IneoQuest Technologies has appointed Pixelmetrix as a value added reseller partner for its newly released Argus video over IP monitoring system.

Pixelmetrix will resell the Argus product as an integrated component of the Pixelmetrix ConsolidatorPlus software application.

The combination of technologies creates a total solution for remote monitoring of video over switched IP Gigabit Ethernet networks.

"Test tool capabilities have had difficulty keeping pace with the complexities and phenomenal growth in the volume of video traffic on switched IP Gigabit Ethernet networks".

"Simple innovative solutions for monitoring the QoS of multiple video streams in large distributed networks are hard to come by", said Marc Todd, President and CEO of IneoQuest Technologies.

The Argus product provides full-line-rate Gigabit Ethernet network monitoring capability including ASI output, MDI and RVL 'remote video link' technology for remote viewing of real-time video content from anywhere in the network.

The Pixelmetrix ConsolidatorPlus software application uses the open standard SNMP connectivity designed into Argus and the Pixelmetrix DVStation to provide flexible management of a large number of devices and is designed to meet the requirements of diverse applications from cable, to satellite, to terrestrial and to the Internet.

Combining the strengths of the Argus video over IP remote monitoring system with the Pixelmetrix ConsolidatorPlus software application provides an extremely powerful solution for centralizing critical performance monitoring of distributed video over IP networks.

"As for video transport for both contribution and to-the-home delivery, IP is clearly the future", says Tom Orlowski, VP Product Development of Pixelmetrix Corp.

"As broadcasters move into IP transport and telcos move into television, both groups will require highly agile yet simple monitoring tools to ensure quality of service".

"The pairing of IneoQuest IP monitoring tools and Pixelmetrix broadcast monitoring tools delivers the needed solutions for both of these markets".
