VeEX Enhances 10G Optical Ethernet Testing
The new test capability on the TX300 supports internal generation and mapping of 10 GigE LAN traffic directly into OTU1e and OTU2e payloads on the unit so that network operators are able to perform the necessary analysis to ensure proper turn-up of OTN client signals and configuration of next generation OTN network elements.
SENCORE Goes 3D
For example, content providers and video distributors can decode 3D transport streams by using a dual-channel MRD3187B receiver decoder. These same customers can use the MRD3187B to decode side-by-side and top-bottom encoded 3D content for re-encoding applications, and then output the 3D streams on the new SMD 989 modulator. Finally, engineers can analyze the quality of the 3D content using the CMA 1820 compressed media analyzer.

TelVue Accelerates Workflow
Spirent Demos Test Automation Interop
The NTAF, which is tasked with establishing a standard for the way in which network test solutions communicate with each other, is expected to deliver the first set of finalized specifications by the end of Q1 2011. The plug fest served to validate the draft NTAF specification, identifying and resolving differences in how each participant implemented the NTAF protocol, and demonstrating acceptance from multiple NTAF members.
Spirent demonstrated prototype software implementations of both an NTAF "requestor", and an NTAF "provider", which in turn controlled the industry-leading Spirent TestCenter platform. The Spirent implementation also successfully interoperated with test solutions from multiple other vendors and customers.
Cedar Point Launches HD Voice Solution
Because HD calls traditionally have required both the endpoints and the network to be HD-capable, Cedar Point estimates that less than 20%, and sometimes as little as 1%, of calls are actually experienced in HD. Enhanced HD's ability to convert standard voice to HD or near-HD quality removes those limitations and enables operators to fully leverage the HD processing capabilities of SAFARI C3.
