scope:

This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) specifies the transmission of MPEG-2 Transport Streams (TS) between two DVB interfaces as defined in EN 50083-9 [7] within Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) networks working at the ITU-T Recommendation G.702 [8] hierarchical bit-rates of 1 544 kbit/s, 2 048 kbit/s, 6 312 kbit/s, 8 448 kbit/s, 34 368 kbit/s, 44 736 kbit/s and 139 264 kbit/s. The use of any of these bit rates is optional, if however one or more rates are selected the complete specification applies. The definition of the network aspects of the transmission of MPEG-2-TSs is based to the maximum extent on existing international and European standards.

The equipment considered in this ETS is the Network Adapter performing the adaptation between MPEG-2-TSs and the interfaces of PDH networks.
