ENENSYS DiviCatch analyzer extends capabilities to ETR290

ENENSYS Technologies, an innovative company developing high-quality equipment for Digital Television broadcasting, is proud to announce the new generation of their DiviCatch analyzer application. The new 4.0 release now includes ETR290.

 

DiviCatch is a compact and USB self-powered broadcast recorder and analyzer, that is also capable of decoding services for real-time program monitoring. This in-hand diagnosis tool is already a widely used and acclaimed device among ENENSYS' customer base of over 200 clients around the world. DiviCatch has been available for months for baseband interfaces (DVB-SPI, DVB-ASI and ETI), and has been recently extended to RF for live stream recording and analysis. DiviCatch RF-C for Digital Cable networks has been available since the autumn, and DiviCatch RF-T/H for DVB-T and DVB-H networks will already be released in a few weeks. Compared to the baseband devices, DiviCatch RF-capable analyzers provide additional real-time RF key indicators to achieve quick and exhaustive diagnosis on the network.
Today, ENENSYS Technologies has enhanced the companion software shipped with all DiviCatch devices. In addition to MPEG2-TS real-time table parsing and bitrate monitoring, DiviCatch analysis software now integrates ETR290. ETR290 is standardized guidelines issued by the DVB organization for measurements in DVB systems. These guidelines are intended to provide an exhaustive overview of elements that matter for the transmission of a stream. All parameters tested in ETR290 are split over three priorities. First-level priority lists a basic set of parameters which are considered necessary to ensure that the TS can be decoded. Second-level priority lists additional parameters which are recommended for continuous monitoring. And third-level priority lists further optional parameters covering varied interests. DiviCatch application implements parameters of the three priority levels: Full ETR290 and additional DVB-H specific parameters will be available in future releases.
Offering customized or DVB-based thresholds, the DiviCatch raises an alarm each time an element in the stream gets out of set boundaries and the counter of the errored parameter is incremented. The different parameters making up the ETR290 standard can be individually added to a log file for continuous monitoring. The new ETR290 feature smoothly integrates in the DiviCatch user-friendly interface that is so much appreciated by ENENSYS' customers.
"For our existing customers, ENENSYS is a trusted partner because they know that DiviCatch is a future-proof solution in an ever-changing industry like broadcast and they have free access to all future releases. For new customers, DiviCatch is a strong and already well-proven analysis compact device that will keep extending its capabilities in the next months at no cost for them", said Nicolas Fannechère, VP Marketing at ENENSYS.
