Measuring equipment for IPTV, DVB, and Hybrid Networks

VB280 is a content extractor (to extract the service data and decode the video in MPEG-2/MPEG-4 format, with detection of scrambling and frozen frames). VB280 enables extraction of meta-data, simultaneous viewing of up to 100 TV channels in thumbnail mode, and visual monitoring (both on control equipment and in web-browser window).

VB20 is a powerful portable platform for measurement and monitoring of broadcast networks (specifically built for monitoring of IP networks with L3 routing and IP/MPLS). VB20 is provided with wide range of interfaces: ASI IN, electrical and optical GigE ports, control port FastEthernet. At simultaneous analysis of up to 180 streams, full display of T101290 errors, enhanced case, and absence of fans, VB20 is ideal as portable tool for network troubleshooting. To monitor the video streams, VB20 is provided with support of MPEG-2 TS, MFRTP, and all the latest codecs. Function of detecting the multicasts in different VLAN will be useful for analysis of traffic at network mains

Monitoring of such critical parameters as MDI (RFC4445) and jitter enables the forming of clear idea on network performance. Use of patented technology MediaWindow enables the access to log data and visual representation of processes occurring in the network. Methods of VB12 application (as remotely controlled device) can be different. Among those methods is record of traffic stream to own memory – by fact of error or alarm message. Access to recorded data can be direct (via built-in Web interface) or via centralized control system. EII technology, support of multiple SNMP traps servers, and export of data to XML format allow the integration of IP-probe with third-party systems.

microVB™ is a system consisting of portable analyzers and data collection server.
