DVB Calculator

DVB Calculator is a lightweight software application designed specifically for helping you perform several bitrate calculations for digital TV broadcasting systems, including DVB and ISDB standards. Plus, it integrates a TS file analyzer, bitrate extractor, and power unit convertor.

User interface

The utility adopts a multi-tabbed layout for helping you easily switch between several panels dedicated for calculating the bitrate of digital TV broadcasting systems using different DVB systems, such as DVB-S, DVB-C, DVB-T/H, as well as DVB-S2 and DVB-T2.

Several calculations to tinker with

Depending on the desired type of DVB system that you want to make use in your calculations, the program puts at your disposal several dedicated parameters. For example, the DVB-T2 offers support for total bitrate calculation, as well as frame size, duration, PLP and dummy cells calculations.
The TS file extraction tool is designed specifically for helping you work with a TS header parser and hex viewer, while the DVB-S2 includes pilots insertion and frame length, as well as support for bandwidth calculation. DVB-T/H provides additional information, such guard interval and symbol duration, while the IP over TS module allows you to select the protocol, TS packets per IP packets, and FEC columns and rows (FEC matrix).
Last but not least, you can create reports with all your calculations, print the information comprised in the report, as well as alter the layout of the program by changing the background and tab colors.

Bottom line

All in all, DVB Calculator comes with several handy features in order to help you calculate the bitrate of digital TV broadcasting systems. However, it doesn’t offer support for a help manual so rookies may spend some time trying to configure the dedicated parameters.
