Design of Multi-Program Stream Generator Used in Set-Top Box Manufacturing Test

An introduction to the principles behind set-top box manufacturing test. This paper describes why test source format and performance and quality are important for testing set-top box quickly and economically in manufacturing. It gives an overview of the basic architecture of a manufacturing test system, defines the dynamic multiplex algorithm of variable bit-rate TS stream associated with multi-program stream generator and provides a practical test facility for high volume manufacturing.
