UniSoft Corporation DV-TIDE Headend Simulator enableTV logo

DV-TIDE is an MPEG-2 transport stream player with one or more QAM modulated RF outputs. Such outputs may include EBIF and tru2way (OCAP) interactive applications and any appropriate service information (SI).

DV-TIDE is designed to operate as a headend simulator and is particularly suitable in a lab and testing environment. DV-TIDE is also useful in standalone environments - such as digital signage or the hospitality industry.

Standard Configurations
  1. 1 RU DV-TIDE with one quad-port QAM card (four adjacent frequencies)
  2. 2 RU DV-TIDE with up to four quad-port QAMs, total of 16 QAM outputs
  3. Multiple DV-TIDE units may be daisy-chained and controlled by the master unit
Video Broadcast
  1. Transport stream generation and play-out or delivery of pre-built streams
