Called "very tech friendly" and "very intuitive" by one Diamonds judge, the VSE-1100 integrates a spectrum analyzer, video analyzer and return path analyzer into one portable instrument with both RF spectrum and video analysis capabilities. The same instrument can be used to troubleshoot at the headend and in the field. Any user at any location can run tests so that headend-originated problems detected in the field can quickly be verified.

The VSE's analysis engine provides both spectrum and MER for every carrier on a single screen for the entire downstream. A dual RF input feature enables the comparison of two RF ports to identify transient ingress or impulse noise. The VSE automatically identifies changes in digital video or DOCSIS signal content and adjusts tuning. And the fact that the VSE is tablet-based means a large display screen and an intuitive user interface.Click here for more information on the VSE-1100 Video Spectrum Expert.See them at Cable-Tec Expo, Booth 864Return to the BTR Diamond Technology Reviews Elite.
