Pixelmetrix DVStation-Mini wins the Pick Hit Award at NAB 2008

Singapore, April 22, 2008 – Pixelmetrix, the global expert in Preventive Monitoring for digital television and IPTV networks, received the Broadcast Engineering Pick Hit Award for its newly launched DVStation-Mini at the recent NAB in Las Vegas.

“The Pick Hit award ended this year’s NAB on a sweet note, following our Emmy® Award win for our DVStation early this year. The anticipated launch of our DVStation-Mini has prompted much excitement from the terrestrial and cable TV guys. Designed to perform as the indispensable, portable testing unit, the Pick Hit Award is a deserved merit,” Danny Wilson, Pixelmetrix President and CEO, rejoiced.

DVStation-Mini TSP features a single test input of ASI or SMPTE-310 and can be used as a portable test device with easy to carry handle, or as a single RU rack-mounted unit. Signals can be monitored over a LAN or Internet connection using a simple web browser (supporting Mac and PC) or VNC remote user interface, which supports up to four users plus a shared mode for collaboration with others.

Target applications are DTV compliance testing for terrestrial broadcasting, cable headend testing and compliance, and satellite uplink contribution and distribution.

Measuring 13.5 by 1.5 inches and weighing only 5.7 pounds, the DVStation-Mini offers a full suite of transport stream analysis and monitoring tools – displaying video thumbnails and critical audio and video parameters in a concise and clear format. A simple user interface minimizes the learning curve, while its robust software allows users to drill down to examine errors.

Using the same Emmy® award winning technology as the full size DVStation, the DVStation-Mini is based on the Linux operating system, ensuring long term stability. It also supports DVB, ATSC and Digicipher® protocols for extreme flexibility.

The unit features a shock-mounted internal hard drive that withstands hard mobile use and supplied programmable GPIs and SNMP for integration with large Network Management Systems.

The DVStation-Mini is also available as a PSK model, featuring an L-band input.

Pixelmetrix develops a host of IPTV and Preventive Monitoring systems that offer unique attributes and versatility, allowing operators to achieve end-to-end visibility and keep tabs on their network architecture.
