Pixelmetrix, the global expert in preventive monitoring for digital television networks, has upgraded its DVStation Mini, a single-port version of the DVStation.

The DVStation Mini is available in an ASI version for transport stream analysis, 8VSB RF version for ATSC monitoring and now a QAM version for cable applications.

It is a self-contained system that integrates all the necessary test and monitoring functions.

It also allows full remote control via LAN or the Internet.

The DVStation Mini is controlled using a standard personal computer with web browser or SNMP.

Designed for facilities that do not require the full 21-module DVStation or four-module DVStation-Remote, it is ideal for single source monitoring at multiple locations.

Danny Wilson, President and CEO of Pixelmetrix Corporation said: "It is our commitment to offer a complete range of tools for broadcasters of every magnitude; tools which consolidate performance and fault information from multiple sites to a single location".

"Optimised for remote site deployment, this device is also powered to identify service, MPEG and RF glitches in real time", he added.

Equipped with solid-state storage medium for portability, the DVStation Mini can provide the same level of in-depth signal monitoring and analysis as the DVStation, yet modestly priced for networks that seek cost-effective investment.

Affordable and reliable, the DVStation Mini performs well without compromising on the excellent performance attributes synonymous with the DVStation.
