Software allows the production and detection of signals used for transferring SSTV pictures. Most SSTV software allows for both sending and receiving SSTV signals, with the ability to auto-detect which mode is being received. A Radio/PC interface [[1]] is required.

Software for Digital SSTV

Digital SSTV software is based on Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) which is an open standard system for transmitting digital signals.

  • QSSTV for Linux users. This is a relatively new program. The source code is available under the GNU license.

Software for Mac

Software for Windows/DOS

  • ChromaPix. Version 1.6 available. Review of this software can be found here
  • JVComm. Development seems to have stalled on this program, but it is available from the link.
  • MMSSTV for windows computers. A versatile and easy to use program. It can handle all the common modes, but users have access to a number of lesser used modes such as MP73-N which is allowing amateurs to use sstv on the 30m band where previously it was restricted by band definitions.
  • MScan SSTV. MScan Meteo also available from this website.

SSTV over internet

Interace by Martin Emerson G3OQD is available in version 1.8a. Interace uses Echolink as its transmission engine.
