Telco Operators
Tektronix' Video test products help telco operators in three areas:
- Headend monitoring at a range of network access points like ingest, transport and access
- Field installation of Video over IP network elements (encoders and IP switches)
- Selecting and evaluating network infrastructure such as encoders

- Basic MPEG Overview / MPEG Made Easy
This introduction to MPEG covers Transport Streams, timing, and error types. Watch this webinar to learn about TR101-290 error types, and how it is giving way to ATSC Recommended Practice (A/78), a more meaningful measure of customer impacting events. - MPEG Timing and Synchronization Webinar
Whether your job is to design Encoders and Set Top Boxes (STBs), or to evaluate or integrate them, dealing effectively with timing concerns is essential. A Tektronix Buffer Analyzer can pinpoint the source of timing problems, and our webinar covering Program Clock Reference (PCR) issues and more explains timing principles and their impact on video quality. - Video over IP QoS (Network Monitoring of MPEG over a IP Transport) Webinar
This presentation on monitoring MPEG Transport Streams over IP networks describes test methodology used to ensure superior Quality of Service (QoS) in video.
