OVERVIEW
MViP is an IP based Multi-Image display and Monitoring solution targeted at applications where simple
and efficient monitoring of audio and video from an IP transport stream is required. MViP includes the
ability to monitor at the transport stream level using Evertz award wining TSM (transport stream analyzer
technology). It also leverages industry leading AVM (audio / video monitoring) technology from the MVP™
to determine faults with the audio and video at the base band level.
MViP is developed to be used as a tool for digital headends, IPTV networks, and sites using IP for
distribution with a requirement to monitor and display audio and video along with fault information and
transport details on a simple to configure DVI based monitor. MViP supports all major video compression
standards, and therefore can be used in almost any application where video and audio are being
transported over IP. MViP is SNMP enabled, which allows VistaLINK
®
Pro to configure and store all
monitoring values and alarms.
