"*" indicates required fields
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
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 ISDB-T and ISDB-Tb signals at transmitter outputs, through its RF inputs (up to 4 in 1RU), as well as at modulator input and at Head-End/distribution links, through its ASI and IP inputs.

Transcoding solution for confidence monitoring:
Coupled with a TRANSBOX device, EdgeProbe can provide service transcoding and forward to third-party analysis systems
Controlled by the EdgeProbe, the TRANSBOX performs:
– service extraction from the input TS (SPTS or MPTS)
– real-time audio/video transcoding: 1 to 10 Mbps output bitrate
– transcoded SPTS forward over IP Data

Alarm logs up to 6 months
RF parameter trends up to 6 months
TS recording (manual trigger)
Internal GNSS receiver (Hardware option)
Generates an internal 1PPS reference signal for SFN synchronization measurements (SFN Drift, Frequency Offset)
GPS & GLONASS support
Dual Power Supply (Hardware option):
additional Power Supply can be installed on the equipment in order to ensure the power redundancy
Remote connection
Compatible with all Network Monitoring Systems, providing a powerful network alert & diagnosis tool: monitor global trends and anticipate potential failures.
