Program specific information (PSI):
PSI consists of normative data which is necessary for the
demultiplexing of transport streams and the successful regeneration of programs.
Program:
A program is a collection of program elements. Program elements may be elementary streams.
Program elements need not have any defined time base; those that do have a common time base and are
intended for synchronized presentation.

STD input buffer:
A first-in, first-out buffer at the input of a system target decoder for storage of compressed
data from elementary streams before decoding.
