Product Description

 

The VB330 represents one of the most comprehensive media monitoring tools on the market both in terms of capability and capacity. With dual 100-Gigabit Ethernet connectivity and a massive multi-processor architecture the VB330 can deliver monitoring and analysis of thousands of streams and a multitude of technologies in real-time and in parallel.

The VB330 offers platform flexibility. Deploy it either as a pre-configured Appliance server, a telecom-grade dedicated hardware blade or as a pure software solution either on your own server hardware or in the Cloud via cloud hosting services such as AWS. Optimize traits such as power consumption, hardware longevity, scalability and raw performance.

Regardless of the deployment option chosen, feature parity is maintained across all platforms. The intuitive GUI can be accessed from anywhere in the world with next-to-no-latency over any HTML-5 capable browser.

Designed to help media and broadband providers of all types deliver exceptional Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) to their end users, the VB330 represents an indispensable tool in increasingly competitive markets, where margins for technical error are close to zero.

Designed as a multi-purpose tool capable of monitoring IP multicast, video OTT/ABR streaming, video-on-demand unicast, Ethernet trunk micro bursts, PCAP recording, L2TP unpacking and monitoring and general traffic protocol inspection, the VB330 is highly customizable, allowing users to set alarms for a comprehensive range of potential errors according to need.

Some focus areas include OTT/ABR QoS transport and manifests, freeze Frame and signal loss, audio level, QoE MOS score, ETSI TR 101 290 with Gold TS reference, SCTE35/104 ad insertion, IP jitter, packet loss, OTT profile alignment, SRT and closed caption verifications.

VB330 supports the full-range of signal formats found in any media operation, including HDS, HLS, MSS, MPEG-DASH, MPEG TS, as well as all common compression standards – including JPEG XS.

Combined with the Video Bridge Controller (VBC) multiple VB330 probes can quickly and easily be managed with a minimum of setup and configuration effort. Add the management address of the VB330 and instantly gain powerful features such as SLA reports, Dashboards and alarm trending.

The VB330 represents a truly flexible, versatile and comprehensive monitoring solution for networks of any configuration or size.

  • VB220
    The VB220 IP probe is the perfect choice in any network where digital video is carried across an IP-based infrastructure. Built specifically to meet high-end industry needs, this network service tool is ideal for both pure IP networks and hybrid networks with IP transport cores, such as those found in digital cable and terrestrial networks.
  • VB120
    The VB120 broadcast probe offers a cost-effective and powerful monitoring solution, covering most common signal formats found in any media operation. In particular, the VB120 is capable of monitoring IPTV multicasts, OTT/ABR streams, SRT streams as well as a whole range of RF formats. The VB120 probe hardware platform is custom designed by Bridge Technologies and built to telco-grade standards for maximum reliability with the key design goals being an MTBF of at least 15 years and a power usage of less than 30 Watts for a fully populated 1RU chassis. This makes the solution particularly suited for installations in remote and hard-to-get-to locations with a minimum of maintenance and where there are constraints on air conditioning, power usage and personnel.
  • VBC Server
    The VBC offers central management and status displays of all monitored services, providing a window into the performance of television distribution operations. The VBC gives unprecedented insight into network health and the flow of all types of media streams throughout the network, and is a server-side software application that allows multiple Bridge Technologies monitoring probes to be accessed from a single, web-based user interface.
  • NOMAD Portable
    NOMAD covers all the monitoring needs encountered in hybrid IP multicast, OTT and RF networks. It is the ultimate all-in-one monitoring and analysis solution for the technician on the move. NOMAD is a breakthrough design with almost every conceivable interface for media signal monitoring and analysis. Featuring optical/electrical Gigabit Ethernet, ASI in/out, DVB-C QAM cable, DVB-T/T2 COFDM terrestrial, 8VSB for ATSC terrestrial, DVB-S/S2 satellite and external 1PPS GPS time-reference, NOMAD can analyse all RF transmitted DVB signals as well as OTT and multicast/unicast IP transmissions.
