Figure 3-16: Stream view - PCR graph - PCR arrival
The PCR Arrival graph provides a display of the time interval between successive
PCRs, during the last 256 PCRs. The interval is displayed on the y-axis. Points are
color-coded with respect to the Maximum Repetition Period set in DVB test 2.3
(The DVB default value is 40 ms). Points are plotted in blue when they fall within
the specified period. Any points that exceed the interval are plotted in red. If the
interval exceeds the limits displayed on the screen, the scale is adjusted
automatically as necessary to include the maximum displayed values.
The PCR Maximum Repetition Interval can be adjusted for individual PIDs as
follows:
PIDs screen Î Test: select PCR Repetition Î individual PID parameter
(right-click) Î PCR max repetition interval.
Right-click on the graph and set the limit for each PID.
PCR Overall Jitter (PCR_OJ)
The PCR Overall Jitter graph shows the difference between the actual value of the
PCR (expressed as a time) and its expected value based on its measured arrival
time.
