Calian Decode Software

The Decode (DECODE) software license is an advanced option for the Decimator D4 family. It enables deep frame-level analysis and decode verification of satellite carriers, providing insight into Forward Error Correction (FEC) types, encoding rates, and overall decode quality.

Technical Features

• Frame Processing
  ∙ Processes frames of the incoming signal to identify the FEC scheme used.
  ∙ Provides detailed decode quality metrics, specific to each supported signal type and modulation scheme.
• Supported Signal Types
  ∙ IESS-308, IESS-309, IESS-310, IESS-314
  ∙ DVB-SNG
  ∙ DVB-S
  ∙ DVB-S2
• Supported Modulation Types
  ∙ BPSK, QPSK, OQPSK
  ∙ 8PSK
  ∙ 8/16QAM
  ∙ 16/32APSK
  ∙ 64QAM
• Supported FEC Types
  ∙ SEQ (Sequential)
  ∙ VIT (Viterbi)
  ∙ TCM (Trellis-Coded Modulation)
  ∙ TPC (Turbo Product Codes)
  ∙ LDPC (Low-Density Parity-Check)
• Supported Encoding Rates
  ∙ 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8
  ∙ 5/12, 0.95, 21/44
• Licensing Model
  ∙ Each Decimator D4 requires a separate DECODE license.
  ∙ Installed via the device’s license management system (license file upload).

Compatibility

• Works with all Decimator D4 Spectrum Analyzer models (PCIe, Portable, Multi-Port) that include DVB-S/S2/SNG demodulation capability.
• Complements other optional software (e.g., CUC Carrier-under-Carrier, DTS Detector, SPS Spectator) for complete carrier monitoring and troubleshooting.
