[SatNews] The R&S DVMS, which measures just one height unit, can simultaneously monitor the RF and transport stream characteristics of as many as four signals and is, therefore, ideal for use at sites with multiple transmitters.
Network operators can monitor the DVB-T2 transmitter and the signal feed via the T2 modulator interface (T2-MI) without any additional equipment. The system comes with ASI and IP interfaces. It is also suitable for monitoring single-frequency networks (SFN) and measuring the RF spectrum (shoulder measurement). The R&S DVMS continues to support DVB-T in the same module, protecting the investments of network operators who later switch to DVB-T2.
The R&S DVMS either displays logged errors and measurement results on a display at the transmitter site or reports them to the monitoring station via SNMP. The system displays measurements graphically for a quick overview. It incorporates numerous other analysis and viewing functions, including PCR jitter analysis and display of thumbnails and EPG.
The R&S DVMS-B55 DVB-T2 option for the RS& DVMS digital TV monitoring system is now available from Rohde & Schwarz.
