PRISM
Support » Monitoring, Control & Communications » Test & Measurement » Test and measurement equipment and software »
Tektronix’s forward-looking PRISM platform now boasts comprehensive monitoring capabilities across both operations and engineering workflows. “Our focus with PRISM was initially to help the early adopters solve the hardest problems associated with IP deployments,” said Charlie Dunn, general manager, video product line, Tektronix. “Now that the market has become more mature, we’re dialing in the features that the larger set of customers most need: full IP/SDI operational capabilities, a 2.5” depth dual screen display for space-constrained environments, integrated audio monitoring, and a path for customers looking to upgrade to 25G.”
Here are the highlights of the expanded line:
A Robustly Featured Base with Modular Additions
The next generation of PRISM has been designed to be the single instrument that customers need to address the range of requirements from Broadcast Operations to Broadcast Engineering. The new platform is available in both a 3RU ½ Rack or a 1RU 19” rack form factor. The 3RU unit comes with an integrated touchscreen that provides unmatched screen real estate for easy operation. The base units come with IP connectivity enabled and tools such as IP status, SDI timing measurements, event log, waveform, vector, and diamond all provided as standard. PRISM’s modular design and a broad range of options enables customers to tailor their PRISM to meet their targeted applications such as high-end Editing and Technical QC needs with features like HDR False Color, WCG Vector, and CIE charts; or full Engineering capability including timing measurements, audio measurements, compliance measurements, IP measurements and graphing. Control for the configuration and when that is done is completely at the discretion of the customer.
Extended Screen Option for Greater Display Area and Space Efficiency
Tektronix is also pleased to introduce the industry’s first ever extended display, available to use with both of the new form factors. By extending PRISM’s full touch screen architecture into a fifth window or tile on a second screen, Live production customers can now view full size waveform and vector side by side without needing to purchase a second measurement instrument. The new internal power supply also creates space efficiencies. Customers in space constrained environments can rackmount PRISM remotely and then use a purpose built 2.5” depth dual display touch screen, establishing PRISM as one of the narrowest depth tools in mobile production environments.
New Audio Monitoring Capabilities
The 1RU version of PRISM will now include a speaker option and associated volume and balance knob. Operators can save cost by effectively having the waveform monitor and audio unit functionality combined into a single 1 RU instrument. Customers will be able to easily and quickly select and listen to the audio channels they are interested in on either headphones or through high quality integrated speakers.
All PRISM Products Have a Path to 25G
All generations of the PRISM family will be upgradable to a 25G interface board. The broad availability of upgrade kits to all PRISM generations is part of Tektronix’s commitment to safeguarding customer investments.

MAXIVA™ STREAMASSURE
QoS and QoE Monitoring for Serial Data Stream, Transmitter/Exciter and Modulated RF
MAXIVA™ STREAMASSURE
Support » Monitoring, Control & Communications » Test & Measurement » Test and measurement equipment and software »
Maxiva™ StreamAssure provides broadcasters and network operators with a centralized platform for monitoring transport streams, transmitter parameters and modulated RF, to ensure full compliance with standards and customer Quality of Experience. This cloud-based system allows on-premises and off-site, managed service-based monitoring of physical, transport and audio/video streams from a single dashboard. This simplifies the traditional component-based architecture that traditionally employs disparate monitoring systems to understand network-wide performance.
Rapid isolation of performance issues across signal transport and RF infrastructure is another key value proposition for broadcasters. The ability to separately analyze multiple IP, ASI and other streams ahead of the transmitter versus the RF and decoded audio/video streams coming out allows users to quickly identify and address the source of the problem
The StreamAssure system is fully scalable from a single transmitter deployment to a large-scale network, comprising a vast number of sites deployed over a wide geography.
Options are available from an simple and economic monitoring solution to a comprehensive end-to-end system, including compliance recording and streaming.

INTRAPLEX® LIVELOOK
Support » Monitoring, Control & Communications » Test & Measurement » Test and measurement equipment and software »
GatesAir’s Intraplex® LiveLook application for IP Link, NetXpress™, and HD Link™ provides advanced network analytics and monitoring capabilities at an affordable price. It is an invaluable tool for optimizing and monitoring network performance. Broadcasters are increasingly using IP networks for audio contribution and distribution. While IP networks provide clear benefits for both cost and flexibility, there are network impairments which must be overcome to realize the reliability required for broadcast application. While the Intraplex® IP Link platform provides several packet loss mitigation techniques, it is essential to understand the patterns of packet losses as well as other impairments on the network connection to optimize these techniques.
Intraplex LiveLook provides both a real-time analytics as well as a monitoring and notification platform for the IP Link audio codec systems. The analytics capability of LiveLook uses Burst Packet Loss modeling technique to analyze the patterns of packet losses, which is then used by the internal decision tree to provide recommendation on the most effective packet loss mitigation technique of the IP Link to apply.
The monitoring capability can simultaneously collect long-term statistics on multiple audio streams, which can be used for historical analysis. The notification capability creates a separate alarm log for each audio stream and can optionally send email notification to the user on the state of the audio stream.

xFrame
Support » Monitoring, Control & Communications » Test & Measurement » Test and measurement equipment and software »
xFrame provides module-style flexibility for your MatchBox hardware in the form of hot-swappable cards. This gives operators the ability to change audio configurations on the fly, in the field, even on air if necessary.
The audio options are on separate cards, which are installed or removed from the front of the device. For the more technically inclined, let’s say you’re on an OB truck and you don’t have any customers that currently require Dolby E encoding, but all of a sudden, you land a job for a client who does. In an inflexible world, this was a problem that could cost business, but with xFrame all you have to do you slot in a Dolby E enabled card from Hitomi and away you go.
xFrame means that that audio options are very easy to change, or add to, a MatchBox Analyser configuration. That’s because xFrame is an extremely high quality, modular platform that has four slots to accommodate what the user needs, as well as the ability to configure the modules to suit preferences once installed. That modular flexibility is a significant win for customers, resellers, and Hitomi as a manufacturer.
