GuideBuilder SI

DVB-SI generation and management

Triveni Digital GuideBuilder SI generator

GuideBuilder® SI generates accurate Digital Video Broadcasting Service Information (DVB-SI) for broadcasting and cable and provides an intuitive user interface for managing program information.

Generates consistent, accurate DVB-SI metadata

Accurate DVB-SI data is critical for DTV functions such as tuners finding channels, correct subtitles , and up-to-date EPG listings. EPGs in DVB-SI tables can hold program data for weeks and facilitate DVR recordings. With GuideBuilder SI, you can configure listing services for automatic data imports, edit schedules for last-minute changes and overruns, and ensure metadata reliability.

Easily integrates with your existing workflows

GuideBuilder SI works with DVB-SI multiplexers to create DVB-compliant transport streams. GuideBuilder SI supports DVB-T, DVB-C, DVB-S, and other emerging standards, covering the entire distribution and trans-mission chain. GuideBuilder SI can import data from listing services, traffic and automation systems, and off-air or live signals.

GuideBuilder SI includes

  • Intuitive user interface that does not require extensive knowledge of DVB standards
  • Flexible architecture that distributes effort conveniently within organization
  • Fully automated and scalable architecture that enables system to grow with broadcaster needs
  • Automatic generation of DVB-SI/PSI tables, EIT, EIT P/F, and EIT schedules
  • Private data descriptors support
  • Open development and integration compatible with all popular MPEG-2 encoders and multiplexers, including the capability to transfer SI data over proprietary protocols, FTP, and UDP/ASI streaming to multiplexers
  • Tight integration with several popular multiplexer manufacturers for consistent SI and increased system robustness
  • Accurate and timely EPG delivery supporting automatic program recording in PVR devices
  • Automatic schedule data importing compatible with many input sources. Input data can be from text files (XML, tab-delimited text, etc.) and from off-air or live signals
  • Reuse of SI data extracted from off-air or live signals and merge of local SI data at regional and local SI generation sites
