Abstract

A method and an apparatus for processing a packetized transport stream that determines whether a sequence of transport packets are received in a proper sequence and whether an error is present in a particular transport packet. The method includes the steps of determining a packet identifier for identifying transport packets associated with a selected program and parsing a packetized transport stream to identify and capture the desired sequence of transport packets in response to the packet identifier. The method further includes the steps of detecting a counter portion, determining whether a desired sequence of transport packets has been received in response to the counter portion, detecting a one bit toggle portion, and determining whether an error exists in the associated transport packet in response to the one bit toggle portion. An apparatus for implementing the method is also disclosed.

Claims (2)

Claims:
1. A method for processing a packetized transport stream, comprising the steps of:

receiving a packetized transport stream comprising a plurality of transport packets;
determining a packet identifier for identifying transport packets associated with a selected program;
parsing the packetized transport stream to identify and capture a desired sequence of transport packets in response to the packet identifier;
detecting, in each of the transport packets, the presence of a counter portion that provides count information indicative of sequential ordering of the associated transport packet, the counter portion comprising a field having a predetermined number of bits, which increments in sequence with each successive transport packet in the sequence of transport packets and wraps around to zero after a maximum value associated with the predetermined number of bits;
determining whether a desired sequence of transport packets has been received in response to the sequence of counter portions associated with the received sequence of transport packets;
detecting, in each of the transport packets, the presence of a one bit toggle portion that provides information indicative of an error in the associated transport packet; and determining whether an error exists in the associated transport packet in response to the one bit toggle portion.
2. Apparatus for processing a packetized transport stream, comprising:

a signal input for receiving a packetized transport stream comprising a plurality of transport packets;
a register for receiving and storing a selected packet identifier in response to a user command to select a particular transport stream;
a comparator for comparing packet identifiers included in the transport packets received in the signal input with the selected packet identifier, and selecting a sequence of transport packets, wherein each transport packet in the selected sequence includes a packet identifier that corresponds to the selected packet identifier;
a detector for examining, in each of the selected transport packets, a counter portion that provides counter information indicative of sequential ordering of the associated transport packet, the counter portion comprising a field having a predetermined number of bits, which increments in sequence with each successive transport packet in the sequence of transport packets and wraps around to zero after a maximum value associated with the predetermined number of bits, and determining whether a desired sequence of transport packets has been received in response to the sequence of counter portions associated with the selected sequence of transport packets, the error detector further examining, in each of the selected transport packets, a one bit toggle portion that provides information indicative of an error in the associated transport packet and determining whether an error exists in the associated transport packet in response to the one bit toggle portion; and a signal processor for processing the selected sequence of transport packets to generate an output signal.
