The monitors use a single transport s tream processor platform packaged in a 1
RU rackmount chassis to provide monitoring of a transport stream at data rates
up to 155 Mbps.

The MTM400A monitor provides extended confidence monitoring, which, with
the addition of software options, provides comprehensive diagnostic monitoring
capabilities. The extended confidence monitor provides key MPEG tests;
this basic level of functionality and low cost enables widespread deployment
hout a transmission network, facilitating rapid fault isolation. The
throug
diagnostic monitoring options provide more in-depth analysis of the MPEG
transport stream, including recording capability, PSI/SI/PSIP/ARIB analysis, and
unique user-defined template tests to ensure the right content in the right place at
the right time. Deployed at key network nodes, the MTM400A monitor enables
the cause of faults to be pinpointed and solved.
The IPM400A is a powerful solution for monitoring IPTV national and regional
headends at both the ingest and IP broadcast point using a single IPTV interface
card.
The RFM300 provides a complete solution for real-time DTV monitoring of
MPEG transport streams to ATSC standards using an 8VSB RF interface. The
comprehensive RF and PSIP confidence-monitoring capability provides a
powerful and cost-effective solution for monitoring DTV transmitter sites along
with contribution and distribution feeds at local and national operation centers
for FCC compliance.
The standard accessories for each product and the options available are listed in the
product options and upgrades section of the associated quick start user manuals.

ISDB and ATSC environments. DTV monitors are designed to
The basic DT
V monitor provides confidence monitoring by making key
measurements and comparing them with prese t parameters; inconsistencies can
be reported as varying levels of error. Integrated flexibility allows the software
to be upgraded with diagnostic capabilities and to supply detailed information to
enable fault identification and analysis. Unencrypted MPEG-2 video content can
be monitored using the thumbnail feature.
The user interface is accessed through a Remote User Interface (RUI). The RUI
allows the status of the DTV monitor to be determined from anywhere in the
world an

administrator. The RUI is accessed through Microsoft Internet Explorer (Version
6 SP 1 minimum).
