Set-Top Box (STB) Design and Manufacturing
Today’s Set Top Boxes (STBs) can incorporate a wide variety of technologies in addition to SDI video and multichannel surround sound audio. Expertise in the RF domain and the IP domain might be required to optimize a design.
A designers ability to quickly determine if a video error has occurred due to an IP anomaly or a decode error will be critical to efficient analysis and debug of problems that can be difficult to pinpoint. Cross layer correlation, CaptureVu™ and automated measurement sets are all powerful tools that can help you reduce your time to insight, improve your time to market and increase efficiency.
