DVBInspektor
DVBinspektor is a tool that makes it possible to analyse in real-time multiple MPEG2-TS streams. Thanks to that the administrator has a continous view of the situation and is being provided with detailed charts, reports and tables. It also automatically warns the user about potential problems.
When a digital headend is handling streams from many different sources using hardware from different vendors, a natural need of continous monitoring arises. There are cases when the headend hardware is not ideal and starts to work incorrectly or even hangs. Sometimes content providers change some important parameters of a transport stream without informing anyone. Packet losses and other problems also occure.
Problems occuring at the digital headend affect the customer's satisfaction directly. A subscriber-caring operator needs to detect problems as soon as possible in order to begin diagnostics and solve trouble long before the customers complain.
We are pleased to introduce a complete solution for continuous monitoring of all MPEG-TS streams tramsmitted in a digital headend. The idea of our software is to simultaneously analyse MPEG streams from many sources and to correlate all information in one place in case of a failure.
Benefits
Lower price- High efficiency (one server can handle up to 3 Gbit/s of traffic)
- We can install it on your own server
- Browser-based managment interface
- A simple and clean GUI
- Advanced reports and charts
- Full data archives
- Automatic alerts in case of an error/failure
Features
- Simultaneous, realtime analysis of many MPEG-TS streams.
- Handles streams encapsulated in UDP packets (multicast and unicast) or received with a DVB-C TV card (QAM).
- Analyses bandwidth allocated by each elementary stream. Realtime information and graphs with historic data (RRD).
- Decodes PSI/SI, including EPG.
- Generates alerts on predefined conditions, for instance: no audio, video bitrate below defined level, service is scrambled, packet loss in an elementary stream, no EPG.
- Instant access to stream analysis results and alerts from any place, through an intuitive web interface.
- Historic data of packet loss in streams, crc errors in sections, and stream scrambling status (as RRD graphs).
- Runs on a server under control of the GNU/Linux operating system*.
- Configuration through a text file.
- High efficiency. Single, cost-effective 1U server may process up to 3 Gbit/s.
