Video Quality and Service Assurance
Video Network Quality Monitoring for Video Service Providers
Tektronix Sentry is a market leading Multi-stream Video over IP QoE Monitoring system. It has an unrivalled ability to analyze deep into the program level across hundreds of SD/HD streams. Sophisticated alerts and reporting identify problem streams that help to reduce operating expenses and subscriber churn. Tektronix RF Video Network Monitors are used in Satellite, Terrestrial and Cable TV networks to insure superior QoS and predict and identify problems before your viewers. Tektronix Cerify is quality control software for broadcasters, content providers and video service providers needing to test file-based video. Cerify provides exception-based technical compliance to enable the QC teams to focus only on the problem content and the subjective requirements.
Ensure the quality of the viewing experience for your subscribers, increase uptime and reduce operational expenditures.
Tektronix next generation monitoring solutions are more intelligent, robust and comprehensive than traditional monitoring solutions. An industry-best number of critical issues are detected (most often before subscribers experience them), detailed reports are generated for historical/trending analysis and our products offer scalability and an easy-to-use web interface.
RF & MPEG Monitoring of Satellite, Terrestrial and Cable TV networks
The RF & MPEG Series of products provide in-depth RF & Transport Stream monitoring and diagnostics with a range of RF network interfaces including ISDB-Tb, DVB-S/S2, DVB-T, ATSC 8-VSB and QAM A, B & C. Software additions allow Network Management System integration (VQNet) and Video and Audio Quality Analysis (VQS1000).
Automated quality control for file-based content
Quality Control (QC) of file-based video ingested from different sources, encoded at different bit rates / formats and utilizing different compression standards for SD/HD, VOD or IPTV delivery presents considerable challenges to QC teams.
Cerify is a fully automated system for verifying/checking file-based content prior to transmission, use or archiving. Solutions range from windows-based PC standalone workstations to enterprise-wide solutions that interface to 3rd party automation or asset management systems.
Cerify provides exception-based technical compliance to enable the QC teams to focus only on the problem content and the subjective requirements.
VQNet is a Tektronix Video Service Assurance Management System that supports Tektronix RF Video probes. It is software which runs on a central computer (user supplied) to monitor and report on the status of signals measured by distributed probes across a video distribution network.
