Measurement platform monitors MPEG-2

Rohde and Schwarz' R and S DVM measurement platform now features ATSC/8VSB and J.83/B, and is able to support further RF standards.

Rohde and Schwarz is presenting new functions for its R and S DVM family.

The various models of the measurement platform are able to monitor, analyse, generate, and record MPEG-2 transport streams.

Now featuring ATSC/8VSB and J.83/B, the DVM family is able to support further RF standards.

The IPTV functionality for the high-end R and S DVM400 has also been significantly expanded, allowing the instrument to monitor up to 300 TV services in one Gigabit Ethernet interface.

After RF signal inputs were implemented for the DVB-C, DVB-T/H, DVB-S, and DVB-S2 standards as essential improvements, the American ATSC/8VSB and J.83/B standards will now be added.

The R and S DVM-K12 template monitoring option is available for automatic monitoring of undesired changes in the transport stream and the programs it includes.

Real-time buffer analysis was added to the R and S DVM-K10 in-depth analysis option to allow the analysis on both MPEG-2 and MPEG-4/AVC/H.264-encoded signals.

In addition, the R and S DV-H264 transport stream library is now available for the R and S DVM400, the R and S SFU broadcast test system, and the R and S DVRG DTV recorder generator.

The library includes video content in different formats which are MPEG-4/AVC/H.264-encoded.

The R and S DVM family expands the detail analysis of these signals into a complete H.264 analyser by means of the R and S DVM-K200 option.

The flexible platform concept of the R and S DVM family can be customised to meet specific user requirements, making the series a powerful and versatile tool also in development.

The systems are an ideal choice for network operators (satellite, cable, and terrestrial), operators of playout centres, system integrators, and monitoring authorities.
