SentrySentry is a comprehensive and scalable monitoringsolution that enables multichannel service providersto deliver services with optimum quality and toreduce operational expenditures. Sentry identifiesanomalies in the network at the IP and MPEGlayers, as well as in quality of experience (QoE),identifying issues including frozen video, tiling/macro-blocking, black screen and audio disruptionsor audio level issues, which represent the bulk oftrouble calls from subscribers. Sentry’s multi-threshold-based alerting capability enables a flexiblealert configuration. Sentry uses this approach foralerting, because it is effective in detecting problemsin their developing stages before a subscribersexperience is impacted. This capability, combinedwith detailed root-cause troubleshooting informationappended in the actual alert, allows engineers toresolve problems quickly and often before sub-scribers experience any quality deterioration oroutage.

Summary of MTS4SA Options

Transport Stream Compliance Analyzer (TSCA) The TSCA enables monitoring and interpretation of the contents of real-time or previously recordedor synthesized transport streams using the latestATSC, DVB, ISDB-S, ISDB-T, ISDB-Tb and MPEGstandards. The analyzer is optimized to quicklylocate and identify problems within a transportstream with minimum intervention. The TSCR is a real-time version of the TSCA analyzer operating on Transport Streams received throughthe PC's Ethernet port. The real-time analysis alsoincludes Cross Layer time-correlated IP and TSmeasurements, alarms and error logging togetherwith stream recording. A batch mode operationallows for inclusion in an automated test system.

MultiplexerUse the Multiplexer/Re-multiplexer/De-multiplexerapplication to create and modify multi-programTransport Streams with custom SI/PSI/PSIP information for DVB, ATSC, ISDB, and MPEG compliant Transport Streams. Video and audioElementary Streams may also be multiplexed into a Transport Stream.

T-STD Buffer AnalyzerDetermines adherence to the buffer model used bythe receiver which is signaled within the ElementaryStream itself. The T-STD method is based upon theDTS values within the PES header and can be usedfor any contained CODEC type. Additionally, certainvideo CODECs such as MPEG-2 and H.264/AVCmay signal buffer parameters within the ES. TheBuffer Analyzer verifies conformance of a stream to the T-STD model. (Refer to the MTS4EA for verification of the H.264/AVC HRD method).

Packetized Elementary Stream (PES) Analyzer The PES Analyzer analyzes the header associatedwith each PES packet, as it contains the decodeand presentation timestamps (DTS and PTS) for the contained Elementary Stream. Additionally it can verify conformance of the PES header contentsto the MPEG, DVB and ATSC standards.

MPEG-2 Elementary Stream (ES) AnalyzerAnalyzes and views the moving picture from within a PES stream and carry out a whole range of sophisticated tests on the lower layers of an elementary stream within a Transport Stream. Inaddition, it both analyses and displays a range ofextended media formats, including ATSC ClosedCaptions, DVB Subtitles and Teletext associatedwith video Elementary Streams.

Carousel AnalyzerAnalyses carousels compliant with MPEG-2 DSM-CC, DVB (including MHP), DTT (MHEG-5) or ARIB standards.
