Standalone

SAMflute Standalone Mode

In standalone mode the solution provides IP Multicast/Unicast inputs via network interface card (e.g. Ethernet). This mode is suited especially for content- and service-providers as well as for developers, i.e. for users which have to analyze the FLUTE data carousels before or after they are multiplexed or de-multiplexed into or from the Transport Stream.

Together with atscSAM / dvbSAM

SAMflute along with atscSAM and dvbSAM

SAMflute is part of the decontis Analysis- and Monitoring Solutions for Mobile DTV atscSAM and dvbSAM. The FLUTE data are demultiplexed from the current Transport Stream which gets received via RF, IP, ASI or via playback of recorded streams. In this application SAMflute receives all data and interacts with other components via internal interfaces. This solution is suited especially for broadcasters which have to monitor FLUTE sessions in real-time and/or which have to monitor M-EAS or NRT services in real-time.
