24/7 MONITORING

EDGEPROBE ADVANCED DVB-C/C2

RF & IP 24/7 Monitoring Probe

THE IDEAL TOOL FOR ACCURATE & COST-EFFECTIVE MONITORING OF THE QUALITY
ACTUALLY DELIVERED TO ALL POINTS OF DVB-C QAM NETWORKS.

The ideal tool for accurate & cost-effective monitoring of the quality actually delivered to all points of DVB-C QAM networks.
Combined with a Network Monitoring System or not, the EdgeProbe Advanced provides a powerful broadcast network alert & diagnosis tool allowing DTV network operators to monitor global
trends and anticipate potential failures.
EdgeProbe Advanced is able to monitor DVB-C QAM signals at transmitter outputs, through its RF inputs (up to 4 in 1RU), as well as at modulator input and at Head-End/distribution links,
through its ASI and IP inputs.

APPLICATIONS BENEFITS
24/7 Monitoring and Maintenance of both Head-End and TX sites (RF/Baseband) Standalone, easy to use and configure, fast deployment, SNMP compatible
Generation of Service Availability reports for Service Level Agreements Increase customer satisfaction by detecting & preventing Cable network degradations before your customers do
Rebroadcasting receiver: RF to ASI or IP, with transcoding capacities Reduce TX sites maintenance cost by anticipating and identifying issues
Live transmission recorder (automatic & schedules) Plan and improve the network configuration by identifying global trends
Remotely accessible, compatible with low bandwidth control networks (GPRS/3G)
Low power consumption 20W

RF monitoring TX output Baseband monitoring and forwarding over ASI/IP interfaces

Signal Level, MER, BER Monitor TS baseband distribution links at Head-End output and TX site input through the ASI and IP inputs (up to 4 in
1RU)
Modulation parameters, constellation display
Forward the analyzed TS over ASI or IP output
DVB-C annex A, B, C
VLAN support on the IP Data link
Up to 4x RF inputs in 1RU

Complete MPEG-2 TS Monitoring Reports & TS recordings storage

ETSI TR 101 290 Priority 1, 2, 3 Alarm logs up to 6 months, CSV files

QoS indicators (optional): Service Availability Error & Service Degradation Error RF parameter trends up to 6 months, CSV files

Verify Regionalization: Service Plan view, PID/Service presence, Scrambling TS recording with manual, automatic (alarm trigger, third party NMS – SNMP commands), or scheduled control

Service & components bitrates, PSI/SI tables 32 GB of internal storage (up to 4 in 1RU)

Video Thumbnails display

Dual Power Supply (Hardware option) NBI & remote connection

One additional Power Supply can be installed on the equipment in order to ensure the power redundancy Compatible with all Network Monitoring Systems, providing a powerful network alert & diagnosis tool: monitor global
trends and anticipate potential failures.

Compatible SNMP v2c and v2c INFORM for alarming and device configuration

Web GUI access: support of low bandwidth Internet connection (3G, GPRS)
