Features |
Benefits |
| Cross layer error correlation and diagnostic capability | Diagnose problems anywhere in the network environment, whether that be transmission links (RF or IP layer) or content processing (TS layer). |
| High performance line rate Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) IP connectivity and integrated cross layer analysis | Diagnose of complex timing problems in video over IP and IPTV network equipment. |
| Wide range of DTV standards are supported | Analyze any Terrestrial, Cable, Satellite or Telco transport stream |
| CaptureVu™ technology together with PCR measurement and graphing capabilities | Analyze system events in real time or deferred time to debug intermittent or complex problems that other analyzers miss |
| Innovative program-centric user interface | Brings expert power to the novice user |
| Integrated cross layer fault analysis and logging | Reduces time to insight when troubleshooting and diagnosing problems |
| Real time (IP) and deferred time Transport Stream (TS) analysis | Analyze streams either received via the PC's Ethernet interface (TSCR) or stored on hard disk (TSCA) |
| Service Information scripting | Generate and analyze Transport Streams containing proprietary Service Information |
| H.264 Buffer Analysis, Multiplexing and ES Compliance Checking | Facilitate the transition to Next Generation video compression technology with a complete suite of tools for creation and analysis of transport streams |
| IP packet PCR interpolation | Create meaningful PCR timing measurements by masking the bursty arrival of Transport Stream packets due to package in Ethernet frames |
A Guide to MPEG Fundamentals and Protocol AnalysisMPEG is one of the most popular audio/video compression techniques because it is not just a single standard. Instead it is a range of standards suitable for different applications but based on similar principles. MPEG is an acronym for the Moving Picture Experts Group which was set up by the ISO (International Standards Organization) to work on compression. |
Solving Intermittent Transport Stream Problems with CaptureVu™ Technology Application NoteCaptureVu technology allows you to set an error break point on an incoming real time or stored MPEG transport stream. By setting specific conditions for CaptureVu technology you allow the analyzer to find intermittent problems for you, trigger a recording to memory, or stop analysis to allow you to drill down to the route cause of an issue quickly and efficiently. |
A Guide to IPTV: The Technologies, the Challenges and How to Test IPTVDespite the maturation of the enabling technologies, the deployment of IPTV services presents many technical implementation challenges. This Primer explores some of those challenges and how Test & Measurement equipment can be used to facilitate the design, rollout and management of IPTV networks and services. |
