Abstract
As in many digital telecommunications systems, the received data streams over Digital Video Broadcasting for Handhelds (DVB-H) may contain bursty transmission errors. The bursty error characteristics affect the end users' perceived audiovisual quality. This study examined the perceived unacceptability of instantaneous but noticeable audio, visual and audiovisual errors. The erroneous streams were generated from four popular television contents by applying three simulated error patterns with different error rates (1.7%, 6.9%, 13.8%) and error burst durations. Instantaneous unacceptability of errors was evaluated by 30 participants with simplified continuous assessment while watching the program content. The results show that with the two lowest error rates the audio errors were more unacceptable than video errors and with the highest error rate the visual and audiovisual errors become the most unacceptable.
