Introducing DVProbe-S2

The Pixelmetrix DVProbe-S2 monitoring probe is a compact and affordable multi-standard solution for the monitoring of digital satellite transmission. It supports DVB-S2, DVB-DSNG and DVB-S modulations.

The device connects directly to the DVB-S2 RF network at either the uplink or downlink point for monitoring both RF and Transport Stream parameters. Packaged as a 1RU rack-mount system with power, network and RF input connections all on the back of the unit, it integrates easily even into space conscious environments.

The system performs multi-standard signal demodulation and a comprehensive suite of continuous RF, modulation, transport stream and content validation tests.
