Agilent Technologies introduces IPTV analysis tool for China’s AVS-IPTV standard

Agilent Technologies has introduced the Audio/Video Coding Standard (AVS)-IPTV analysis and monitoring software.

Designed for the Agilent Triple Play Analyzer platform, the software empowers service providers and network equipment manufacturers to accelerate the development and deployment of AVS-based IPTV networks and ensure acceptable Quality of Service.

AVS is one of the advanced audio/video coding standards for IPTV delivery developed by the AVS Workgroup of China.

The Agilent J6900A Triple Play Analyzer detects and resolves signaling, transport and voice/video/data Quality of Service and Quality of Experience problems before customers are affected. The Agilent Triple Play Analyzer provides AVS-IPTV measurements that include:

  • passive AVS Video MOS (Mean Opinion Score) analysis for hundreds of IPTV/VoD streams in real-time;
  • real-time playback of AVS-based IPTV multicast or Video/TV on-demand streams in real-time with audio;
  • AVS-IPTV MPEG Transport Stream analysis based on the ETSI TR101-290 standard;
  • IPTV transmission layer analysis based on the RFC4445; and
  • analysis of IPTV channel-zapping latency and VoD command response times.
