DVB Explorer is a new-generation portable analyzer that provides detailed DVB component information. It is perfect for use in the field but what really makes this product one of a kind is the fact that it covers all DVB standards - T/T2, C and S/S2. It can receive live DVB T/T2, DVB C and DVB S/S2 signals and ensures complete and advanced MPEG decoding, ETSI TR 101 290 Layers 1,2 & 3 and multi-PLP analysis including PLP allocation, PLP extraction, T2 timestamp, T2/L1 pre- and post-signaling, BB frame, PID and EIT Tables.

It also supports MPEG transport stream analysis, plus MPEG-2 TS record and playback and MPEG-2 TS over IP forward. Powerful, practical and efficient, it has a compact and elegant design coupled with great features which include a selectable wide range IF filter bandwidth, a spectrum analyzer allowing checks of the RF carrier, constellation and Echo diagram display and precise measuring of RF, SNR, BER, CBER, PER, MER, SSI, SQI, C/N, Freq offset. All RF measurements can be stored into a log file for further analysis. This product lets users select between a predefined DVB channels scan or manual tune. PCR graphs and advanced EIT display are also available.

The device supports all modulation schemes from QPSK to 64QAM for DVB-T, QPS to 256QAM for DVB-T2, QAMQPSK to 32APSK for DVB-S/S2 and from 16QAM to 256QAM for DVB-C. File-based offline analysis is provided as well. The product offers an audio/video player supporting H.265/HEVC, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, MPEG-1/2, AAC, MP3, etc. It also provides multistream support for DVB-S2, as well as support for DVB-T, DVB-T/T2 & T2 Lite.

DVB Explorer is a solution that has no parallel on the market. Easy to power up via the USB port of your Windows laptop and available at an affordable price, which further increases its appeal, this versatile multi-standard product is your must-have portable analyzer.
