Presentation time stamps
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Presentation time stamp (PTS) is a metadata field in an MPEG-2 Transport Stream that is used to assist the decoder in presenting programs on time, at the right speed, and with synchronization. The PTS periodically compares (and readjusts, if necessary) the program presentation time with the Program Clock Reference, or PCR, that is also transmitted in the Transport Stream.
