IPM400A DTV Monitor
The MTM400A DTV Monitor provides a complete solution for multilayer,
multichannel, remote monitoring to DVB, ATSC, DCII, and ISDB-T/Tb
standards with content-checking support for MPEG-2 and H.264/AVC.
Optional RF measurement interfaces provide a powerful and cost-effective
solution for monitoring DVB-T transmitter sites or DVB-S/S2 uplinks and
downlinks. An in-depth, real-time MPEG analysis option allows diagnostics
to be performed on live broadcast signals without having to use deferred-time
analysis of captured streams.
Refer to the MTM400A DTV Monitor Quick Start U ser Manual, Tektronix
part number 071-2492-XX.
The IPM400A DTV Monitor is a powerful solution for remote monitoring
of IP video national and regional headends. The IPM400A simultaneously
verifies both IP and TS integrity on all IP Video flows (sessions) on a GbE
link. It is ideal for monitoring networks which carry both Mul
Transport Streams (MPTS) or Single-Program Transport Streams (SPTS),
at either constant bit rate (CBR) or variable bit rate (VBR). An in-depth,
real-time MPEG analysis option allows diagnostics to be performed on live
payload without having to use deferred-time analysis of captured streams.

VQS1000 Video Quality
Software
VQS1000 is a Video Quality Software application for single ended objective
QoE analysis of video and audio content. It is designed for use with all
current Tektronix IP Video and DTV Monitor probes using private backhaul
video and audio and audio. It can also be used standalone for file analysis.
Combined with physical transport alarms from the Tektronix probes, operators
can determine if the source of a problem is in the content (for example,
over-compression) or in network distribution layers.

Product Description
The Tektronix RFM220 ISDB-Tb Measurement Demodulator provides the
means to measure and monitor signal performance for signals conforming to
the Brazilian and Japanese ISDB-Tb terrestrial Digital TV standard.
The RFM 220 demodulator can measure MER in real time, commonly
considered a key figure for qualifying a transmitting system. The input to the
RFM220 demodulator can be an RF signal or an ASI stream. The software
interface displays measurement traces, signal spectrum, and constellation
and lets you configure and control the instrument using a local or remote
Ethernet connection.
Installed at a tran
monitor in real-time the essential signal performance figures such as input
level, MER, shoulder levels, and error rate ratio. The ASI output on the
RFM220 demodulator can output either the ASI input signal or the RF
demodulated signal to feed an external video/audio decoder or a transport
stream analyzer such as the Tektronix MTS400A MPEG Test System.
The RFM220 demodulator can be used as a standalone RF monitoring solution
or used in conjunction with a Tektronix MTM400A DTV monitor to provide
combined R
DTV M onitor.)

System Overview
The following illustration shows the block diagram of the RFM220 system,
which consists of the following components: RFM220 instrument, RFM220
Aggregator application, and RFM220 Client application.
The RFM220 instrument(s) that will be monitored and the PCs running the
RFM220 Client application must be connected to the same Ethernet network
as the PC or server running the
The RFM220 system can be used as a standalone RF monitoring solution or
used in conjunction with a Tektronix MTM400A DTV monitor to provide
combined RF and TS monitoring.
RFM220 Aggregator application.
Figure 2: RFM220 system block diagram
RFM220 instrument. The RFM220 instrument is the hardware component
of the system. ASI and RF signals that are connected to the instrument are
monitored remotely by the RFM220 Aggregator. SNMP traps are sent to
the RFM220 Aggregator when signal measurements exceed the user-defined
limits, which are set using the RFM220 Client.
An individual RFM220 instrument can be monitored by only one
RFM220 Aggregator at a time. Multiple RFM220 Clients can view the
monitoring data for a single RFM220 instrument at a time by connecting to
the RFM220 Aggregator that is monitoring the instrument.

RFM220 Aggregator applicaton. The RFM220 Aggregator application collects
and stores data from RFM220 instruments and makes the data available to
RFM220 Clients that connect to the Aggregator.
The RFM220 Aggregator can reside on a PC or on a network server. The
typical RFM220 system installation will have the RFM220 Aggregator
installedonanetworkserver
RFM220 Client application installed.
The RFM220 Aggregator can be configured to collect data from up to ten
RFM220 instruments at a time. Only one RFM220 Aggregator should connect
to an individual RFM220 instrument at a time. M ultiple RFM220 Clients can
connect to the RFM220 Aggregator at a time.
The RFM220 Aggregator configuration can be changed using the
Configuration.xml file, which controls communications between the RFM220
system components (instrument, Aggregator, Client). The file can be updated
dynamically, meaning that it can be updated while the RFM220 Aggregator is
running.
RFM220 Client application. The RFM220 Client application allows the user to
view the monitoring data collected by t he R FM220 Aggregator application.

The data available for viewing includes event logs, metrics of signal
parameters, device information such as the firmware version installed
in the RFM220 instrument, and various graphs. You can view the data
from any RFM220 instrument that the RFM220 Aggregator is m onitoring.
Multiple RFM220 Clients can be connected at the same time to a single
RFM220 Aggregator.
MTM400A DTV Monitor (TS monitoring). All RF-related monitoring of the
input signal is performed by the RFM220 system. If you also want to perform
TS-related monitoring of the input signal, you can route the output signal from
RFM220 instrument to a TS analyzer such as the Tektronix MTM400A
the
DTV Monitor. (See page 75, Connecting to an MTM400A DTV Monitor.)
RFM220 Device Setup utility. The RFM220 Aggregator software includes the
RFM220 Device Setup utility. This utility allows the administrator of the
RFM220 system to connect to a RFM220 instrument to perform the following
tasks:
View and change the network settings
View and change the secondary trap address and port number (for use
with an NMS system)
Restart the instrument
Reset the instrument settings back to the default values
Upgrade the instrument firmware
View the type of instrument and the installed hardware and firmware
versions
