Cards are capable of monitoring: or so (until 13 flows), or DVB-S/S2 (up to 2 inputs RF QPSK/8PSK, along with 10 flows IP and ASI input 1) or DVB-T/T2 (up to 4 RF inputs, along with 50 flows IP multicast) or 8VSB/QAM (up to 4 signals RF, along with 10 flows IP multicast and 1 ASI input) or IP (multiple flows)

The monitoring system can be controlled from a central server that controls the cards and is even able to get thumbnails and metadata of the video. On the other hand, SENCORE offers a complete range of solutions for the analysis of quality of video and MPEG, IP, RF signal error detection. This family includes platforms for MPEG/IPTV analysis and hand signals at RF equipment. Products can accept a variety of physical inputs – including ASI, QAM and Ethernet-. Finally, SENCORE has a variety of solutions for video and supplies signal for streaming video intake delayed playout, as well as equipment to generate MPEG streams, and RF test signals and patterns for calibration of video. “With this agreement SENCORE complements the range of products offered by SAPEC customers, allowing a more complete solution to their transportation needs of video,” said Miguel Angel Cristóbal, CEO of SAPEC.
