In order to operate the IPTV functionality, the IPTV software option must be enabled. Refer to Available Options on page 348. IGMP is not available when Through Mode is selected.
IPTV Tabs IPTV Testing with the RTU-310 IPTV Testing with the RTU-310 The RTU-310 module provides the capability to monitor 10 (default) streams in parallel when the SK-IPTV-MON option is enabled. The IPTV monitoring capacity can be increased to 100 streams when the SK-IPTV-MAXSTREAM is also enabled. The RTU-310 IPTV software option provides over 45 different metrics and statistics including Media Delivery Index (MDI) and TR 101 290 metrics. The TR 101 290 includes PCR jitter and Priority 1 metrics.
IPTV Tabs IPTV Testing with the RTU-310 The RTU-310 module equipped with the IPTV option can be used at different points in the network to collect data and help isolate a fault affecting the IPTV service quality as described in the figure below. While monitoring the selected stream (via its IP address) in the IPTV network, all the functions supported via the Frame Analyzer application are also simultaneously available.
IPTV Tabs Discovery Discovery The Discovery page allows the auto-discovery function to automatically scans the network test point and displays a real-time list of all valid IPTV streams carrying MPEG-2 TS traffic. From the discovered stream list, the user can add the streams to collect statistics from. To access the Discovery tab, click TEST, IPTV, and Discovery. Discovered stream list Each discovered stream is represented by its IP Address and stream name.
IPTV Tabs Discovery The status of each stream, active or inactive, is visually presented as follow: Active: Streams on which MPEG-2 TS data is currently being received. Active streams are listed using black characters. Inactive: Streams that are no longer receiving MPEG-2 TS data. Inactive streams are listed using grey characters. Monitored streams are streams that have been added for IPTV monitoring in the overview page. Monitored streams are highlighted with a light blue background.
IPTV Tabs Discovery Stream Monitoring The Add function adds the streams to the stream monitoring list in the overview page. The IGMP Auto-Join function configures the system to issue join request to join a multicast group once a stream is added while the test is running or when the test will be started. 254 Auto-Add automatically adds all active streams present in the discovered list to the stream monitoring list. This includes all the streams already in the discovered list and the incoming streams.
IPTV Tabs Discovery Selection Options Note: Selection Options is not available when Auto-Add is selected. Only non-monitored streams can be selected. Select Range selects all streams located between two selected streams including the boundaries. To select a range, select a first stream from the list, select a second stream from the list, and click Select Range to complete the selection. Select All selects all the non-monitored streams in the list.
IPTV Tabs Overview Overview The Overview tab provides a summary of the key statistics that can be used as first alert information to evaluate the Quality of Experience (QoE) each monitored stream delivers to the end-user. This tab automatically organizes the Stream Name, its IP Address, MDI (Delay Factor, Medial Loss Rate), TR 101 290, IP rate, and Bandwidth Utilization using sorting criteria. All information presented in the Overview page is updated in real-time.
IPTV Tabs Overview To organize the streams key statistics presentation, the Overview page supports several sorting criterion levels. The main sorting criterion is the Stream Alarm Status that automatically sorts the streams from the most important alarm group to the least (Red-Yellow-Green-White). The second sorting criterion is the Stream Activity Status that can either be Active (stream information is black) or Inactive (stream information is gray).
IPTV Tabs Overview Column Description Join Status: Indicates the join status for each multicast stream only. The join status icons become grayed out when the test is stopped. Icon 258 Status Description Joining The joining state is reported following a join request until the desired stream is received or the join timeout expires. Joined The joined state is reported when the desired stream is received before the join timeout expires.
IPTV Tabs Overview DF (ms): The Delay Factor (DF) provides a measure of the maximum packet delay variation over a period of 1 second. In other words, the metric presents in milliseconds how much buffer would be required in the next downstream network element to compensate for the media packet jitter. Note that by definition (as detailed in RFC 4445) a DF value representing a minimum of one line packet (in ms) is reported when no jitter exists in the network.
IPTV Tabs Overview Stream Status The status of each stream, active or inactive, is visually presented as follow: Active: Streams on which MPEG-2 TS data is currently being received. Active streams are listed using black characters. Inactive: Streams that are no longer receiving MPEG-2 TS data. Inactive streams are listed using grey characters.

IPTV Tabs MDI/TR 101 290 MDI (Media Delivery Index) The use of the Media Delivery Index as a testing metric provides the tools to measure and diagnose network induced impairments for IPTV streaming media. The Delay Factor (DF) and Media Loss Rate (MLR) together provide a measure of the quality (quality-of-service) of a delivered media stream which can be directly correlated the end users ultimate Quality of Experience (QoE).
IPTV Tabs MDI/TR 101 290 Note: The Delay Factor (and associated Virtual Buffer Size) value behavior can change depending on the stream type: Constant Bit Rate (CBR) or Variable Bit Rate (VBR). For CBR, the streams should have relatively stable inter-arrival time values for each stream while VBR will have widely varying values depending on the media rate variability of the stream. In the case of VBR streams the DF may not be a direct indicator of the end-user experience.
IPTV Tabs MDI/TR 101 290 TR 101 290 The TR 101 290 determines the integrity of the MPEG-2 Transport Stream across the network. Measurable impairments on the MPEG-2 transport stream can occur at the source or while in transit in the network.
