Technologies:
Timeline™
As part of the VBC, the Timeline functionality enables operators to go back and explore, understand, verify and document in complete detail what happened at any given time, or look for patterns over longer periods of time to identify and eliminate problems.
Gold TS Protection™
Gold TS Protection is a new technology that makes monitoring for digital services much quicker to set up, and fault-tracking much faster, more accurate and secure. Developed exclusively by Bridge Technologies, Gold TS Protection includes all the checks specified in the ETR290 standard, but goes much further to include testing for critical conditions missed by ETR290.
Full Service Monitoring™
FSM™ Full Service Monitoring enables total control The FSM™ framework consists of multiple technologies for detecting service loss or malfunctions of essential services in addition to the broadcast TV stream.
External integration interface™
The Eii specification is an interface for 3rd party integration with Bridge Technologies IP-Probes. Its main interface is XML, but full support for SNMP is also provided. The Eii is provided with extensive documentation and is highly scalable for thousands of IP-Probes in one system.
OTT Engines
The active testing OTT Engines are compatible with all IP probes for HLS, MPEG-DASH, Smooth Stream, HDS and RTMP assets. This enables providers to have real active monitoring of ALL channels provided both for LIVE content and selected VoD streams.
SDIoIP
SDI-over-IP Functions in the Probe SDIoIP functionality provides a monitoring/analytics solution for high-bitrate streams and multiple technologies in real-time and in parallel.
Return Data Path - RDP™
RDP™ to minimize operational cost With the advent of fully duplex technologies as IP transportation, new features for allowing remote access to regional ingressed signal is possible. With RDP™ carriers can centralize both expertise and expensive deep analyzing equipment.
Microtimeline™
The MicroTimeline™ allows status-at-a-glance for over 200 channels in a single web page with complete service history for the last 96 hours of operation.
ETR290™
The ETR290 engine is a ETSI TR 101 290 alarm monitor and advanced analysis functionality feature for the series of devices.
microETR™
The microETR™ technology presents the measurements for many of transport streams in one easy to comprehend GUI.
MicroBURST Detection™
With the speed of networks increasing and bursty traffic like OTT is introduced, small packet forwarding bursts, also called microbursts, can occur.
PCAP Recording™
Introducing Ethernet frames/IP Packet recording in the 10G VB330 further enhances the system. This first version contain filtering of UDP, TCP or TCP/UDP packet captures and 5 different source/destination filters.
microVB™ system - PCAP PFF - filtered forwarding
The microVB™ system have been updated with several powerful features. The ability to monitor and analyse OTT content and powerful PCAP forwarding (PFF - PCAP Filtered Forwarding) can be added to the system as an option.
