AD952-IIR • AD952-IIM

Features & Benefits

Recording and Seamless Playback Combined With In-depth Deferred Time Analysis You Can Use to Fully Characterize Your Product or System Design (AD952-IIR)
Real Time and Deferred Analysis for Monitoring and Design Performance Problem Diagnosis (AD952-IIM)
In-depth Deferred Analysis of Transport Stream, Packetized Elementary Stream and Buffer Performance
Comprehensive Checking of MPEG-2, DVB, ATSC and ISDB Transport Streams

Applications

The AD952-II family of stream analyzers provides in-depth deferred analysis and comprehensive checking of MPEG-2, DVB, ATSC and ISDB transport streams. The analyzers fully support Tektronix scripting system, which enables the user to specify additional analysis functionality for use with proprietary systems.

The AD952-IIR Stream Analyzer/Recorder combines deferred time analysis with the recorder/player application to provide recording and seamless playback of streams at data rates up to 90 Mb/s.

The AD952-IIM Stream Analyzer/Monitor offers both real time and deferred time analysis combined with triggered or manual recording of streams.
