Pixelmetrix will exhibit its latest array of IPTV service validation tools at TelcoTV 2006. Highlights include the DVStorIP-Gen for IPTV Stress Testing and DVStation-IP for IPTV Quality of Service monitoring.
TelcoTV starts today and will run for three days in Dallas, Texas.
The DVStorIP-Gen is a high-performance, cost-effective tool for the evaluation, compliance testing and verification of networks, monitoring and equipment analysis. It supports SPTS and MPTS generation, including UDP and RTP streaming. Each generated transport stream can be forwarded to up to 100 target IP destinations, identified by the IP address and port number. The DVStor can also generate up to seven unique transport streams simultaneously, and up to 900Mbps of IPTV traffic, making it an efficient solution for IPTV broadcasters as well as test and monitoring equipment and network providers. With the DVStorIP-Gen, operators can observe error-free streaming through the restamping of continuity count and insertion of PCR discontinuity flag during transport stream loopback.
The DVStation-IP is a sleek, feature-rich system that provides MPEG-2 transport stream analysis and monitoring over an IP connection via a 10, 100 and 1000Mbps Ethernet port. It offers remote control and automation platform - ideal for operators requiring the transmission of video and data over Internet or other IP networks. Live Video Display that allows visual confirmation of program content presence, Service View that spans multiple TS, displays MPEG-2 and H.264 video thumbnails, critical TS and audio/video parameters in a concise format, as well as IP input payload capability of up to 500Mbps are some of its key features. A combination of real-time signal measurements and user-configurable alarm thresholds are also integrated.
Danny Wilson, President and CEO of Pixelmetrix Corporation shared, "Our portfolio of end-to-end IPTV test and monitoring systems serves to facilitate the efficacy of 'always on' converged IP network architectures and the ever-expanding multitude of services including real-time VoD, PPV, IPG, N-PVR and so on. In line with the rapid emergence and deployment of IPTV systems, Pixelmetrix performance devices offer broadcasters, cable and satellite operators, content and network providers a distinct edge in optimizing their IPTV service delivery."
