1. INTRODUCTION

professional broadcast use and fully meet the standards. Our devices incorporate embedded web
site and SNMP communication.
1.2. About DVB
Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) is a suite of internationally accepted open standards for digital
television. DVB standards are maintained by the DVB Project, an international industry consortium
with more than 270 members, and they are published by a Joint Technical Committee (JTC) of
European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), European Committee for Electrotechnical
Standardization (CENELEC) and European Broadcasting Union (EBU).
Our comprehensive digital video system monitoring products ensure consistent, high-quality content
delivery by providing continuous logging and monitoring of multiple signal types in digital TV.
1.3. About IPTV
IPTV means Internet Protocol Television. It is a system of distribution for digital television under the
Internet Protocol that works over broadband data networks.
The main difference between traditional television and IPTV is that traditional television broadcasts
simultaneously all channels (the user selects one and ignores the rest). In IPTV, the receiver only
receives the channel selected. To change channel, the decoder sends a request to the content server,
which sends a new data stream to the client with the selected channel.
IPTV uses two transmission modes depending on the network: Multicast and Unicast.

monitoring more important than ever before. Effective monitoring will make sure that all broadcast,
cable, DSL, and telco operators can isolate and troubleshoot video signal problems before they
interfere with the viewer experience. Therefore, advanced signal monitoring technology is crucial for
delivering the absolute highest quality of experience (QoE) for audiences watching at home, on
computers, mobile devices and so on.
