    Hello Rolf,


    The list of compatible graphics cards is provided in the package: Choix-Choice Encoder.txt

    GT200m seem to old.

    What is the error message ?


    @Jabi You can enter the power in "Tx Gain %"

    Hi Roll


    Sorry for the late reply, if the problem still exists it looks like a corrupted file.

    - uninstall all pass CCLEANER

    - download the setup again

    - reinstall with antivirus disabled

    Or maybe driver problem of graphic card, what is your choice of encoder in configuration ?

    -maybe look if you have the lasted driver of GeForce GTX 1650

    - test on soft encoder to see if the bug persists

    Hello everyone,


    New version V2.17 compatible with LimeSDR mini, PlutoSDR with manufacturer firmware and Pluto with F5OEO firmware.

    New compared to version 2.16:


    - Switch to ffmpeg version 6.0

    - Added old firmware versions F5OEO (ex 2908)

    - Added Rolloff 0.10

    - Added visualization encoding speed must be > 99% to avoid drops


    - Added H266 VVC Experimental codec only soft coding is available: monitor CPU load!

    >> don't forget to switch with soft encoder and in non-automatic settings

    >> BEWARE experimental only start with small bitrate and low fsp 66KS or 125KS and 8fps then gradually increase

    >> The newer your CPU, the better your results will be


    To receive the H266 >> supply "DecodeH266" file for h266 decoding in UDP with ffplay or VVCeasy


    good test http://www.vivadatv.org/viewtopic.php?f=78&t=1004

    Hello,


    The new DATV-Easy 2.17 is made with ffmpeg 6 !

    It will avaible soon for your test !

    The script which I give the link for decoding is made with ffplay (ffmpeg 6)

    A plugin exist also for VLC

    For VVC H266 the minimum CPU seem a old I5

    ON1RC test the limit of the CPU I5 98 %

    For me between 60 and 100% with a old I7

    Please note that the software coding remains experimental and is not yet as good as the H265, it is limited in speed and fps by the power of the cpu.

    Its quality can still be improved.

    Hello


    This new compression will reduce the video stream by 50% for the same quality and therefore the bandwidth occupied.

    It is a future compression standard for 4K 8K television.

    The first televisions equipped with a decoding chip should be released this year !

    For the moment the H266 only works in soft coding because there is not yet a graphic card which supports it.

    CPU load goes from 60 to 100%

    for the moment it is necessary to limit to a small flow and fps

    The latency is about 15 seconds.

    If you want to test in reception and give a report download the files below. You must unzip the folder on the desktop and if necessary modify the ip and the port in the .bat file to correspond to the udp output of the Minitiouner

    and launch the .bat corresponding to the desired definition.

    Hello,


    Here is the new version 2.16 which includes all the improvements indicated in the post above.

    You can use it with:

    - the ADALM PLUTO in USB2 with the original firmware from Analog Device

    - The ADALM PLUTO in Ethernet with the Firmware of Evariste F5OEO from 2021 : 0201, 0303, (2103), 2402

    - The LimeSDR mini in USB3


    You can leave many of the default settings on Automatic or experiment with your settings.

    The software also allows you to monitor and control your amplifiers by relay control.

    The ZIP Pack includes:

    - the installation executable

    - the drivers to install (for the Pluto install the 2 exe's)

    - links to compatible graphics cards or processor for hardware encoding

    - the program for an Arduino Uno with an Ethernet shield card for monitoring the current, voltage, temperature and power.

    - a summary of possible remote commands in UDP

    - A shortcut to start OBS automatically with the virtual camera


    Do not forget to read the PDF notice before any questions.

    Thank you for your feedback and encouragement.


    Happy testing!

    >> Attention for NVIDIA coding You need to update your NVIDIA graphics card drivers

    Hello Sandor


    Don't think that OM is not interested in this AV1 codec as well as H266!

    It is not yet well implemented by the manufacturers but we are testing it.

    Currently the mpeg-ts container is not compatible with this codec for DVB broadcasting.

    The future will undoubtedly be the DVB-GSE container, the first tests of which have begun.

    - Modification of the PTT button > remains engaged independently of Stop

    - adjustment of automatic PCR thresholds

    - reset AD9361 Pluto on exit

    - reduction of thresholds to improve low throughput SR25 or 20

    - Addition of new remote commands in UDP (see Remote UDP server file)

    - Added 4K for fun..

    - ffmpeg parameter optimizations for low speed and cuts: buffer setting, data stub thresholds, automatic values

    - added latest version ffmpeg 2022 12 06 (newer than 5.1.2)

    - added time delay setting on LimeSDR mini calibration (11 seconds by default)

    - improved image definition presets

    Hello,



    A new version of DATV-Easy 2.09 is in preparation:
    - modification reset watchguard and ARDUINO program
    - Add QO100 rx frequency display
    - Added rolloff 0.15
    - Choice of squared or not Watts measurements in param.ini file
    - Modification "Automatic image" in "All automatic" for audio also (memorization)
    - Modification PTT button > remains engaged regardless of Stop
    - auto PCR threshold setting
    - reset AD9361 Pluto on exit
    - application of new parameters by pressing "START +" again


    To output a udp stream for the Portsdown FreeStreamCoder is sufficient because DATV-Easy allows you to drive the Lime mini directly via USB.


    >> I just upgraded FreeStreamCoder 2.90 with the same settings as DATV-Easy.

    Hi there,


    New version compatible with LimeSDR mini, PlutoSDR with manufacturer firmware and Pluto with F5OEO firmware.

    Currently being tested on F5OEO "perseverance" firmware 2021 03 03 ;)


    >> No more need to open several software at the same time and coder or external machine everything is integrated: ^^


    • H265 coding with calculations

    • Send Control replaces Pluto's web interface with a browser.

    • UDP direct output to replace FreeStreamCoder on the latest F5OEO firmwares (in Ethernet)

    • Relay control

    • Monitoring

    • Extension of frequencies from 10 to 6000 MHz

    • Added Default frequency of 15 fsp

    • Check “All Automatic” to choose all automatic or manual definition and image frequency.

    • Can receive external frequency and SR commands via UDP request for use with software such as the longmynd client.

    • Added manual PTT control of relays or digital outputs.


    Coming soon to beta testers

    Hello,


    Here is the file that I had prepared for the HAM RADIO 2022 DATV Forum which was presented by Michel HB9DUG whom I thank again.


    Current developments for version 2.00 are:

    • Extension of frequencies from 10 to 6000 MHz

    • Added Default frequency of 15 fsp

    • Check “All Automatic” to choose the type of settings.

    • Frequency and SR command by UDP request for use with software such as the longmynd client.

    • Choice of directly ordering the latest F5OEO firmware without opening the browser (in Ethernet and UDP)

    • Added manual PTT control of relays or digital outputs

    • Direct UDP output to replace FreeStreamCoder
