized by generated graphical displays that display useful information related, for example, to the quality of the data contained in the bitstream. One set of graphical displays indicates lead time between receipt of packetized data and the corresponding decode or presentation time-stamp. Another set of bar graphical displays provides information related to bits per picture by (A) indicating fractions of useful bits versus zero-stuffing bits per picture, (B) distinguishing field pictures from frame pictures, and (C) plotting bars as a function of presentation or decode time rather than picture number to indicate the presence of 3:2 pulldown frame structure in the bitstream. Yet another set of graphical displays corresponds to coefficient/quantization (C/Q) diagrams that plot combinations of quantization level and number of non-zero quantized coefficients for sets of picture blocks.

    摘要: A system and method of evaluating a decoder under test can include the steps of storing a first segment of a video sequence for creating a first test frame portion including a first image, storing a second segment of video sequence for creating a second test frame portion including a second image, combining the first and second test frame portions into a visualization segment, streaming the visualization segment to the decoder, displaying the resultant output stream from the decoder under test, and determining if a defect exists in the displayed decoded output stream. Determining if a defect exists can include: if the display of the displayed visualization segment shows a steady picture, then determining there is a defect in the decoded picture, and if the display of the visualization segment shows flickering or flashing detail, then determining that there is a defect in the decoded picture.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for adjusting the parameters of a PLL in a communication system. The method measures the rate of transmission of clock reference information by measuring the time of arrival of successive clock references or the difference of the clock reference values. The method applies the measured transmission rate to a plurality of predefined transmission rate ranges to acquire the proper gain factor values. These gain factor values are used to control the responsiveness of the PLL to new clock reference information.
