DVStation-IP is the world's first real-time test and monitoring tool for MPEG over IP, addressing the emerging market for video transport over IP networks.

The Pixelmetrix DVStation-IP is a stand-alone MPEG-2 test and monitoring platform ideal for anyone involved in the transmission of MPEG-2 video and data over the Internet or other IP networks.

While the DVStation itself has supported IP over MPEG for several years now, more improvements in the Internet and other equipment now mean using an IP transport for television transmission is finally a viable alternative to telecomms leased lines, ATM, and satellite circuits.

DVStation-IP provides MPEG-2 transport stream analysis and monitoring over an IP connection.

The product supports 10, 100 and 1000Mbit/s Ethernet ports.

Additionally, both the ad hoc MPEG over UDP and RTP encapsulations are supported.

Once connected, DVStation-IP can be set to sniff out video traffic on any set of IP address pairs, extracts the MPEG-2 transport stream, and perform extensive MPEG-2 verification.

The product is packaged in a similar 1RU rack mount computer enclosure as the DVStation-Remote controller, and it uses the same friendly interface as all the other DVStation family members allowing customers to get up and running quickly.

Communication with remote users or applications over standard IP based links is possible through the secondary LAN connection.

Additionally, an advanced Corba application programming interface allows customers to obtain comprehensive measurement results for automated test systems or online reporting.
