Getting started
Features and benefits for A comprehensive analysis and monitoring tool for a hybrid IP/SDI broadcast
systems that provides system evaluation for long term system quality
analysis of hybrid IP/SDI
monitoring and reporting
infrastructures
Real time IP/SDI analysis and monitoring to quickly identify the issue to
determine the root cause
Graphical displays that show the traffic present in the 10G Ethernet link,
allowing engineers to understand what is on their network and to easily select
the stream of interest
Select a stream to view and monitor the content using the Picture, Waveform,
and Audio applications, and listen to audio with headphones for conformance
monitoring
Detect IP packet errors, monitor the packet inter arrival time (PIT) and time
stamped delay factor (TS-DF) to allow engineers to observe issues that may
cause intermittent loss of Video, Audio or Data
Analysis tools coupled with historical data give engineers the ability to
understand and resolve complex and intermittent problems quickly
Monitor PTP trend graphs to ensure proper IP system setup for robust sync
system
Tektronix patented Timing display showing the relative timing of the input
signal and PTP reference that makes facility timing easy
1 PPS output when the instrument is locked to a PTP reference
Simultaneous two paths monitoring to ensure proper SMPTE 2022-7
redundant system operation
API to control PRISM from system management software
Multipoint or remote site monitoring allowing one engineer to quickly
respond to issues from multiple points in the system
Build an extensive monitoring solution with the SDI signal decoded from
SMPTE 2022-6 streams reconstructed from streams compliant to SMPTE
2022-7
10GE line rate packet capture for offline analysis
The Picture application provides a full HD 9-inch screen that can be used for
confidence monitoring
All-in-one instrument using a 3RU half-rack platform (MPI) or a 1RU
full-rack platform (MPX) that can be used for either portable or rackmount
applications
