Beside the professional solution for RF measurement using the SAM-RX 100 receiver, a more cheaper alternative exists by using
commmon USB-2 DVB-T sticks which are based on a DiBcom chipset dib7xxx.

Live Analysis of MPEG-2 Transport Streams |
SAMcorder provides two possibilities for the live analysis of MPEG-2
Transport Streams.
- SAMbera
SAMbera performs live DVB Measurement that is oriented on MPEG-2 Measurement Guideline TR 101 290.
Because dvbSAM is focused on DVB-H, DVB-H specific enhancements in regard to this guideline
have additionally been implemented (Time Slice and Jitter analysis).
Call SAMbera from SAMcorder directly. For more information see the SAMbera product page.
-
SAMalyzer
SAMcorder creates a snapshot of the MPEG-2 Transport Stream which is currently received and send it to the SAMalyzer application. SAMalyzer performs an in-depth analysis of this transport stream. It extremely simplifies finding problems and errors within DVB-H broadcast services.
Call SAMalyzer from SAMcorder directly. For more information see the SAMalyzer product page.
Note: SAMbera and SAMalyzer are not part of SAMcorder. Both tools have to be ordered separately.
- comfortable scanning a wide frequency range
- several frequency plans
- find out and list all DVB-H and DVB-T services
- comfortable navigation through all services of a channel

- use SAMcorder to playback a recorded TS
- SAMcorder supports DekTec DTA 110T, a DVB-H/-T modulator
- DekTec DTA 110T supports 4k mode
- create your own DVB-H live signal
- powerful and cost-efficient solution for testing DVB-H hard- and software components

SAMcorder provides the central input/output processor within dvbSAM suite.
SAMcorder is able to process DVB-H, DVB-T, DVB-S and DVB-S2 transmissions.
SAMcorder does closely interact with other components of the dvbSAM suite, especially with SAMesg,
SAMalyzer, SAMitor and SAMflute.
