The transport stream is input to the TSM-110 by either:

A gigabit Ethernet IP connection; or
A DVB-ASI signal.

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 via a contact closure and/or SNMP 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.

The following features make the TSM-110 the solution of choice for monitoring MPEG Transport Streams for standards compliance and converting between IP and ASI carriage:

Converts a transport stream to and from IP and ASI carriage
Monitors signal quality and provides alerts when there is a problem
Unattended monitoring: set-and-forget until an alarm occurs
Alarm output on GPIO
Simple alarm status and rich analysis available through openGear's Dashboard monitoring and control application
Gigabit Ethernet IP multicast or unicast input or output, supporting IPV4, ARP, ICMP, IGMPV2, UDP, RTP, and SMPTE 2022 FEC.
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
