Figure 1 shows the architecture block diagram of the design.The benefit of using Mividi Integrated Multiviewer System (IMS120) in this application is that it includes multi-image display, audio loudness analysis, and comprehensive transport stream monitoring in a single small platform. Therefore, it significantly decreases the cost of monitoring and trouble-shooting digital TV broadcast and saves a great amount of rack space.
The IMS120 can simultaneously analyze multiple streams received from one or more IP input interfaces. The system can support high bandwidth test and therefore reduce the cost of testing each transport stream. It supports remote operation and is very scalable. Since the software runs on standard Windows 7 based PCs, it is easy to maintain and upgrade in the future.
