Stream Parameters
The Stream Param tab allows you to view the detected video Stream 
Rates and the PASS/FAIL status of the multicast IP address assigned to the 
specific video channel or Analyzed Stream.
The available test results are the 
following:
³
IP Packet is the IP data rate for the 
IPTV service, for the selected 
channel.
³
Transport Rate is the bit rate 
calculated based on the program 
clock reference (PCR).
³
Null Packet Rate is the rate calculated for MPEG2-TS null packets. Null 
packets are defined as having no data.
³
MDI is the media delivery index (MDI) or IP cumulative jitter and 
packet loss rate for the video stream.
³
DF(Ave) is the average delay factor (DF) or the average amount of time 
the video must be delayed in the virtual buffer due to cumulative IP 
packet jitter and IP packetization.
³
DF(Min) is the minimum delay factor (DF) or the minimum amount of 
time the video must be delayed in the virtual buffer due to cumulative 
IP packet jitter and IP packetization.
³
DF(Max) is the maximum delay factor (DF) or the maximum amount 
of time the video must be delayed in the virtual buffer due to 
cumulative IP packet jitter and IP packetization.
³
VB(Min) is the minimum virtual buffer (VB).
³
VB(Max) is the maximum virtual buffer (VB).
