The MPEG Transport Stream (MPEG-TS, MTS, TP) is a standard digital container format for transmission and storage of audio, video, and Program and System Information Protocol (PSIP) data. It is widely used in broadcast systems such as DVB, ATSC, and IPTV. MPEG-TS is characterized by its robustness in noisy environments, making it suitable for over-the-air broadcasting and satellite transmission. The format allows for multiplexing multiple audio and video streams, along with metadata, into a single stream. This is crucial for delivering multiple channels of television or radio over a single transmission medium. The transport stream is packetized, with each packet typically 188 bytes in length, and includes synchronization information to ensure reliable decoding even in the presence of errors. It is also used for storing video on Blu-ray discs and other digital media. The format's resilience and multiplexing capabilities make it a cornerstone of digital broadcasting and media distribution.
