TSMIP-10GE Series
IP Transport Stream Monitor
Revision 1.0
Page-23
Num PIDS:
This field shows the total number of individual PIDs found in the stream. It includes all ghost
PIDs and Null packets.
Input Bitrate:
This field shows the current bit rate of the input ASI stream.
Transport Stream ID:
This field shows the decimal value for the input stream. For example, corresponds
to one satellite transponder.
Network ID:
This field shows the decimal value for Transport Stream Network ID. For example,
corresponds to one entire satellite of transponders.
Network Name:
This field shows the network name if it is available.
Num packets/IP:
This field displays the number of MPEG packets per IP packet.
Packet Framing:
This field displays the type of framing being used. It can be either UDP or TCP.
MDI Monitor
Delay Factor:
The Delay Factor is the maximum difference measured between the arrivals of each packet
over a one second period. The value shown is measured in milliseconds and represents the delay factor in
the last second.
Media Loss Rate (packets/s):
This field displays the media loss rate. This is defined as the number of
lost or out-of-order media packets per second. This is measured using the continuity count in the MPEG
header.
Delay Factor Max:
This field indicates the maximum number of Delay Factor which is measured in
milliseconds.
Ideal Delay Factor:
This field displays a calculated value representing the ideal delay factor in
milliseconds, which depends on the stream bitrate and the available bandwidth of the network (Up to 200
Mb/s for the TSM).
Delay Factor Threshold (ms):
This field shows a user definable value in milliseconds. When the value is
exceeded an SNMP trap will be sent to VLPro providing notification that the stream has exceeded the
preset Delay Factor Threshold value.
Media Loss Rate Threshold (ms):
This field shows a user definable value in milliseconds. When the
value is exceeded an SNMP trap will be sent to VLPro providing notification that the stream has exceeded
the preset Media Loss Rate Threshold value.
Clear MDI Measurements:
By clicking the button, all the MDI measurements will be reset.
Error Monitor
Input Status:
This field shows a system message to notify the user if the input is a valid IP or not.
Syntax Error Status:
This field shows a system message to notify the user if any of the ETSI TR 101 290
P1/P2/P3 monitoring tests are currently in an alarm condition. The tests which have been checked (Fault
Monitor) are displayed here. The determination of the severity can be selected on the syntax tabs.
Template Error Status:
This field shows a system message to notify the user if the TS input does not
comply with the template parameters entered in the Input Configuration Window TS.
IP Layer Status:
This field shows a system message that displays the current status of the IP layer. If the
IP address and port number has been correctly entered and the stream is available, this field shows that
the IP layer is OK.
