 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
