Rohde & Schwarz DVMD MPEG-2 Measurement Decoder Description

Functions

Decodes MPEG-2 transport streams for signal analysis. Extracts and analyzes video and audio content. Provides real-time monitoring of program content and metadata. Measures quality of service (QoS) parameters. Supports error detection and reporting. Outputs decoded video and audio for display or further processing.

Platforms

Operates in broadcast, telecommunications, and media transmission environments, integrating with MPEG-2 transmission systems, monitoring equipment, and digital video networks. Compatible with various broadcast infrastructure including head-ends, transmission stations, and quality control systems. Interfaces via digital video inputs, remote control interfaces, and diagnostic ports. Designed for real-time measurement applications in professional broadcast environments requiring continuous signal monitoring and quality assessment of MPEG-2 transport streams.

Applications

Real-time analysis and monitoring of MPEG-2 transport streams in broadcast television environments including digital cable, satellite, and terrestrial transmission systems. Performs detailed stream validation, error detection, and quality assessment for video and audio elementary streams. Supports compliance testing against DVB, ATSC, and ISDB standards. Enables measurement of transport stream parameters, program information tables, and conditional access systems. Used for headend monitoring, transmission chain verification, and troubleshooting of compressed video delivery networks.

Accessories

Requires 19" rack-mount chassis for installation; supports optional DVMD-B5 upgrade providing dual parallel printer interfaces and 12 alarm relay lines for error signaling; connects via standard MPEG-2 transport stream input/output connectors (typically 75 O BNC for TS); interface includes on-screen display output for decoded video and audio monitoring; supports remote control via serial or network interfaces for integration into automated monitoring systems; compatible with complementary MPEG2 signal generator (DVG) for test signal input.

Interfaces

Video Output: BNC (75 Ohm), Audio Output: XLR (Balanced), AES/EBU, Digital Output: SMPTE 259M, Ethernet: RJ45 (10/100Base-T), Serial Interface: RS-232 (9-pin D-sub), Parallel Interface: 25-pin D-sub, Input: ASI BNC connector

Specifications

The DVMD performs real-time MPEG-2 transport stream analysis, decoding, and measurement. It operates on a PC platform with a PCI or PCIe interface for direct input from transport stream sources. The equipment connects via ASI, SDI, or IP interfaces. Applications include broadcast signal monitoring, quality control, and troubleshooting in digital video environments.
