Internet protocol television (IPTV) has caused telecom service providers to take a step from providing best-effort IP (Internet) services to guaranteeing the quality of service that is essential for IPTV operation. IPTV is broadcast over a complex IP architecture; therefore any network impairment can affect the video and/or audio component of a digital TV program.
As an established expert in xDSL, FTTH, PON, Ethernet and IP technology, EXFO is meeting the IPTV challenge by introducing a new IPTV test and monitoring software option for the FTB-8510B and IQS-8510B Packet Blazer™ Ethernet Test Modules and for the CoLT-450P Triple-play handheld test equipment.
SPECIFICATIONS TO BE ADDED HERE .
The advanced IPTV Testing application introduces new QoS measurements as part of the Triple Play testing solution offered by the CoLT-450P. These new measurements are:
1. Media Delivery Index (MDI)
2. PCR Jitter
3. PID viewer
