1-2 Introduction
1.2 Operating Environment
The modulator is intended to follow either an MPEG transport stream
source (for example, a transport multiplexer) or a satellite receiver, such
as the LSI Logic L64724 (see Figure 1.1). It processes MPEG-2 system-
compliant frames at the input.
You can program the sync word and block length, and the chip can
reinsert the sync information. The device handles the MPEG-specific
transport-packet error indication (TEI) bit internally.
