IP Video Test Suite

for the JDSU MTS/T-BERD® 8000 Transport Module

Applications

The JDSU IP Video Test Suite for the MTS/T-BERD 8000 Transport Module focuses on connectivity and analysis of the transport network in IP video deployment. Once video streams are encoded at the super headend, understanding the impact of the transport network on those streams is critical. For example, an important metric is the measurement of PCR jitter.The jitter source can be identified by evaluating more than one channel/program at a time. If excessive PCR jitter is present in more than one channel, then overall network jitter is most likely at fault. If excessive PCR jitter is present in only one channel, then a video source problem (at the super headend) is typically the cause.

Verify Video Stream Connectivity

–Correctly verify network provisioning by accessing video streams at various network points and analyzing receipt of the streams and their QoS at each point

–Verify that the physical,transport network and video stream layers are free of errors and alarms

–Ensure throughput by verifying video streams’ bandwidth transported through multiple IP multicast paths

Ensure Video Stream QoS

–Analyze streams by measuring packet loss and jitter on 512 SPTS and 32 MPTS, respectively, in the video explorer application

–Perform detailed troubleshooting in the video analyzer application:

•Validate transport network quality conditions: packet loss, jitter, MDI, distance error and period errors, and

•Validate video stream quality conditions: PCR jitter,TR 101 290 errors such as TS sync loss errors, continuity counter errors (i.e. video packet loss), transport error indicator, PID, PAT and PMT errors

–Verify specific channels/programs and perform PID analysis with the ability to display PIDs (audio/video/data), their IDs, and rates (Mbps) per stream in the module’s analyzer application

The stability, scalability, and functionality of transport networks have a tremendous impact on the quality of video service received by customers. It is important to understand that IP video service flows are packet flows, which are subject to loss and jitter as well as physical layer impairments.The ability to correlate errors seen at the application level with the transport layer is crucial. Combining transport module test capabilities and an IP Video Test Suite in a single tool enables providers to quickly and efficiently sectionalize and resolve video problems in transport networks.
