Singapore -- Pixelmetrix, the global expert in Preventive Monitoring
for digital television and IPTV networks, received the Broadcast
Engineering Pick Hit Award for its newly launched DVStation-Mini at
the recent NAB in Las Vegas.
“The Pick Hit award ended this year’s NAB on a sweet note, following
our Emmy® Award win for our DVStation early this year. The
anticipated launch of our DVStation-Mini has prompted much
excitement from the terrestrial and cable TV guys. Designed to
perform as the indispensable, portable testing unit, the Pick Hit
Award is a deserved merit,” Danny Wilson, Pixelmetrix President and
CEO, rejoiced. |

DVStation-Mini TSP features a single test input
of ASI or SMPTE-310 and can be used as a portable test device with
easy to carry handle, or as a single RU rack-mounted unit. Signals
can be monitored over a LAN or Internet connection using a simple
web browser (supporting Mac and PC) or VNC remote user interface,
which supports up to four users plus a shared mode for collaboration
with others.
Target applications are DTV compliance testing for terrestrial
broadcasting, cable headend testing and compliance, and satellite
uplink contribution and distribution.
Measuring 13.5 by 1.5 inches and weighing only 5.7 pounds, the
DVStation-Mini offers a full suite of transport stream analysis and
monitoring tools – displaying video thumbnails and critical audio
and video parameters in a concise and clear format. A simple user
interface minimizes the learning curve, while its robust software
allows users to drill down to examine errors.
Using the same Emmy® award winning technology as the full size
DVStation, the DVStation-Mini is based on the Linux operating
system, ensuring long term stability. It also supports DVB, ATSC and
Digicipher® protocols for extreme flexibility.
The unit features a shock-mounted internal hard drive that
withstands hard mobile use and supplied programmable GPIs and SNMP
for integration with large Network Management Systems.
The DVStation-Mini is also available as a PSK model, featuring an
L-band input.
Pixelmetrix develops a host of IPTV and
Preventive Monitoring systems that offer unique attributes and
