1. OVERVIEW
The 7881TSM–IP remote probe is a complete solution for compressed network monitoring. By monitoring the
MPEG Transport Stream at strategic points within the distribution network, and in conjunction with the industry–
leading VistaLINK
®
PRO NMS (Network Management System), the 7881TSM–IP offers service providers the
tools to continuously and effectively monitor their IP signals within any IPTV, satellite, terrestrial or cable network,
ensuring reliable signal delivery.
The 7881TSM–IP can monitor up to 32x transport streams. It can monitor MPEG–2 or H.264 content and rapidly
detect and separate encoder errors from network delivery errors, allowing the operator to act quickly and
minimize downtime. Evertz' industry–leading VistaLINK
®
PRO NMS offers a new dimension to TS monitoring by
enabling a graphical depiction of any measurement performed and a quick assessment of the different probe
points in the system. The 7881TSM–IP probe system is an invaluable asset in any operational environment.
The 7881TSM-IP has an integrated 4-port switch, providing layer 2 MAC address learning and switching. It allows
the user to pass or add VLAN tagging to the incoming/outgoing data. The incoming Data (MPEG_TSoIP) from
all the 4-ports is internally fed to the TSM application for monitoring (user does not need to configure this part)
Therefore, this product can be divided into two parts:
•
7881TSM-IP (for TS monitoring): Control & monitor through VistaLINK only
•
7881TSM-IP (Switch with VLAN support): Control & monitor through VistaLINK and WebGUI both
