StreamScope™ Enterprise Monitor (EM-40)

At the 2008 NAB Show, Triveni Digital will debut its new StreamScope™ Enterprise Monitor (EM-40) enterprise-wide service-quality assurance solution. The StreamScope EM-40 is aimed at proactive, real-time, service-based response. It proactively detects, localizes, analyzes, isolates, and remedies faults impacting video services based on predefined rules. This allows broadcasters, service providers, and IPTV networks to reduce customer down-time and complaint response costs by providing the user with full remote analysis capabilities for any monitored streams. Alarms are generated when a transport stream has fallen outside a specified configuration. Integrated trend analysis enables engineering staff to analyze past issues. The StreamScope EM-40 ensures:
  • Network integrity
  • Video quality of service
  • Viewer satisfaction
  • Lower customer service costs, lower churn, higher revenues
