Broadcasting a television channel normally requires several separate systems: playout automation, transport stream generation, service information tables, EPG generation, teletext insertion, monitoring, and a reliable output path to DVB, IPTV, or RF distribution. With VMA MUX and VMA Teletext Generator, VMA Broadcast is developing a compact and practical solution for creating an automatic TV channel … Read more

Having up-to-date transponder information is essential for satellite downlink operators, monitoring stations, broadcasters, and technical teams that depend on reliable reception data. VMA Satellite Scan was developed to automate this process. The software performs complete satellite scans, detects active transponders, compares them with previous scan results, and identifies newly found carriers. Each confirmed transponder is … Read more

Modern DVB tuner hardware is capable of far more than simply locking onto transponders. With the right software, it becomes a powerful RF analysis instrument. VMA Ultimate Stream Reader was created to unlock this potential — combining real-time spectrum monitoring, automated blind scanning, and deep signal inspection into a single engineering tool. Built on top … Read more

Hybrid Broadcast Inspection for Real-World Engineers Hybrid broadcast services are no longer optional.HbbTV portals, catch-up TV, interactive overlays and broadband-delivered video are now integral parts of modern DVB services. Yet most transport stream analysers stop at signalling. They parse the AIT.They list the application IDs.They validate descriptors. But they don’t actually let you see what … Read more

Electronic Program Guide (EPG) data is often treated as a secondary layer in broadcast monitoring. As long as the EIT tables are present and syntactically valid, most systems consider the job done. But in real broadcast environments, that is not enough. With the latest update to VMA Transport Stream Analyser, we introduce a new level … Read more

When working with video compression, most tools show you the decoded picture. That’s useful, but it only tells half the story. What often matters more—especially in broadcast and live environments—is how the encoder interprets motion. That was the motivation behind VMA Motion Analyser. This tool was built to visualise real codec motion vectors in real … Read more

Broadcast transport streams are expected to be robust, standards-compliant, and predictable under stress.However, real-world contribution feeds, multiplexers, and headends often deviate from ideal conditions. To address this, VMA Transport Stream Analyser now includes real-time ETSI TR 101 290 monitoring, providing engineers with immediate visibility into transport integrity, timing, and service information consistency. What is ETSI … Read more

VMA Enigma2 Client Pro is a professional Enigma2 viewer designed for broadcast engineers and technical users who need fast, structured access to services — not a consumer TV interface. It connects directly to Enigma2-based receivers via OpenWebIF and exposes the receiver’s service database in a clear, engineering-oriented structure. Structured service navigation Services are presented exactly … Read more

VMA Video Analyser now includes an optional AI-assisted image assessment to support broadcast operators during live monitoring. The AI does not replace scopes, alarms, or engineering judgement. It provides a short, human-readable verdict that complements the existing technical measurements already available in VMA. What the AI Provides The output is intentionally concise and action-oriented, designed … Read more
