Nevion’s monitoring and management solutions enable automated SLA compliance monitoring for contribution and distribution video networks and, importantly, allow operators to identify quality issues along the transport path and proactively correct problems before they affect services. These are typically quality issues that may be difficult to detect by simply monitoring the equipment.

The FCS1000-PLUS unit is a compact, high-density and cost-effective in-service monitoring system, assessing the integrity of digital transmissions over DVB-ASI and HD/SD-SDI networks. With a built-in Web interface for local monitoring and configuration with SNMP and XML for remote access and reporting, a single FCS1000-PLUS unit can simultaneously monitor and analyze 16 transport streams or SDI signals. The FCS1000-PLUS is ideal for central deployment in national broadcaster or service provider video headend locations. Nevion’s FCS250 series offers similar features in a more compact Ventura-module format for monitoring SDI or ASI transmissions.
