Application

(1) In-depth Analysis recorded Transport Streams

  • analysis of ISDB PSI/SI tables up to the last bit
  • support of mixed ISDB-T and 1seg transport streams
  • detailed content analysis, e.g. all important video and audio stream parameters like
    • audio and video encoding type
    • number of audio channels
    • audio sampling bit rate
    • video dimensions
    • video frame rate, and more…
  • channel allocation at one glance

(2) Real-Time Analysis of ISDB-T live broadcasts and recorded Transport Streams

  • live broadcast reception via RF, IP or ASI
  • playback recorded transport streams
  • real-time analysis MPEG layer acc. TR 101 290
  • real-time analysis of PIDs and Programs contained in the multiplex
  • real-time analysis EPG and Closed Captioning, incl. rendering
  • audio/video playback

Components

isdbSAM TS Analyzer

  • support of mixed ISDB-T and 1seg transport streams
  • treeview of all PIDs in transport stream incl. additional information
  • detailed content analysis, e.g. all important video and audio stream parameters like audio and video encoding type, number of audio channels, audio sampling bit rate, video dimensions, video frame rate…
  • channel allocation at one glance – graphical representation of all PIDs and distribution of them
  • EPG analysis + rendering for ISDB-T and 1seg programs
  • CRC check of PSI/SI tables

isdbSAM I/O Processor

isdbSAM I/O Processor

  • live reception of  multiplexes via RF, ASI, IP interfaces
  • playback of recorded transport streams
  • live output to various IP streamers, ASI/SPI output devices and files (recording)
  • supporting various types of IP based output streamers; number of simultan IP streams is unlimited
    • complete multiplex
    • particular ISDB-T programs out of the multiplex or single PIDs
    • particular 1seg services out of the multiplex
  • data duplication – same data can be streamed to different destinations simultaneously
  • takes transport stream snapshots on mouse click
  • easy navigation within the programs and services of the multiplex
    isdbSAM TS Recorder
  • real-time analysis of the complete multiplex on MPEG-2 layer acc. ETSI TR 101290
  • analysis of all  PIDs and Program bitrates incl. error indication according configured thresholds
    isdbSAM IP Streaming
  • comprehensive EPG analysis features
  • comprehensive analysis features for Closed Captions (CC)
  • individual configuration of error and warning thresholds for each particular real-time analyzed parameter
  • de-multiplexing of all programs within the channel/multiplex simultaneously
  • streaming of the de-multiplexed programs via IP to other destinations for all programs simultaneously

isdbSAM A/V Monitoring Wall

  • simultaneous playback of all video and audio services

isdbSAM A/V Monitor Wall

  • support of all video and audio formats used in these broadcast technologies (MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264…)
  • comprehensive realtime transcoding and streaming features for seamless streaming of regional programs over network at a low bandwidth into a remote operation center for visual monitoring
  • support for regular TV image snapshot creation and streaming (provides visual monitoring at ultra-low bandwidth)
  • provides audio bars for visual monitoring of audio channels
  • adjustable number of monitor columns and tiles
  • adjustable monitor sizes to optimal fit to the available screen size
  • support of IP multicast
  • support of Closed Captioning
  • recording of single A/V services

isdbSAM Loudness Measurement and Monitoring

  • Integrated Loudness analysis according ITU-R BS.1770.3 and EBU R-128

SAMloudio Loudness Analysis Tile

  • Momentary Loudness (400 ms integration time, 75% overlapping, 10 measurements per second)
  • Short Term Loudness (3 seconds integration time)
  • True Peak Level (TPL) measurement of every sub-channel
    (incl. 4-times oversampling for enhanced accuracy, 10 measurements per second)
  • Loudness Range
  • Audio Freeze detection
  • Audio Silence detection
  • Live Meter (60 seconds, scalable, more than 100 live meters can be displayed on a single 4k screen)
  • Solution is CPU efficient, it can analyze/monitor the loudness of more than 100 audio streams on a recent Core i7 CPU incl. all measurements and visualizations
  • can be used along with arbitrary MPEG, AAC and AC3 audio codecs1

Summary Window

  • all parameters like target loudness, warning and error thresholds, loudness scales etc. are configurable individually for every audio stream
  • fully integrated into decontis SNMP tool chain for automated 24/7 SNMP based monitoring
  • for any audio stream a live playback is possible, even for several streams simultaneously, if required for any reason

1audio codecs are not included but must be installed separately
