Many cost-conscious customers would prefer to avoid expensive forklift upgrades before embracing new technology. Now, TSP120 allows Pixelmetrix customers to keep the existing monitoring in place by making the upgrade easy and effortless. You can access the dramatic new features of TSP120 without rebooting the system. Simply plug in the TSP120 card and you’re up and running.

Pixelmetrix TSP120 is the ideal solution for satellite operators. It allows in-depth transport stream monitoring for high bit-rate transponders, complete with extensive SI/PSI information analysis for unsurpassed visibility into the TV broadcast structure.

A notable key feature of the TSP120 is complete TS analysis supporting video services with MPEG-2 and H.264 – including High Profile 4:2:2. In addition, the TSP120 offers verification of SLA commitments.

Providing the highest port density monitoring solution with the Pixelmetrix DVStation-210, the TSP120 also features an internal 3-input ASI router. One ASI input is active at a time with the option to sequentially monitor all three ASI inputs automatically.

Content streaming at full broadcast quality is another enhancement, enabling video backhaul using the Forward port on the TSP120/REM-TSP120 for quality verification. Augmenting the video streaming function from the management port, the TSP120 has an on-board RJ-45 connector to stream video to a dedicated media network. Thus, keeping high bitrate video traffic off of your management network and avoiding congestion.

Furthermore, alarm thresholds can be set for measurements including bandwidth of individual PIDs, packet interval, PCR jitter, TR101-290 tests, and incorrect content, subtitles, services. Any broadcast that deviates from your expectations will prompt a monitoring system alert.

With a number of enhancements, the TSP120 makes transport stream monitoring and analysis more comprehensive than ever before for satellite operators and content providers. For complete visibility into the broadcast workflow, just plug in the TSP120.
