• Support analysis of ESG's according to IPDC- and OMA BCAST standard
• Reception and monitoring of ESG Bootstrap
• In-depth analysis of all bootstrap files
• Automatic recognition of transported ESG's
• Automatic creation all needed IP connections
• Reception and monitoring of ESG container
• support of IP multicast
• In-depth analysis of all container files
• Support of single and multiple transport mechanism
• Extraction of SDP files
• Decoding of ESG container
• Monitoring of ESG cycle times
• Structure of the complete ESG program list
• Automatic ESG updates
• Saving of all ESG information (XML, SDP, Images) as files in separate directories
• Monitoring several ESG's simultaneously

Note: From version 3.3 onwards SAMesg also supports BiM encoded ESG's.

Use SAMcorder to detect the ESG Bootstrap in the current MPEG-2 Transport Stream. With selection the ESG Bootstrap in the navigation of SAMcorder, the needed IP streamer is created automatically and at the same time SAMesg is started.

reception and analysis of all bootstrap files FDT instance access descriptor provider discovery each bootstrap file can be analyzed in detail multiple access descriptors and provider discoveries are supported the access descriptor files can be decoded up to the last bit all announced ESG's are listed in a tree-view the type of ESG, IPDC or OMA BCAST, is detected bootstrap updates will be recognized automatically and processed the time of last update is displayed updates are counted the time and average time of bootstrap completion is displayed the state of the bootstrap as well as all measured times may be monitored via SNMP (SAMager is needed)

reception and analysis of all container files single and multiple transport mechanism is supported each container file can be analyzed in detail the container files can be decoded up to the last bit extraction of all XML fragments, SDP's and Images all content, XML fragments, SDP's and Images are listed in a tree-view container updates will be recognized automatically and processed

the time of last update is displayed updates are counted the time and average time of ESG completion is displayed the state of the ESG as well as all measured times may be monitored via SNMP (SAMager is needed)

after successful processing, the whole ESG is displayed double click on a program entry to get additional content information program names are transmitted to SAMcorder to update the program list SDP files are transmitted to SAMcorder/SAMitor

SAMesg provides an extended and comprehensive solution for the analysis and monitoring of the DVB-H ESG. All ESG information may be analyzed in detail, up to the last bit.

SAMesg supports the IPDC and OMA BCAST standard.

SAMesg does closely interact with other components of the dvbSAM suite, especially with SAMcorder, SAMitor and SAMager.
