RF and MPEG Digital TV Monitor, unit with options:
DIAG = Deep-dive MPEG Diagnostic Analysis; and
EP = Turbo 8PSK/QPSK Interface.
The Tektronix MTM400A is a Digital TV Monitor and provides a complete solution
for real-time transmission monitoring of MPEG transport streams over RF and ASI interfaces, offers superior QoS level and is ideal for broadcasters, cable, satellite, and telecommunication operators.
Multilayer, multichannel, remote monitoring and measurement at RF and TS layers to DVB, ATSC, DCII, and ISDB-T/Tb standards with content-checking support for both MPEG-2 and H.264/AVC
Displays key RF monitoring parameters for DVB-T and DVB-S/S2 interfaces to provide early indication of signal degradation before any picture impairment is visible to the end customer (Note: In DVB-S2 mode only Transport Stream inputs are supported)
No additional analysis software is needed; all confidence and diagnostic analysis is carried out from the MTM400A alone
When used in conjunction with the VQS1000 Video Quality Software application, provides reliable and sophisticated analysis algorithms applied to decoded MPEG-2 or H.264 video to identify stuck, black, macro blocking, and compression artifacts
Applications:
Contribution and primary distribution:
Terrestrial distribution
Cable headend monitoring
DTH or network operator satellite uplink monitoring
IPTV ingest and headend monitoring
