Arsat monitors its isdbt-b stations with 3way equipment
The largest tda distribution in Latin America
rf and content monitoring isdbt-b signals multiviewer and snmp monitoring
Arsat, through INVAP, installed ISDBT-b transmission stations in many cities of the Argentine Republic and together with them a ViDeus (3Way) monitoring equipment with sufficient characteristics to carry out QoE & QoS monitoring of all the signals that were emitted over the air.
Four independent ISDB-Tb receivers operate continuously to analyze signals. The equipment reports RF modulation data such as SNR, TMCC and layer information, demultiplexes the Transport Stream, decodes video, audio, EPG and Closed Captions, and sends SNMP alarms.
The equipment has the ability to generate one or several streams in low quality, either independently or as a mosaic encompassing all the signals at a very low bitrate and send it back through the LAN to have visual monitoring of what is happening at each station.
some numbers
tda
Argentina's digital terrestrial television network covers much of the country through 90 stations. Each station has a 3Way monitoring unit connected to a UHF antenna to reproduce reception at an end user's location and decode the broadcast frequencies.
Through a network interface connected by fiber in some cases and satellite Internet in others, the system keeps the status of the station reported to the centralizer located in Benavidez (Province of Buenos Aires). This way you get a current status of all live stations.
2u server with 4 isdbt
The servers prepared with a redundant source with a 2U rackable size allow demodulation, demuxing and decoding of 4 full ISDBT-b frequencies 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Through the reported alarms and the remote viewing of the videos, it allows a broad overview of the situation at the transmission station.
Implementation with partner Viditec
The company Viditec SA was in charge of carrying out the configuration and operation of the system.
