PIXELMETRIX PRODUCT SHOWCASE AT IBC 2000

PIXELMETRIX Corporation are preparing to showcase their flagship product, DVStationTM with a DVB-T interface, at IBC 2000.
The unit allows network operators to track error propagation along the broadcast chain, pinpoint problem equipment, and rectify problems quickly before they become visible.
Danny Wilson, President and CEO of Pixelmetrix Corporation, says: "A major stumbling block in the delivery of quality digital video has been the inability to quickly find and resolve impairment problems.
“Using human eyes to watch hundreds of screens is neither practical nor helpful in pinpointing which piece of equipment failed. With DVStationTM, broadcast operators now have an early warning system that helps them resolve errors before picture quality is affected."
Pixelmetrix says the unit is the first product of its kind to provide integrated supervision of up to 21 ports to detect the source of picture impairments on multiple levels, such as physical, transport, video and audio quality. Its power lies in the 21-port correlation of results from many different transmission layers. Each test port effectively operates as a computer, monitoring key points in the video transmission chain and displaying results at a glance. RF, protocol, multiplexing, and content errors propagating through the network can be traced and pinpointed to the faulty link or component before serious problems develop.
