ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for reducing program clock reference (PCR) jitter in transport packets of a transport stream compliant with MPEG-2 or another suitable audio-video encoding standard. The PCRs from a given single program transport stream (SPTS) of a multi-program transport stream are processed in a phase-locked loop (PLL) to generate dejittered PCRs for that SPTS. The PLL for a given SPTS receives as inputs the PCRs from that SPTS and a cycle count for each PCR indicative of the number of asynchronous clock cycles counted since the previous PCR. The PLL generates a given dejittered PCR as a function of the previous dejittered PCR, the cycle count for the given PCR, and a clock frequency mismatch estimate for the given program clock. The clock frequency mismatch estimate is generated by filtering a sequence of jitter estimates, each corresponding to the difference between a previous PCR and its corresponding dejittered PCR. The SPTS transport packets may then be restamped with the dejittered PCRs from the PLL to provide a dejittered multi-program transport stream.
