What's Included

The StreamSleuth-LG includes...

	The OnAir Creator This ATSC/Analog/QAM receiver is based upon the LG 5th Generation ATSC/Analog/QAM tuner and connects to the USB 2.0 port of your laptop/desktop PC. When used in conjunction with the bundled software (TS Reader Professional from CoolSTF) your laptop/desktop PC is transformed into a DTV Broadcast Stream Analyzer!
(click for larger image)	TSReader Professional (included) TSReader Professional is the powerful Stream Analysis software for analyzing Over-The-Air and Cable (QAM) DTV. It is perfect for the broadcast engineer who wants to analyze the data stream of their transmission without spending tens of thousands of dollars. It is an extremely economical way to monitor FCC compliance.
(click for larger image)	The OnAir HDTV Program (included) This application allows you to view streams as a consumer would see them, and in addition, provides useful DVR functionality. It includes support for both DTV (OTA and unencrypted QAM) as well as Analog TV (OTA and Cable).

TSReader Features

Basic Features:

• Decodes MPEG-2 tables with DVB, ATSC and Digicipher II extensions
• Decodes unscrambled MPEG-2 video in thumbnail format
• Decodes unscrambled MPEG-4 and H.264 video in thumbnail format
• Decodes unscrambled VC-1 video in thumbnail format
• Thumbnails can be exported as they are generated to JPEG files for remote monitoring via a web browser
• High speed parallel PMT parser
• Parallel video decoding (high end CPUs recommended)
• Parses MPEG, A/52 (AC3) and DTS audio streams to show bitrate/mode settings
• Indicates CC/DTVCC streams for ATSC streams and VBI/Teletext/Subtitle/WSS/VPS on DVB muxes
• Supports a wide range of MPEG-2 hardware input and output devices
• Transport streams can also be fed from a file
• Records the transport stream to a disk file
• Records an individual program to a disk file with PAT/PMT regeneration into files with a very flexible file naming scheme
• Decodes IP/DVB transmissions in MPE format with decodes of the MAC and IP destination addresses
• Can save the payload from TCP and UDP transmissions and act as a multicast UDP/IP/DVB router
• Generates PID usage graph with percentage displays for each PID
• Displays actual bitrate on PIDs carrying PCR and estimated bitrates for non PCR carrying PIDs
• PID graph is color coded to indicate unscrambled and scrambled PIDs
• Counts continuity and TEI errors on mux and PID-by-PID basis
• Variable resolution real-time or average charting
• Table report generation into HTML
• Export mux information to XML
• EPG data export to XMLTV format for use with myHTPC and other HTPC frontends
• Automatic transport stream recording and export for unattended operation
• Control over D-VHS decks for unattended HDTV recording (Windows XP)
• Supports plugins written for MultiDec
• Manually defined channels can be added to any multiplex
• Record PIDs from a mux either as separate files or combined in their received order
• Multiple card support in a single system with qualified drivers
• TCP/IP based remote control server to allow TSReader to be operated remotely by other software
• Graphing capability
• EPG grid for DVB and ATSC networks
• Record scheduling from EPG Grid using the standard Windows Scheduler
• Video mosaic shows all video streams in the mux
• Archiving mode - records all programs from all or some channels within a mux
• Profiles - different configurations for TSReader allowing multiple instances to run simultaneously
• EPG server to provide programming information to other TSReaders running in archiving mode
• Closed Caption (EIA-608) decoder for caption monitoring
• Stream monitor function with alarms (ETR 290 style)
• UDP Forwarder - routes programs or the entire mux to UDP unicast/multicast
• Custom descriptor decoding

Stream Analysis

• Find PIDs in a mux quickly even if the MPEG-2 tables aren't correct
• Analyze new transmissions and get all the pertinent technical information about the mux in just a few seconds
• Record free-to-air SD and HD programs directly to the hard drive
• Record free-to-air HD programs directly to D-VHS decks
• Record the entire mux and later use TSReader as a demultiplexor to pull out the individual programs

Stream Monitoring

• Detects if an encoder is running correctly or how much bandwidth is being wasted on null or ghost packets
• Monitors JPEG thumbnails of free-to-air MPEG video to verify correct encoder operation
• Exports automatically DVB tables for real-off-air stream verification
• Transcodes the MPEG-2 stream in real-time with VLC to MPEG-4 and then streaming over the Internet - allows remote monitoring of the transmitted stream anywhere in the world

Stream Viewing

• Stream free-to-air HD over Firewire to D-VHS decks for real-time decoding with no CPU load and no DirectShow filter issues
• Watch free-to-air SD live on the XBox with XBox Media Player
• Streams to VLC which can decode for playback, transcode for Internet streaming and a whole variety of other neat things
• Streams video over a network to a Roku HD-1000 HDTV player. Capable of handling MPEG-2 HD streams up to about 50 Mbps

Computer Requirements

• WindowsXP-based PC
• 800 MHz or faster processor to insure packets aren't lost with SD streams
• 2.5 GHz or faster for HD
• A display with at least 1024 x 768 resolution (TSReader Professional will not display correctly with lower resolution displays)
