Tektronix Adds High Performance RF Measurement Interfaces for
Worldwide Use in MTM400 MPEG Transport Stream Monitor
RF Support for Virtually Every DTV Standard; Enhanced Features Result in
Comprehensive Quality of Service Monitoring and Fast Problem Resolution for
Digital Video Services
BEAVERTON, Ore., April 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tektronix, Inc. a leading
worldwide provider of test, measurement and monitoring instrumentation,
announced expanded radio frequency (RF) input options for the MTM400 MPEG
Transport Stream Monitor. The MTM400 now supports RF monitoring and testing
for virtually all of the globally deployed DTV RF modulation schemes. The
industry leading MTM400 comprehensively monitors MPEG Transport Streams at both
RF and digital interfaces in a single, integrated monitoring platform.
Increasing profitability of DTV services are leading operators to invest in a
second wave of DTV services such as Video-on-Demand (VOD). The high network
reliability requirements for these services are driving the need for monitoring
systems that present a complete picture of the network and can detect signal
degradation at both the RF and MPEG layers. Customers must be able to detect
faults before the end subscriber is impacted. This can be done by monitoring
the transmission of transport streams at multiple points in the network
including the RF interface.
"With the increasingly global distribution of DTV services, accurate monitoring
and analysis of MPEG transport streams is critical in delivering optimum
quality of service," said Todd Biddle, Vice President, Video Product Line,
Tektronix. "The MTM400 now provides RF support for virtually every worldwide
DTV standard. The combination of high performance RF and MPEG monitoring
allows customers to proactively detect signal degradation caused during
transmission and distribution. The MTM400's excellent performance provides
critical RF measurements such as MER and EVM, which are key early indicators of
signal degradation that could be a prelude to visible picture impairment.
Tektronix continues to lead in market innovation with the highest performance,
most scalable and comprehensive multilayer monitor available."
A variety of different RF interfaces allows direct monitoring of signal quality
eliminating the need for a separate RF demodulator/analyzer. The MTM400 allows
operators to easily and cost effectively perform rapid multilayer (RF and MPEG)
fault detection and diagnostics, minimizing downtime, improving the reliability
of networks and reducing or redirecting capital expenditure that would
otherwise be allocated to multi unit solutions.
The MTM400 now has RF monitoring capability for terrestrial, cable and
satellite digital television standards. Added support for COFDM (for DVB-T
terrestrial broadcast), 8PSK (for satellite broadcast), QAM-B (for US cable)
and 8VSB (for ATSC terrestrial broadcast) interfaces, make the MTM400
appropriate for monitoring needs worldwide.
About the MTM400
The MTM400 is an extended confidence MPEG transport stream monitor for
broadcasters and network operators who need a scalable solution to detect
signal degradation caused during transmission and distribution, preventing
viewers from experiencing loss of signal.
