The new MSA-100 multi-source analyzer couples confidence monitoring with full testing of compressed video conformance, audio level, data services and ETR-290 on any terrestrial broadcast, cable headend, satellite or telco network. Cost-effective and compact, the entry-level MSA-100 is a powerful tool designed for today’s video-over-IP infrastructures, while still supporting legacy delivery interfaces. A wide array of options allows it to scale from small stations to complex, multichannel operations. The MSA-100 delivers awareness of system information and ancillary data in a space-efficient 1RU package. It possesses a rich user interface for both local and remote control situations, with conformance results displayed in the intuitive GUI. Real-time, full-motion video decode and audio level analysis can be viewed in one or more mosaic displays. A variety of physical input formats are supported, along with all major compression standards, a wide array of transport and streaming protocols, and the ability to simultaneously handle a large number of channels in real time.
