The TSM-100 analyzes an MPEG-2 Transport Stream for compliance with standards and recommended practices, including ATSC A/78, TR 101 290, and SCTE-142.

It inspects the presence and timing of critical MPEG components and verifies the integrity of the overall stream. It classifies each of the components based on the A\78 categories:

TNC - Technically Non-Conformant
QOS - Quality Of Service
CM - Component Missing
POA - Program Off Air
TOA - Transport Stream Off Air

as well as OK.

The status of various components is summarized in the overall quality level indicator, and an alarm can be generated to indicate a specified level. Simple alarm status and rich analysis information is also available.

Based on the openGear™ open-architecture modular frame, the TSM-100 offers a complete user interface through Dashboard™, the free Java-based application that provides a common control and monitoring interface for multiple openGear frames and cards.

Also available is a heads-up-display on separate monitoring outputs that allows card status and parameters to be viewed and adjusted using the card-mounted finger joystick.

The following features make the TSM-100 the solution of choice for monitoring MPEG Transport Streams for standards compliance:

ASI input and re-clocked output
Measures intervals for PSI and PSIP tables, as well as PCR’s and PTS’s, and compares them to thresholds for different error classifications
Assesses integrity of tables and other essential components
Assesses structure of Transport Stream (e.g. missing components)
Allows thresholds to be adjusted to suit individual requirements or restored to default values
Unattended monitoring: set-and-forget until an alarm occurs
Simple alarm status and rich analysis available through openGear's Dashboard monitoring and control application
Alarm output on GPIO
Fits openGear DFR-8300 series frames, allowing monitoring of up to 10 or 20 Transport Streams 10-slot or 20-slot frame
Cards are hot-pluggable for ease of configuration and maintenance
