DVB-T/T2 Advanced Monitoring Probe for HDc
HDmE DVB-T/T2
The ideal tool for accurate & cost-effective monitoring of the quality actually delivered to all points of DVB-T and DVB-T2 networks.
Applications
- 24/7 Monitoring and Maintenance of both Head-End and TX sites (SFN/MFN, RF/Baseband)
- Generation of Service Availability reports for Service Level Agreements
- Rebroadcasting receiver: RF to ASI or IP, with transcoding capacities
- Live transmission recorder
Benefits
- Standalone, easy to use and configure, fast deployment, SNMP compatible
- Increase customer satisfaction by detecting & preventing DTV network degradations before your customers do
- Reduce TX sites maintenance cost by anticipating and identifying issues
- Plan and improve the network configuration by identifying global trends
- Remotely accessible, compatible with low bandwidth control networks (GPRS/3G)
- Low power consumption 20W
- Compatible for High Density Chassis: 6 monitoring probes in 1RU
Combined with a Network Monitoring System or not, the EdgeProbe Advanced provides a powerful broadcast network alert & diagnosis tool allowing DTV network operators to monitor global trends and anticipate potential failures.
EdgeProbe Advanced is able to monitor DVB-T and DVB-T2 signals at transmitter outputs, through its RF inputs (up to 6 in 1RU), as well as at modulator input and at Head-End/distribution links, through its ASI and IP inputs.
