The 4th generation StreamScope™ product line targeted for DTV networks enables efficient stream quality monitoring, analysis and troubleshooting on an enterprise-wide scale. Indispensable in the station or any network location, rack-mountable and portable models are available with ASI, VSB, SMPTE 310, QAM, 8VSB, QPSK and Gigabit Ethernet input support. The new StreamScope products work together to enable cost-effective deployment across a broadcast operation, whether on a local, regional, or national scale, and the systems have open interfaces to enable easy integration with third party products. The use of standard formats for capturing of recorded streams helps achieve this high-level of third party integration support. Innovative elements of the new StreamScope architecture include a rule-based monitoring system and associated rule creation tools, the Business Intent Assurance™ feature and stream transformation monitoring.

The StreamScope™ RM-40 is a low cost stream monitoring appliance. The real-time RM-40 remotely monitors, measures, records, and analyzes DTV streams to ensure their integrity, reliability, and compliance with standards. The RM-40 can be monitored from any SNMP agent in the network and alarms can be distributed via email, SMS, or SNMP traps. In addition, interfaces to GuideBuilder™ metadata management systems and the Business Intent Assurance feature validate that the streams are well formed from a standards perspective, and automatically ensure that the streams comply with the business model of the operation. Other RM-40 innovations include stream profiling and comparison and template learning. The small form factor unit is virtually maintenance free and may be placed anywhere in the broadcast network including repeater stations where there may be no on-site staff.

The StreamScope™ MT-40 provides end-to-end, MPEG-2/MPEG-4 transport stream monitoring and analysis for DTV signals carried by broadcast, cable, satellite, IPTV, or mobile networks. Key features include QPSK, 64/256 QAM, ASI and GigE, plus file inputs, remote monitoring capabilities, and IP routes analysis.
