NAME

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