What is SMART DVB Pro Pro ?

▪ SMART DVB Pro monitors, analyzes and visualizes live MPEG transport streams containing compressed content.

▪ Primarily targeted at distribution.▪ End-to-end delivery to subscribers

▪ Delivery to re-distribution networks (e.g. satellite to cable-operators) (primary distribution)

▪ Transport streams containing the full DVB signaling (Conditional Access/EPG (Electronic Program Guide)/Tuning information/Service information)

▪ Contribution links can also be monitored

▪ Typically less signaling

▪ Can decode MPEG2 4:2:0 and 4:2:2, AVC 4:2:0

▪ Can monitor bitrates etc. on TS containing JPEG2K

▪ Centralized use case in Network Operations Centre [NOC] (Multi-viewer) or de-central (Probe).

▪ Use cases can be mixed, aggregation, configuration and reporting suite available

Satellite operators• Head-end monitoring, downlink monitoring

Cable operators• Head-end and edge monitoring

DTT operators• Head-end and edge monitoring• SFN parameters • Region overlap, critical SI info

IPTV operators• Head-end and edge monitoring

Context and market

▪ Broadcasters▪ E2E delivery chain monitoring
