VScope™ for Broadcast Video
Signal Integrity is Essential for Broadcast Video
The advent of high definition (HD) video and the need for network or mobile studios to successfully manage up thousands of live multi-gigabit links and channels has placed new performance demands on today’s video broadcasting equipment providers. Signal Integrity, system quality and performance monitoring are primary careabouts to deploy and maintain best-in-class systems. The ability to monitor the quality of service (QoS) of live signals and maintain a high-level of signal integrity is essential.
With industry-leading equalization performance and patented VScope™ technology for real-time and remote signal viewing of live video feeds on a per-pin basis, Vitesse’s clock and data recovery (CDR) devices and crosspoint switches offer new levels of innovation in monitoring, routing, and improving the signal integrity of uncompressed HD SMPTE 1080i/1080p signals. The real-world, real-time degradation effects of cables, connectors and backplanes require best in class signal integrity components to maintain and monitor signal quality. Vitesse offers best in class signal integrity in its crosspoint switches available in sizes from 2x2 to 144x144 and beyond. VScope offers a new, innovative CDR-based technology to monitor signal quality in these systems.
These products are applicable to a wide range of equipment from broadcast switchers and video routers, to networking and telecommunications devices carrying a mix of both high definition video and data traffic.
