The probe allows operators to monitor the provider's 10GbE backbone network and correct errors in the IP transmission.
Signal quality and video delivery solution specialist Sencore, has announced the availability of a web-based probe for troubleshooting and monitoring 10GbE UP networks in large IPTV, cable and broadcast chains.
The company claims that its VB330 probe allows operators to view the inner workings of the provider's 10GbE backbone network and proactively correct errors in the IP transmission, which could affect a viewer’s experience.
"Since many large networks are unmonitored, transmission issues can be very hard to find and troubleshoot. The VB330 provides an ideal solution by enabling operators to identify the root cause of IP delivery issues and pinpoint the failure quickly and easily, before it affects customer service," said Jeff Briden, Vice President of Product Management and Customer Satisfaction, Sencore. "The VB330 should be standard equipment in any 10GbE network as a tool for reducing operational costs and enabling efficient, high-quality video delivery to improve the end-customer's viewing experience."
The VB330 probe can be outfitted with up to two 10GB Ethernet inputs, providing the ability to monitor ‘thousands of IP streams’ in central headends and network architectures. The VB330 is also said to feature a patented, easy-to-use visual interface for measuring and monitoring IP signals throughout the network. The system can be controlled directly via a web browser or by a VideoBRIDGE controller system.
The latest member of Sencore's VideoBRIDGE product line is said to offer the maximum benefit when used in tandem with other blades and probes that make up a complete VideoBRIDGE monitoring system.
