MPEG Test Systems — MTS4000 Buffer Analyzer Buffer Analyzer When developing professional and consumer equipment, particularly encoders and set-top boxes, the characteristics of the test streams being either generated or used as stimulus need to be ascertained. Of critical importance amongst these characteristics is adherence to the buffer model. That is, when the stream is processed by a receiver, will any of the internal buffers be caused to either under- or overow. Consequences of these conditions will be freeze frames and receiver resets. There are two types of buffer model; the one to use...
