WHAT’S SHOWING?

WHAT’S SHOWING?
MicroVB; v4.2 software
WHAT DO THEY DO?
The microVB is a miniaturised remote monitoring and analysis solution for IPTV applications that can be delivered by mail. IPTV operators can gather data about the performance at view- ers’ set-tops, using a user- installed monitoring device. Once installed, it automatically locates an appropriate server and starts monitoring the quality of the sig- nal received by the set-top box. It reports the QoE parameters, allowing remote monitoring and analytics for advanced trouble shooting. MicroVB is now avail- able with a traffic module option providing real-time sniffing capa- bility and view of traffic, in addi- tion to video at the subscriber premises, to provide remote iden- tification of all types of traffic that may be affecting video serv- ice quality. The new VideoBRIDGE v4.2 software release introduces new capabilities for fault-tracking, a revised interface and increased integration between microVB devices deployed at subscriber premises and the server network.
