Digital TV network monitoring

Program providers and network operators place considerable importance on error-free generation of digital TV signals and their correct distribution and transmission in networks, not least because of contractual obligations towards their business partners. Monitoring institutions, on the other hand, handle different tasks. For example, they check compliance with relevant standards, including whether the coverage in a specific transmission area is adequate or if a specific program set is correctly broadcast.

There is a wide variety of monitoring objectives, including:

• Prevention of serious interference by intervening promptly whenever minor changes to signals or in the system are discovered
• Immediate and efficient troubleshooting by quickly detecting and locating signal failures or signal errors and determining their causes
• Recording signal characteristics and system availability for subsequent analysis or demonstration purposes for contracting partners
• Enhanced quality of service by detecting and remedying even sporadic errors

R&S®DVMS from Rohde & Schwarz offers a solution to address all these challenges.

Multiviewers for content distribution

In areas of real time media, particularly in the distribution of live or time sensitive content it’s important to have human viewing and verification of content in high quality and in close relation to real time. R&S®PRISMON multiviewer solutions offer an answer where new IT networks are required to display low latency uncompressed SMPTE 2110 streams, while at the same time viewing OTT ABR encoded distribution streams of the same or other programs.
