Broadcast Stream Analyzer
Overview
The Broadcast Stream Analyzer is DigiCAP’s dedicated tool for in-depth analysis and monitoring of ATSC 3.0 and TV 3.0 streams. It offers full STLTP decoding, advanced signaling analysis, and real-time video decoding to ensure standards-compliant transmission. With intuitive visualizations and smart error detection, it turns complex stream data into clear, actionable insights. Engineers and broadcasters like TV Globo rely on it for fast troubleshooting and consistent quality across Brazil’s TV 3.0 rollout.
Key Features
Broadcast Stream Analyzer gives deep, real-time insights to keep your ATSC 3.0 / TV 3.0 streams compliant, stable, and error-free with key features like:
- Comprehensive STLTP analysis
- Real-time video decoding & visualization
- Error & anomaly detection
- Visual confirmation
