Pixelmetrix (
News -
Alert) is exhibiting the comprehensive range of its quality assurance solutions in an IP-centric cable operation, featuring the new DVProbe-C, at the ANGA Cable Show in Germany this week. Pixelmetrix is a leader in preventive monitoring for digital television and IPTV
networks.
A preventive monitoring and operational debugging tool, DVProbe-C is robust enough to be used in a modern EdgeQAM-based distribution plant. The DVProbe-C links directly to the QAM RF cable network and uses the transport stream analysis technology of Pixelmetrix DVStation.
“We are delighted to announce that a very large German cable operator is among the first customers to deploy the DVProbe-C throughout their network. With IP-based distribution and flexible EdgeQAM devices, the intelligence in the modern cable distribution architecture moves out from the headend into the network. This trend forces cable operators to rethink their quality assurance strategy. They need to deploy intelligent monitoring probes throughout the network. Cost is a critical factor. The new DVProbe-C from Pixelmetrix addresses these new requirements at the lowest cost possible,” said Reto Brader, general manager, EMEA.
DVProbe-C is packaged as a 1RU rack-mount system with power, network and RF input connections all on the back of the unit. This makes it ideal for applications where space is a factor. Designed after open standards, the DVProbe-C is a future-proof system that can evolve with the network as digital cable systems move towards technologies like Switched Digital Video (SDV).
The ANGA Cable Show 2008 is going to be organized from May 27-29, in Cologne, Germany.
