Hardware implementation of the transport stream demultiplexer for the HDTVT demonstrator

Implementation of the transport stream (TS) demultiplexing for the HDTVT demonstrator will be described. In this hierarchical transmission system, an HDTV program consists of seven elementary streams. In order to minimise interfaces, the task of TS demultiplexing is shared among a central DEMUX unit and the decoder boards. The DEMUX unit regenerates the system clock and evaluates program specific information.
