Introduction/Overview

The MTS400 Series is a new class of analysis tool, the world’s first Compressed Digital Video Debugger/Analyzer that introduces CaptureVu™, a new-tomarket capability that captures and analyzes system events in real time to debug the intermittent and complex problems that traditional analyzers miss.

The MTS400 Series offers significant enhancements over traditional MPEG analyzers and operates both in real time (live streams) and deferred time (stored streams). The combination of real-time error capture, an innovative high-speed analysis engine, and built-in intelligence allows ultrafast pinpointing and debugging of intermittent faults in MPEG transport streams.

The MTS400 Series also introduces Real Time Video over IP analysis and recording, both as a component of MTS400 Test System instruments and as an MTS4SA stand-alone application for users’ own Windows PCs equipped with a standard 10/100 or Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC).

Tektronix’ industry leadership offers the broadest (across multiple standards and video layers) and deepest (in depth of generation and analysis) solution for compressed video test. The MTS400 series can be applied anywhere, at any level, to diagnose and solve the most subtle, complex and intermittent DTV problems in the minimum time.

The MTS400 Test System instruments generate, record and analyze at the highest ASI data rate possible (approximately 214 Mbps). A comprehensive suite of analysis tools includes Transport Stream (TS) compliance, buffer, PES, compressed video and audio elementary stream analyzers, together with TS editor, multiplexer and Data Broadcast applications for stream creation, analysis and error-injection.
