PRODUCT/VB280 CONTENT EXTRACTOR
VB280 CONTENT EXTRACTOR for metadata extraction and decoding of MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 content with scrambling detection/alarming and freeze frame detection/alarming.
The VB280 CONTENT EXTRACTOR offers thumbnail and metadata extraction for up to 100 TV multicast streams concurrently via GigE interfacing. The VB280 CONTENT EXTRACTOR is ideal for visual at-a-glance monitoring in the NOC, VOC, head-end or remotely via any standard web browser. The VB280 is typically inserted before scrambling insertion in the head-end and the extracted metadata and decoded imagery is fed to the VideoBridge Controller. Disruption of descrambling services is one of the main causes for service production disruptions in the head-end and for the first time cost-effective monitoring of scrambling is available.
Further applications are in middleware scenarios for generating channel mosaics or for extracting channel metadata such as picture resolution, video bandwidth or wide screen signalling information.
The VB280 is equipped with Ethernet data input either as 10/100/1000T electrical or SFP based optical. A separate Ethernet management port is provided for data transfer. Each VB280 runs an HTTP server with the client as a web browser, so no need to install custom software on computers needing access to the measurement data.
The VB280 CONTENT EXTRACTOR card is a blade for the 19"1RU rack-mount chassis. Each chassis can host up to 3 VB280 modules, providing for high density decoding to thumbnails of up to 300 channels in a single 1RU chassis. |
