Key Features & Capabilities
Fully Automated Cell Processing
· Receives the complete broadcast stack with zero operator input beyond frequency and sample rate.
· Automatically detects cells, tracks internal clocks, and follows the broadcast schedule.
· Supports both unicast-mixed and broadcast-only carrier configurations.
Broad Transport & Modulation Support
· Supports multiple modulations including QPSK, 16-QAM, and 64-QAM.
· Flexible carrier bandwidths ranging from 15 to 40 resource blocks.
Flexible Content Delivery & Routing
· Delivers content in universally compatible formats for immediate playback.
· Multicast Re-injection: Re-transmits video onto the network exactly as broadcast so players can join directly.
· Versatile Output: Supports UDP single-player relays, direct .ts file writing, or saved FLUTE file downloads.
· Multi-Service Handling: Demuxes and independently routes multiple services carried on a single carrier.
Public Warning System (PWS)
· Enabled by default with no extra license tier required.
· Decodes and reports CMAS and ETWS emergency alerts when they go on air and when they clear.
Production-Grade Operation & Observability
· Built for real-world deployment rather than static demonstrations.
· Full HTTP API with live event streams, Prometheus metrics, and a published OpenAPI specification (26 resources).
Field Coverage & Survey Tools
· Built-in drive-test survey exporting to a spreadsheet at 1-second intervals (logged continuously regardless of decode success).
· Tracks cumulative signal quality, error rates, carrier offset, and media timing for immediate visibility of changes.
