The OTT software option is available on the VB330 and enables monitoring of up to 500 adaptive bitrate
channels in steps of 5 or 50 (Bulk OTT option) OTT engines depending on licensing.
A built-in web server in the VB330 allows remote signal monitoring using a standard web browser. This
can be managed either through a separate Ethernet network, or by using the regular video/data network
– both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported.
The VB330 10G Probe can also be managed via the VideoBRIDGE Controller. The VideoBRIDGE
Controller will add management features like alarm aggregation and report functionality.
The VB330 10G Probe is a module housed in a 1 RU chassis. Several VB330 modules may be installed
in one chassis, extending the monitoring capacity.
Note: The VB330 does not support RF modules such as VB242, VB252, VB262, and VB272.
