ID3 Tag Validator Application User Manual

Nielsen Confidential 

Test 25 Result: PES Owner-ID Check 

Format

Meaning 

When Validator finds the string “www.nielsen.com” near the beginning of a PES packet, it 
logs the event. The purpose of this test is to ascertain that the ID3 tag metadata 
elementary stream is, indeed, a 

Nielsen

 ID3 tag stream. Validator must only find one 

Nielsen URL to confirm this fact. 

Because this is an “event” check and not an error check, Validator does not log a 
message when it detects a Nielsen owner ID. 

Example 

The example below shows that Validator found 319 Nielsen owner IDs. In most cases, 
the total number is equal to the sum of INFO tags and DATA tags. The test passed 
because only one owner-ID is required to declare this a Nielsen ID3 tag.  

MPEG-2: Nielsen Owner ID Test:     Pass <319/1/0>

Maximum Tolerated 

Maximum number of errors tolerated before failure is declared 

 

Meaning 

For ID3 DATA tag packets to be properly multiplexed into a transport stream, each PES 
header of the metadata stream must contain a PTS (Presentation Timestamp). Each time 
the PTS is missing from a Nielsen metadata header, Validator reports an error.
