Introduction to MPEG

MPEG Program Stream - PS

A program stream is a combination of elementary streams (such as video and audio) that compose a media program (such as a television program). A program stream is called single program transport stream (SPTS). All the packets in a program stream must share the same time reference system time clock (STC).

The packet size for program streams can have different lengths. For media distribution systems that have a low error rate, longer packets may be used. For media distribution systems that have medium to high error rates (such as radio transmission or Internet systems), shorter packet lengths are typically used.
