Versatile tester for IEEE-1394 bus
The new FireWorks 1394 VK9000 from Yokogawa Martron is designed to provide engineers with a powerful 'out of the box' solution for testing systems based on the IEEE-1394 bus.
The VT3100's triggers include a 4byte data-pattern trigger and TMCC trigger for supervising digital satellite TV broadcasts, as well as triggers for detecting the events defined in the ETR290 standard.
Up to three channels of streams can be monitored independently.
Filters are included for extracting and recording specific transport streams, and a web browser function allows transport streams to be monitored remotely.
By simply connecting the instrument to an Ethernet network, a Web browser running on any PC can be used to view the recorded streams and TMCC tables from anywhere.
A wealth of playback functions is provided for reproducing and verifying problems, including those requiring playback of a large content or repeated playback of the same content over a long time.
The playback rate can be varied from 100Kbit/s to 56.61Mbit/s, covering all applications from data broadcasting to HDTV.
