input with 4 tuners
Analyzer-quality QAM RF Measuring Capability. RF Measurements
include:
RF Lock Indication (including LED on rear panel)
Input Signal Level (Channel Power)
EVM
MER
CNR
Pre-RS BER
Post-FEC Uncorrectable TS Packet Count
Carrier Offset
Constellation diagram provided for diagnostics
Monitors RF signals up to 1 GHz
QAM A/B/C support
Remote management of RF measurement collection
Proactively detect RF issues before they impact subscribers
Applications
RF measurements post-QAM at the hub and at headends where QAM
is used
Two RF inputs enable simultaneous monitoring from different sources
on 8-tuner unit
High quality MER measurements for quick detection when signal quality
is inadequate to be tuned by set-top box
Comprehensive RF reporting for targeted, rapid problem isolation
Cost-effective, high-density solution enables more effective monitoring
of the network edge
Remote management of RF measurement collection saves time and
money for providers now collecting data in the field
Sentry Edge II™ is the high-performance, high-density RF monitoring
solution from Tektronix. The product detects transport stream and RF
modulation errors generated by equipment errors or failures, and provides
reporting and alerting capabilities for services in the RF and TS domains.
Sentry Edge II delivers high quality RF measurements at scale for 24/7
video monitoring environments economically.
Sentry Edge II takes RF monitoring to the next level with monitoring density
of 4 or 8 tuners per unit. More tuners per unit reduce the time to round robin,
so RF issues can be identified sooner. Customers can round robin or park
on any of the tuners, or chose any combination of these options.
Excellent MER performance across the entire frequency range lets
service providers detect a drop in signal quality before there is impact to
subscribers.
