StreamXpert software can be used in conjunction with the RF adapters for complete analysis of the MPEG information. StreamXpert performs real-time analysis, monitoring and recording of MPEG-2 transport streams.

Complete diagnostics and statistics for PIDs, services, components and tables (including deep decoding of PSI and DBV/SI tables) will be produced by StreamXpert operating at the maximum effective DVB/ASI bit rate (214 Mbit/s) StreamXpert will also decode custom tables and descriptors using custom templates. The unique PID grid displays an instant overview of the entire contents of the transport stream. StreamXpert also supports audio decoding with AC3 audio decoding. StreamXpert performs all ETR101-290 measurements including PCR analysis. Like RFXpert, StreamXpert can capture the transport stream to a file for offline analysis.

Product Features

RFXpert Software

• True demodulated digital readings for MER, Pre-BER, Post BER, and EVM• No calculated readings which can leave you wondering about the accuracy of each measurement.• A proof-positive method of signal documentation or drop-point comparisons with programmable, user defined

logging and auto-inspection capabilities. • Simply set the parameters you want to test the signal against, and run “Auto Inspect”. You get a pass/fail report

that can be store for future reference or documentation.

Sencore offers a complete family of portable RF measurement and analysis tools. The DTU-235 (COFDM) and DTU-236 (ATSC/QAM/NTSC) RF adapters are lightweight and easy to use. Tune any UHF/VHF or cable channel and record MPEG-2 Transport Streams directly to a laptop for effortless field testing and recording. Both of these adapters enable engineers and technicians to take a snapshot of their RF signal quality including RF level, MER, Pre-BER and Post BER for quick troubleshooting and RF analysis.

The DTU-235 and DTU-236 can be combined with Sencore’s RFXpert software for a truly powerful RF measurement tool that can be used in the field or in the lab. RFXpert provides an easy-to-read spectral display with a choice of single channel, adjacent channel, or full

spectral display for testing channel interference or a dropped channel. RFXpert also provides both constellation and eye diagram displays and the ability to turn off and on 8-VSB tap equalization to see the uncorrected signal being received. All measurements are true demodulated digital readings for MER, Pre-BER, Post BER, and EVM. RFXpert records the transport stream at a full 19.39 Mb/s, exactly like customers receive the signal giving engineers a proof-positive method of signal documentation or drop-point comparisons with programmable, user-defined logging and auto inspection capabilities. Simply set the parameters to be tested against and run the “Auto Inspect” to get a passed/failed report that can be stored for future reference or documentation. Using a client server architecture, RFXpert allows access to the adapters over any LAN connection. The DTU-236 hardware supports 44 MHz frequencies making RFXpert software ideal for IF analysis.
