Video clock and framing signal extraction

摘要

An apparatus for video clock and framing signal extraction by transport stream snooping parses MPEG-2 Transport Packet headers from a transmission transport stream and partially decodes the headers to identify those corresponding to a specified packet identification (PID). From the specified headers a program clock is decoded and compared with a recovered program clock generated by a local clock oscillator and a local clock counter. The comparison is used to finely tune the recovered program clock frequency. Also from the heads video framing information is decoded, and such framing information and the recovered program clock are used to generate a video reference signal. <IMAGE>
