SAMcorder is acting as central input/output processor, managing all input/output operations.
SAMcorder is interacting in real-time with almost all dvbSAM components
(
SAMager Agent,
SAMalyzer,
SAMbera,
SAMbuddy,
SAMcover,
SAMesg,
SAMflute and
SAMitor).
It interacts with all these components simultaneously, de-multiplexes the transport stream in real-time and provides all these components the data needed for their operation, regardless of which input interface gets used.
It also acts as central data exchange, i.e. it receives analysis results from these components (e.g. ESG data from SAMesg) and provides it to other components for further processing.
SAMcorder's output capabilities are outstanding. It manages
dozens of outputs simultaneously, thereby supporting individual configuration of every particular output.
Furthermore SAMcorder performs various
RF measurements.
For DVB-H SAMcorder includes its own
ISMAcryp engine which enables SAMcorder to descramble ISMAcryp encryped DVB-H video and audio programs based on
OMA BCAST DRM and SCP profiles.
All programs inside a channel can be descrambled simultaneously and afterwards displayed in a
mosaic wall.

Beside the professional RF measurement solutions using the receivers mentioned above, a budget alternative exists by using
commmon USB-2 DVB-T sticks based on a DiBcom dib7000 chipset, such as the Pinnacle PCTV Nano or Pinnacle PCTV Diversity stick.
