Abstract:
1. A method for synchronization of a moving picture experts group (MPEG) transport stream, which minimizes a delay of an initial synchronization, the method comprising: comparing sync words indicating a start point of the MPEG transport stream with predetermined code words; determining, as a result of the comparison, whether a bit difference between the sync words and the code words is less than or equal to a threshold value when a mode of a packet synchronization unit is set to “0”; verifying if all bits of the sync words correspond to all bits of the code words, when a determination is made as a result of the determination that the bit difference is less than the threshold value; setting the mode of a packet synchronization unit to “1”, when a determination is made as a result of the determination that the all bits of the sync words is equal to the all bits of the predetermined code words; and descrambling the MPEG transport stream when a determination is made as a result of the determination that the bit difference is less than the threshold value or the mode of the packet synchronization unit is set to “1”.
