1 Introduction
1.1
About the VB440 Studio Probe
The VB440 Studio Probe performs monitoring and analytics in real-time for high bitrate streams typically
seen in studios. It supports RTP streams carrying SMPTE 2022-6 and 2110 streams, optionally protected
by SMPTE 2022-7.
The VB440 Studio Probe enables operators to inspect the individual streams and to verify that they are
compliant.
The VB440 Studio Probe comes with dual 100Gbps network ports, making it a future proof solution.
Each VB440 Studio Probe runs an HTTP server with the client as a web browser, so there is no need to
install custom software on computers needing access to the measurement data.
