Frequently asked questions about MPEG, DVB and SDI analyzers
What is the difference between StreamXpert and StreamXpert Lite?
Both come in the same install package; StreamXpert Lite (DTC-321-SL) is the licence with a more limited feature set. Tell us what you need and we will say which licence is enough.
Is a DEKTEC adapter required for analysis?
ASI, SDI and RF inputs require a DEKTEC card or USB device. StreamXpert can also analyse a transport stream over IP through a standard PC network port.
What is TR 101 290?
The ETSI guideline for measuring DVB transport streams; it classifies errors in three priority levels. StreamXpert applies these tests with user-defined templates.
Which software is used for SDI analysis?
SdEye. It analyses waveform, vectorscope, audio and ancillary (ANC) data on SDI up to 4K UHD and on SMPTE 2110 signals.
How is a software licence delivered?
DEKTEC licences are stored on a DEKTEC device or on a USB dongle. When ordering, you state the serial number of the device that will hold the licence.

- If you know the code: the part number (for example DTC-320-SX), quantity and delivery country are enough.
- If you do not: tell us the signal (ASI, IP, RF, SDI) and the standard; we recommend the software and adapter.
- If you already own a DEKTEC adapter: send its model; we tell you which software runs on it.
