StreamProbe is a full software solution for Video QoS & QoE 24/7 monitoring throughout the video delivery chain from the Studio, to the Head-End Contribution down to the Encoding & Packaging.
High density & scalable, hundreds of services can be monitored in parallel within a single appliance in a all-in-one or distributed architecture, with a centralized monitoring view – one single GUI.

StreamProbe offers a user friendly web GUI with a Live Thumbnail Mosaic view – at-a-glance overall view of the entire Service Quality for real-time supervision – and service dedicated technical views for drill down root cause analysis.

The monitoring information can be exported to generate Service Availability statistics and fault history reports. Real-time notifications can be sent out to 3rd party NMS systems or by email.

QoS - Service Availability & Integrity

  • Full MPEG-2 TS monitoring (SPTS/MPTS)
  • IP transport issues detection (RTP, FEC)
  • ETSI TR 101 290 compliancy (priority 1, 2, 3, MDI)
  • TS structure: PSI/SI, service(s), bitrates

QoE - Service Audio/Video Quality

  • Full content monitoring
  • Audio & Video defect detection: freeze, black screen, silence
  • Subtitles DVB and Teletext: decoding and display
  • Video display: thumbnails & video streaming

Live Thumbnail Mosaic Wall

  • All services view at-a-glance on a thumbnail wall, real-time update
  • Highly customisable per user: grouping, audio levels, subtitles, penalty box
  • Monitoring by exception: display only faulty services – penalty box
  • MacroService view: track Service Quality in several monitoring points throught the delivery chain
  • Live service streaming over low bandwidth links (service compression)

Recording

  • 24/7 compliancy recording
  • Proof recording on-error on fault detection
  • Schedule recordings at predefined date – event recording
  • Easy access to all recordings directly via the web GUI

Confidence monitoring - visual video check

  • Live service streaming over low bandwidth links (transcoding)
  • GUI display, with 3rd party dashboard integration/display capabilities

Control Access monitoring

  • Check the scrambling  information EMM/ECM: presence, repetition, bitrates
  • FTA <-> scrambled transition monitoring: transition timing alarms with detailed graphical display

Ad Insertion monitoring

  • Make sure the Ad Inserter receives and can use the triggers: triggers presence, integrity and timing
  • Prevent video defects on the Ad Inserted stream by checking the splice point quality/integrity: IDR frames, PTS accuracy
  • Make sure the triggers point the correct frame and prove the Ad Insertion: splice point thumbnails, frames analysis for automatic detection of change of scenery, video recording

System Integration & NBI

  • Configurable alarming thresholds: general, daily and weekly alarm profiles configurable per service
  • NMS integration: SNMPv2 support for alarm traps
  • Monitoring information available via an open API (HTTP/JSON API)
  • Service thumbnails & video streaming capability for 3rd party dashboard display
