APPLICATION OVERVIEW
KEY FEATURES
FCS250-TS is a compact and cost-effective
• Automated SLA compliance monitoring
in-service monitoring system. This product is
designed to monitor and assess the integrity
of professional digital video broadcast
transmissions over DVB-ASI networks. A single
FCS250-TS unit can simultaneously monitor
for contribution and distribution video
networks
• Built-in Web interface for local monitoring
and configuration with SNMP and XML for
remote access and reporting
and analyze four transport streams.
• Check DVB-ASI signals according to ETSI TR
Remote monitoring of video signals allows
• High-impedance passive monitoring of up
the operator to identify quality issues along
the transport path and proactively correct
problems before they affect services. These are

to 4 DVB-ASI signals
• Full monitoring of integrity, presence and
activity on each channel
typically quality issues that may be difficult to
detect by simply monitoring the equipment.
Nevion offers a similar card that monitors
signals over HD/SD-SDI.

F eatures
• Integration with Nevion DataMiner NMS or other network
management systems using SNMP
• Configurable profiles and weekly scheduling for
DVB-ASI channels
• DVB-ASI stream handling from 16Kbps – 213Mbps, with
up to 64 programs (PMT PID)
• Reed-Solomon analysis for DVB-ASI signals
• Powerful alarm filtering and logging
• 10/100base-T Ethernet management port
• Serial port communications for local diagnostics and
ISDN/PSTN adapters
• Remote uploads of new schedules and firmware upgrades
The FCS250-TS is used to ensure video circuits are
delivered with the right quality-of-service (QoS), 24 hours a
day, 365 days a year. The product monitors DVB-ASI signals
according to ETR 101 290 levels 1, 2 and 3.

One common use of FCS250-TS is to automate SLA
compliance monitoring in contribution and distribution
video networks. It enables service providers to monitor
DVB-ASI signals transported on behalf of customers while
making sure that SLA objectives are fulfilled. It also enables
service providers to take proactive measurements when
quality issues are detected.

This card enables monitoring of four transport streams
on one Ventura card, which makes it an ideal solution for
distributed deployment, with other Ventura line cards,
throughout the video transport network.

Browser based, multi-channel, menu-driven QoS monitoring system.
A set-up screen for each channel allows for detailed monitoring from top
level alarms and faults, right down to fine-grain details of ETSI TR 101 290.
Up to four different program profiles can be pre-loaded for each channel
and a scheduler screen allows for one full week of profile scheduling.
An alarm screen provides for alarm persistence and hold time filtering
as well as severity assignment and threshold settings. Individual channel
SNMP Informs are generated and sent based on the settings of this screen.
