Digital TV systems
The Brief
The client was looking for a partner who could assist them with the architecture and development of their new 24/7 Transport Stream (TS) monitoring system, DTC-720 Xpect® Mosaic. This software package is designed to provide a combination of 24/7 Transport-Stream monitoring and a fully configurable multi-viewer Mosaic of decoded video, audio bars, and monitoring status.
The Solution
We collaborated closely with DekTec’s engineering and marketing teams to develop a highly configurable, feature-rich software product. The software is designed to run on standard PC hardware and can simultaneously monitor, record, and decode a large number of SD and HD DVB and ATSC Transport Streams simultaneously. One of the key achievements was to create a TS monitor with efficiency, stability, and reliability 24/7.
Analysis of product requirements, specification development, implementation of solution and comprehensive test system, with branch, merge and release management.
Development of highly efficient, comprehensive codebase, including third-party elements and interfaces to ensure industry-leading performance on a range of PC and Operating System environments. Complex thread and memory management tasks, highly evolved database integration and Transport Stream processing, serviced through web GUI, SOAP and SNMP calls, all served to produce a highly configurable, extremely stable, best-in-class product.
A fully automatic regression test suite was created to support the development. The first task performed after bug detection was to create an associated test to add to the suite. A full bank of soak test PC/OS configurations was used to ensure fully stable solutions capable of long-term 24/7 monitoring on multiple platforms were released to customers.

Fen Technology has been a valuable addition to the Xaar engineering team. They have allowed our engineers to remain focused on core developments and at the same time giving us the confidence that we can take on a greater developmental roadmap whilst retaining full intellectual ownership of all our product designs.
Fen was able to hit the ground running and, using their considerable skills and experience in Bluetooth product development, was able to quickly bring Securecom to a point where we were able to demonstrate a complete solution. As a result, we have asked Fen to continue to support Securecom towards Bluetooth Qualification and full production.
Fen has impressed us with how they have created a solution that has met both EMT’s needs of integration with our existing infrastructure and way of working, and provided a high quality feature enhancement to our product range.
Fen Technology’s skills and experience were a key factor in selecting them as a development partner. Fen’s ability to de-risk the design process was a significant benefit to us during the product development.
Fen Technology proved a worthy partner in supporting Nujira at a critical stage in the development of our leading-edge power amplification technology for the cellular infrastructure market. Fen’s experience and maturity of approach has given us the confidence to entrust them with a range of tasks that were integral to our early-stage development.
Fen’s engineers have done an excellent job in creating a sophisticated, flagship product that outperforms the competition with respect to price/performance ratio. The development methodology is mature and leads to qualitatively solid software, while Fen’s approach has been always persistent and professional.
