Tektronix MTS430
MPEG System
Description
Key Points
Industry’s fastest analysis engine enables reduced time-to-insight, rapid development, evaluation, deployment, and diagnostics of next-generation DTV and IPTV systems and services
A wide range of DTV standards are supported, including MPEG, DVB, ATSC, ISDB, and ISDB-TB (Brazil). Specific SI for Terrestrial, Cable, and Satellite, plus regional variations of these standards are also supported
Range of interfaces and analysis capabilities provide the necessary connectivity to diagnose problems anywhere in the network environment, whether that be transmission links (RF or IP layer) or content processing (TS layer)
Connect to both IP version 4 and 6 networks, including those using IGMP and MLD multicast protocols respectively
Analyze both constant and variable bit rate streams (CBR and VBR)*1
Integrated cross-layer fault analysis and logging provides one box solution for fault diagnosis, reducing time to insight when troubleshooting
Playout functionality provides stimulus with parametric capabilities and IP multisession replication to characterize behavior of network or device under test
CaptureVu™ technology captures and analyzes system events in real time and deferred time to debug the intermittent and complex problems that traditional analyzers miss
Innovative program-centric user interface brings expert power to the novice user
H.264 Buffer Analysis, Multiplexing, and ES Compliance Checking provide the most powerful suite of tools for creation and analysis of Transport Streams containing H.264 content
Both Buffer Analysis and Multiplexing are now available for MPEG-4 AAC, a mandatory ISDB-TB audio CODEC. These compliment the existing MPEG-4 AAC ES Compliance Checking
