MicroVB™ Combined with the BRIDGETECH server software, Operators can now maintain 24/7 confidence monitoring
from head end to customer home . Forget those expensive truck-rolls and keep your Opex under control . Just pop a microVB™into an envelope and mail to the subscriber directly . No setup knowledge is required because the microVB™ is literally plug and play. Upon installation the microVB™ is auto discoverable and your operations centre will be ready to go. Once plugged in you need never touch the microVB™ again; just let it go on running. The microVB™, as its name implies is small, even down toits price tag. The microVB™ will give you instant performance feedback on video quality, packet delivery analysis and set-top-box performance and communications.Combined with the BRIDGETECH server software, Operators can now maintain24/7 confidence monitoring from head end to customer home.

VB12 RUGGEDISED BROADCAST IP-Probe 
La capacità di monitorare 10 servizi con la piena analisi e allarmistica ETSI TR 101 290 , con il supporto per tutti i moderni codec multimediali (MediaWindow ™) rende il VB12-portatile inestimabile per l’uso sul campo. Il suo esterno copatto ,design fanless con l’ergonomia eccellente e alimentazione built in da agli ingegneri lo strumento perfetto durante la ricerca in rete di problemi o per la collocazione permanente di una unità in ambienti difficili. La sonda-IP può essere utilizzata per una molteplicità di funzioni a distanza, proprio come per archiviare registrazioni allarm-triggered di TS direttamente nella sua memoria interna (accessibile direttamente attraverso la sonda integrata nel interfaccia web o in remoto). Supporta ingressi Ethernet GigE sia ottici che elettrici, con una porta di gestione separata, sia di un ingresso e di uscita ASI. Download the VB12 Datasheet
VB20 IP-PROBE

VB120 BROADCAST IP-PROBE
The VB120 is a realtime monitoring platform with applications in any network where digital video is carried across IP infrastructure. This network service tool is ideal for both pure IPTV networks and hybrid networks with IP transport cores such as digital cable and terrestrial networks. The VB120 continuously measures signal loss, packet loss and packet jitter for up to 10 IP multicasts, these vital parameters being presented through Bridgetech’s own patented MediaWindow™.

VB220 IP-PROBE
The VB220 is the highend monitoring solution with up to 540 services continously monitored in a 1RU chassis. With an intelligent backplane facilitating inter module communication and built to carriergrade specifications, the VB220 is designed for ultralong lifecycle deployments, providing the industry’s best cost/performance ratio. With full support for both the MPEG2 TS and MFRTP encapsulation standards carrying all modern coding formats, the VB220 is perfect for network core and region use. Download the VB220 Datasheet
VB230 RTP reference generator
The VB230 RTP reference generator option module enables Operators to deploy a reference IPTV signal for testing purposes and as a continous beacon in xDSL, FTTH or IP based CABLE networks. Each reference generator blade outputs a seamless test stream of preconfigured bandwith. The VB230 RTP reference generator blade is supplied as an option module witch takes up one slot in the 1RU chassis. Download the VB230 Datasheet
Il VB250 è una scheda opzionale per input COFDM per lo chassis BRIDGETECH a rack 1RU con il VB220 o VB120 come controller (fino a due schede di ingresso VB250 COFDM sotto il suo controllo) e offre il monitoraggio di segnali COFDM come si trova nelle reti DVBT. Un modulo VB250 è in grado di demodulare un multiplex DVB-T per ETSI TR 101 290 individuare gli errori e generare allarmi nella banda di frequenza DVB-T (49, 861 MHz). L’analisi ETSI TR 101-290 viene eseguita in parallelo per gli ingressi DTT, l’ingresso ASI e l’ingresso IP. Con l’esecuzione in modalità sweep modulo VB250 è inoltre in grado di misurare i livelli di segnale analogico, in effetti offre all’operatore una fondamentale funzione di analizzatore di frequenza in corrispondenza della posizione di distribuzione. Il modulo VB250 è inoltre responsabile degli allarmi per la deriva SFN

VB262 DUAL QAM/VSB INPUT MODULE
This option card is an ideal solution for complete monitoring in DVBC or hybrid DVBC/ IP networks. One VB262 module is capable of demodulating two multiplexes (one per input) for ETSI TR101290 fault detection and alarm generation in the frequency band (44–855 MHz).The configuration with VB120 provides realtime monitoring and alarming for four QAM or VSB RF inputs, 10 IP MPTS/SPTS multicasts and one ASI TS input. With the VB220 as master card the IP monitoring capacity is increased to 260 MPTS/SPTS multicasts in addition to the RF inputs. Download the VB262 Datasheet
VB270 DVBS/S2 QPSK INPUT MODULE
This input option offers monitoring and analysis of QPSK signals found in DVBS and DVBS2 satellite transponders. The chassis can be equipped with a single VB120 or VB220 ip-probe controller card and up to two VB270 QPSK input cards under its control.The combined unit is ideal for hybrid networks where IP is used as a carrier from headend to the satellite uplink station. The builtin roundrobin feature allows sequential analysis of multiple QPSK/8PSK multiplexes, making it possible to monitor a complete transponder using a single VB270. ETSI TR 101 290 analysis is performed in parallel for QPSK inputs, the ASI input and the IP input. Download the VB270 Datasheet
VBC VideoBRIDGE CONTROLLER SERVER
VBC is a server application whose purpose is to offer central control and management of VideoBRIDGE devices such as the VB1 and VB2 series of broadcast and telco IP-probes. Key elements in the VBC are: configuration management, stream status, 4day historical datadisplay with the Microtimeline™ technology, SNMP multidestination trap forwarding, equipment hierarchy and alarm logging. The users connect to the server by using a standard web browser as the client. Multiple browserbased clients can connect to the server through HTTP. Up to 540 channels can be monitored and aggregated in real time. Download the VBC sheet
SOFTWARE OPTIONS:
ETR290-OPT This option contains full ETSI TR 101 290 monitoring and analysis. One ETR290 engine is standard on all of the VB1 series and additional ETR290 engines may be purchased up to a maximum of four on the IP input. ETR290 is optional on the VB2 series and up to four ETR290 engines can be purchased per IP input.
AET-OPT (Advanced Ethernet Tools) The AET option is standard on the VB2 series. On the VB1 series the AET option must be purchased as an option . The AET contains; FSM for validating services and devices on the network through ICMP (ping) and HTTP validation, IGMP Logging for detailed faultfinding, a complete realtime “sniffer” with protocol analysis and more.
IP-OPT (IP Monitoring and Analysis Option for the VB120) The IP Monitoring and Analysis Option activates optical and electrical Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for connection to the video segment and is standard on all probes except for the VB120 where this option may be purchased if required.
REPO-OPT (Report Generator) The Report Generator is an addition to the VBC (VideoBRIDGE Controller) and delivers Enterprise level SLA reporting and technical reporting for ProofofDelivery within the VBC server system. With advanced trending detect and display functions and a highly graphical interface the Reports is useful for both management reporting and engineering detail.
TMO-OPT (Traffic Module Option for the microVB™ system) The Traffic view of an MDC that is licensed with the Traffic Module Option provides the Operator with the ability to expand data into traffic trees to display more detailed protocol information like; IGMP, UDP, TCP and IPv6 traffic. The TMO option acts as a remote realtime “sniffer” at customer premises.
