Tektronix MTM400
MPEG Monitor
Description
Key Points
Multi layer, multi channel, remote monitoring and measurement at IP, RF, and Transport layers to DVB (TR 101 290), ATSC, DigiCipher® II (DCII), and ISDB-T (Terrestrial and Mobile) standards
Gigabit Ethernet Interface*1 allows monitoring and measurement of key IP parameters. Designed for monitoring networks which carry Multi Program Transport Streams (MPTS) or Single Program Transport Streams (SPTS) over Gigabit Ethernet networks. MTM400 Opt GE provides:
Simultaneous monitoring of both IP and MPEG layers to enable rapid fault isolation
Comprehensive confidence monitoring of video over IP with optional Gigabit Ethernet electrical and optical interfaces, IP Protocol support including UDP, RTP, with Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP), Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) & Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP Remote ping)
Comprehensive confidence monitoring at the RF modulated layer with optional COFDM, 8VSB, Turbo 8PSK, QPSK (L Band), and QAM Interface MER, BER, and Constellation Displays
Critical RF Measurements, MER, and EVM provide early indication of signal degradation before any picture impairment is visible to the end customer without additional costly RF test equipment (MER up to 37 dB typical)
MTM400 with IP or RF interface can switch between IP or RF monitoring and transport stream monitoring within the one probe
DPI (SCTE-35) Local content insertion monitoring
DigiCipher® II (DCII) Protocol support
User-defined template monitoring option to ensure right content at the right place at the right time while content ratings checking ensures only appropriate content broadcast
Remote recording allows capture and analysis of stream events for expert offline analysis to diagnose difficult and intermittent problems, requiring no engineer site visits
Scalable, upgradeable monitoring capability provides extended confidence monitoring, where you buy the capability you need when you need it
In field upgrades minimizes upgrade time
Simple user interface minimizes staff familiarization time
