Instruction Manual
68
• PES header contain information about the contents of the PES packet.
• Variable length packets typically up to 64 Kbyte but may be longer
• PTS and DTS allow a decoder to reconstruct the video from I, Band P frames sent by
encoder.
• If header information is corrupted, entire PES packet will be lost.
• Fixed Length packets, multiplexes many PES packets.
• Program Identifier (PID) contains information to find, identify and reconstruct
program contents
• Continuity Counter (CC) – 4 bit counter to detect loss or out of sequence packets
• Program Clock Reference (PCR) – clock reference to time sync the video and audio
• Sync byte set the start of a TS packet and allows synchronization
• Transport Error Indicator indicates a TS packet error
