OPTIONS DESCRIPTION
1. StreamXpress - Playout Software
- Low-cost, high-performance playout software that supports all DekTec output adapters
- Endless play with optional automatic correction of continuity-counter, PCR/PTS/DTS and TDT/TOT fields
- SOAP-based remote control to automate StreamXpress operations (DTC-302-RC option)
- Saving and restoring playout parameters using XML-based settings file
- Reproducible injection of errors in the transport stream with adjustable error rate
- Easy-to-use control of modulation and channel simulation parameters
2. DtTV - MPEG-2 Transport Stream Television Software
- Live decoding of any unscrambled service within a transport-stream
- Intuitive
user interface, enabling easy switching between services (zapping),
controlling audio volume and brightness level and selection of an input
device
- Decoding of multiple television services in parallel, for creating a mosaic
- Quarter-resolution decoding mode for using less processor cycles per decoded picture
- Decoding of MPEG-1/2, AC3 audio
- Decoding of MPEG-4 part 10 / H.264, MPEG-1/2/4, SD/HD,
- Decoding of HD video (high-end processor and graphics card required)
3. DtGrabber+ - Transport Stream / SDI Advanced Recorder
- Recording of MPEG-2 Transport-Streams or SDI signals
- Multi-file functions:
- Erase files older than X hours
- Maximum number of files
- Time stamp/index in filename - Merge tool for combining several files
- Remote monitoring and control through SNMP
- Select PIDs to record, with range support, positive/negative filtering
- Record to a single file, to multiple files or “looped”: continuous recording of the last X seconds/minutes/hours or MB
- SDI recording: 8 or 10 bits, full frame or video only, Huffman compression on/off
- Disk-space monitoring
4. StreamXpert - Transport Stream Analyser Software
- Real-time analysis, monitoring and recording of MPEG-2 transport streams
- Provides detailed statistics on the PIDs, services and tables found in the transport stream
- User definable TR 101 290 templates
- PCR analysis
- PID grid: compact overview of all PIDs
- Integrated video and audio decoder with support for MPEG-2/H.264 video streams and AC3 audio
- Deep decoding of PSI, DVB-SI, DVB-RCS and ATSC-PSIP tables and descriptors
- Supports DVB-RCS tables: SCT, FCT, SPT, CMT, TBTP, RMT tables and common DVB-RCS descriptors
- Support for decoding of custom descriptors and tables with a user-defined XML template file
