DTC-378 T2Xpress
1. Introduction
The DTC-378 T2Xpress software package is designed to create DVB-T2 test signals in the form of
I/Q sample files, T2-MI files, DVB-T2 RF output and T2-MI over ASI output. T2Xpress can be
installed by the user on any qualifying PC, as specified in section 2.
T2Xpress allows you to set the DVB-T2 parameters, specify the T2-frame structure, PLP parameters
and select the PLP sources, add noise, add multiple channel simulation paths and generate the DVB-
T2 test signals. Generation of DVB-T2 signals using the T2-base, T2-lite profile and a combination
of both profiles are supported.
The I/Q sample file and T2-MI file can be processed by your application or it can be played out
through the StreamXpress.
Note: The T2Xpress functions depend on the installed options, as specified in section 3.
