Page 6: Introduction
1.1 About the Probe 1.1.1 Probe - Overview The VB-2 series of probes consists of the VB220 rack-mount IP probe and the VB20 portable IP probe. The VB220 can be bundled with a range of interface modules for monitoring of signals as found in cable (QAM), satellite (DVB-S/S2) and terrestrial (DVB-T/T2/8VSB).
Page 7: Vb20 And Vb220
1.1.2 VB20 and VB220 The main difference between the VB20 and the VB220 probes are summarized in the following table: Feature VB20 VB220 RF/ASI inputs Up to 4 RF inputs by adding...
Page 8: Probe - Functionality
In subsequent text the word Probe is used as a generic reference to VB20 and VB220. 1.1.3 Probe - Functionality An IP-based network is fully transparent with respect to signal contents quality, provided that the IP-packets arrive, and provided that they arrive in time. The probe therefore uses the patented MediaWindow to allow monitoring at-a-glance of packet loss and errors in inter-packet arrival time.
