NAME

6       dvbv5-tools - DVBv5 Tools
7
8        Set of DVBv5 tools, bundled together with libdvbv5
9
10       DVBv5 Tools is a small set of command line utilities that was developed
11       to be compliant with the newer features provided by version 5 of the
12       DVB API. The tools should also be backward compatible with the older v3
13       DVB API. They were written using libdvbv5.
14
15       It is composed of 4 tools:
16
17       · dvbv5-scan - Scans the channel transponders and gets the services
18         available there;
19
20       · dvbv5-zap - Locks into a channel (zap), allowing other applications
21         to get the stream at the dvr devices or to monitor the stream;
22
23       · dvb-fe-tool - Lists frontend properties and allow to manually set the
24         DVB frontend
25
26       · dvb-format-convert - Converts from/to other formats used by DVBv3
27         apps into the dvbv5 format.
28
29       The DVBv5 default file format is formed by a channel name, followed by
30       a series of key/value properties. Those tools also support the legacy
31       formats used by dvb-apps.
32
33       For example, this is a channel file with one DVB-C channel on it:
34
35       [CHANNEL]
36               DELIVERY_SYSTEM = DVBC/ANNEX_A
37               FREQUENCY = 573000000
38               SYMBOL_RATE = 5217000
39               INNER_FEC = NONE
40               MODULATION = QAM/256
41               INVERSION = AUTO
42
43
44        And this is (part of) a service (zap) file, produced from the above
45       channel definition using dvbv5-scan:
46
47       [SBT]
48               SERVICE_ID = 4
49               VIDEO_PID = 42
50               AUDIO_PID = 257
51               PID_f1 = 768
52               FREQUENCY = 573000000
53               MODULATION = QAM/256
54               INVERSION = AUTO
55               SYMBOL_RATE = 5217000
56               INNER_FEC = NONE
57               DELIVERY_SYSTEM = DVBC/ANNEX_A
58
59       [TNT]
60               SERVICE_ID = 48
61               VIDEO_PID = 336
62               AUDIO_PID = 337 338 849
63               PID_86 = 816
64               FREQUENCY = 573000000
65               MODULATION = QAM/256
66               INVERSION = AUTO
67               SYMBOL_RATE = 5217000
68               INNER_FEC = NONE
69               DELIVERY_SYSTEM = DVBC/ANNEX_A
