With digital television (DTV), broadcasters and MSOs are constructing increasingly complex systems for the production and distribution of programming. The StreamScope™ RM-40 to address the industry’s need for a low cost, remote monitoring appliance. RM-40 units placed at various points throughout a broadcast operation validate critical transformations of DTV streams as they move through the equipment chain or from one site to another for distribution. This accelerates the isolation and repair of problems when they occur. The RM-40 is a real-time low cost stream monitoring appliance. Remotely monitors, measures, and records DTV streams to ensure their integrity, reliability and compliance with standards. The RM-40 perfectly complements the MT-40 in a distributed network architecture. A wide variety of equipment plays a part in the modification and transport of content throughout the plant. Assuring that the program streams created are valid and troubleshooting any anomalies rapidly across the enterprise are critical for maintaining network integrity and viewer satisfaction. Consequently, Triveni Digital’s popular StreamScope monitoring lineup has been markedly enhanced to encompass a broad range of options for enterprise-wide stream monitoring and troubleshooting. The user-friendly RM-40 system verifies DTV streams carried by service providers such as broadcasters, cable operators, telcos, IPTV and mobile TV operators. Like all other StreamScope systems, the RM-40 remotely monitors, measures and records DTV streams to ensure their integrity, reliability, and compliance with standards as well as business expectations. The system supports the use of web browsers for remote access and system configuration. The RM-40 can be monitored from any SNMP agent in the network and alarms can be distributed via email, SMS, or SNMP traps. The small form factor unit is virtually maintenance free and may be placed anywhere in the broadcast network including repeater stations where there may be no on-site staff.
