Bridge Technologies Launches VB330

Bridge Technologies will launch the VB330, the latest addition to its VideoBRIDGE series of digital media probes, at the IPTV World Forum in London.
The VB330 offers the highest performance to form-factor ratio available in a monitoring and analysis probe.
With three blades fitting in a single 1RU chassis for a total of six 10GB interfaces, the VB330 delivers a massive monitoring and analytics capability.
Designed for extremely high-density applications at points of maximum data throughput in today's 10GB core networks, the VB330's enormous capacity offers telcos, network operators and digital media organisations a monitoring solution with the potential for scaling to match any level of traffic.
The VB330 takes its place alongside Bridge Technologies' existing range of probes for all points in the digital media chain, and is fully compatible with the sophisticated VideoBRIDGE monitoring and analysis environment, which provides the visual analysis and monitoring tools required to make instant sense of very large amounts of data. Alternatively, the VB330 can be integrated with third-party systems through its EU external integration interface.
Simen K. Frostad, Chairman, Bridge Technologies, said: "This is the first product to be based on our new 10GB architecture, and it provides breakthrough power for operators needing a probe that can handle intense traffic. As both the among and complexity of digital media data proliferates, the VB330 is the essential tool to deploy at the hotspots, as part of a state-of-the-art monitoring and analytics capability."
The award-winning VideoBRIDGE system is the first complete satellite-to-set-top-box monitoring solution for digital media operators, with probes for all points in the network, and all data and signal types.
Compatible with the major stream-based industrial standards such as MPEG-2, H.264/AVC and DVB/ATSC - ETSI TR 101 290, the VideoBRIDGE series offers a complete end-to-end system for the continuous quality assurance of digital media networks. With many patented innovations that give broadcasters and telecommunications companies an unprecedented ability to anticipate technical problems and resolve them before service to the subscriber is affected, VideoBRIDGE is at the forefront of digital media measurement and monitoring technologies.
