NoiseTrack – Dual Inputs

� Dual Inputs for Simultaneous Comparisons

� Determine and display noise attributable to each leg

• Need to make an objective determination of problem leg

• Dual input enables simultaneous testing of multiple test points, with clear problem leg indication

• Shortens time to repair, lowers OpEx and churn

HyperSpectrum - Super Fast Upstream AnalysisYou will never miss the noise.

� Real Time Analyzer� Persistence in a 85 MHz

Band • Spectral histogram

� Zero Dead Time• Overlapping FFTs• No time gaps – 100%

coverage

• Need to sort noise and interference from system signals

• Real-time no-gap FFT

• Speed enables discernment of noise/interference vs. signals

• Quicker repair, lower OpEx, lower churn

Video Analysis

� Transport stream verification (TR101-290)

� Transport stream capture� PID information� Program information� PSI/SI tables� Network information

• Need to be able to track MPEG errors through network for insight into customer experience

• Live transport stream display and post capture analysis

• Speeds problem identification, shortens repair time, lower OpEx and churn

Remote Access and Teamwork

� Multiple analyzers communicating with measurements

• Multiple meters measuring same signal (like DOCSIS downstream)

� Expert assistance

• Tablet controls unit over USB or Bluetooth

• Tablet establishes IP connection with remote tablet and remote tablet takes control.

• Need remote access to test points for troubleshooting over time

• Separate user interface from measurement engine; tablet interface enables full test capabilities from any location
