Product Features

■ Monitors Serial Transport streams at any point, or multiple points, ahead of the transmitter.

■ Monitors stream related parameters of the Modulator and Transmitter.

■ Monitors the transmitter RF output, TS and decoded audio/video.

■ Records the raw Transport Stream correlated with fault condition(s) for quick and efficient root cause analysis in the lab.

■ Optional single IP for SNMP integration with existing NMS systems.

■ Single site or aggregation of multiple sites.

Product Benefits

■ Media service impairment detection – fully automated solution monitoring quality of media service as it’s experienced by subscribers; audio and visual quality, signal and stream degradation monitoring in Analog or DTV transmission.

■ Isolation of system level issues – QoS/QoE metrics monitoring from multiple inputs and layers for remote and on-site investigation, impact analysis, troubleshooting, trending, capture and root cause analysis.

■ Regulatory and contractual compliance – SLA conformance monitoring, loudness control and compliance recording. Profile all system parameters when commissioning new site, equipment upgrade, or system extension.
