JUNE 26, 2008 -- JDSU (search for JDSU) has released the PathTrak Video Monitoring (PVM) System and the PathTrak RPM3000 System module, designed to ensure high-quality delivery of video, VoIP, and high-speed data services over advanced digital networks.

The PVM System is designed to help operators segment forward-path video problems in minutes, instead of hours, by proactively monitoring for RF and MPEG impairments. In addition, PVM software provides network engineers and technicians with web-based access to both live and historical RF and MPEG performance measurements throughout the network to speed troubleshooting time.

The new PathTrak Return Path Monitoring System module, the RPM3000, expands visibility into upstream digital network performance and provides proactive DOCSIS 3.0 measurement and certification capabilities, including analysis of live spectrum, modulation error rate (MER), and quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), according to JDSU.

JDSU's PathTrak Video Monitoring system also includes the RSAM-5700 QAM RF Probe, the ISS-5116 16 port switch, the MVP-100 MPEG Video Probe, the MVP-200 MPEG Analyzer, and PathTrak Video Monitoring Software.
