DVStation-Pod is a one port tool ideal for the
commissioning and installation of new systems. Models are available
for ASI/SPI/SMPTE-310, QPSK, ATM, and COFDM. Light and portable,
the product provides maximum visibility of RF, transport stream,
and content troubleshooting.
Transport Stream Analysis
DVStation-Pod monitors an MPEG-2 transport stream and the Program
Specific Information (PSI) contained within it. Bandwidth usage
of each PID is listed by its service name for easier monitoring.
Whether you are viewing by bar chart, pie chart or the time dimension,
the service names are presented on the side so you can rectally
more quickly when an error has occurred. The user-friendly interface
enables you to sort the display by service name, type (video/audio/data)
or bandwidth usage and also allows you to zoom in and out to examine
the bandwidth usage more closely.
Transport Stream Capture
DVStation-Pod allows you to capture up to 96MB of the transport
stream. Flexible pre- and post-event triggering allows you to specify
what data to capture: before the event, after the event, or somewhere
in between. Once the transport stream is captured, you can use the
user-friendly interface to export it for analysis later.
Signal Analysis
RF models of the DVStation-Pod can monitor RF carrier frequency/level,
Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), Bit Error Ratio (BER), Error Vector
Magnitude (EVM), Modulation Error Ratio (MER) as well as Reed-Solomon
uncorrected block counts. The RF modulation constellation is also
shown in real-time. Impairment detection and problem isolation of
transport protocol, and RF signal performance are very helpful for
troubleshooting. Additionally, the COFDM model for DVB-T network
analysis provides powerful and convenient RF Spectral Power and
unique Carrier Confidence displays. The ATM model of the DVStation-Pod
accepts an optical input and detects errors in the SONET/SDH physical
layer. Using either AAL-1 or AAL-5, the MPEG transport stream is
extracted in real-time from a user-specified VP/VC for transport
and content monitoring.
