Complete and flexible high-end solution for analysis of IP data based on flow-records derived directly from a DVB compliant transport stream without the need of extra hardware like routers or switches. A reliable and cost-effective basis for monitoring your DVB based IP network.

The QMS is a compact solution for monitoring DVB based IP networks from gcs. The QMS is based upon a custom designed high-performance receive hardware, together with a sophisticated software system providing the IP/DVB de-capsulation, dissection and storage of IP data-flows (meta-data) as well as necessary drivers and userfriendly control and configuration tools. gcs has considerable experience in IP/DVB transmission systems development and operation.

Functions

• tunes to a specific satellite frequency and demodulates a DVB-S*) compliant signal
• receives the MPEG-2 Transport Stream multiplexes and demultiplexes it in real-time
• monitors and statistically analyses the Transport Stream multiplex
• investigates simultaneously all or a selected range of Packet Identifiers (PIDs)
• extracts IP packets from Multi Protocol Encapsulated (MPE) sections and Unidirectional Link Encapsulation (ULE) SNDUs and creates data flows for further processing
• stores meta information and related statistical data (e.g. PID, PSI/SI data, TCP/IP info, type of service) in a SQL database
