TSProcessor is an EBIF application filtering, replacement and monitoring system. It is designed to be present in the cable delivery path allowing detection, modification and analysis of transport streams which could potentially contain EBIF applications.

A TSProcessor system is capable of receiving up to four MPEG-2 multi-program transport streams which are decoded, analyzed, optionally modified and then re-encoded and streamed out. The device expects Gigabit Ethernet inputs and supports GbE and ASI outputs. TSProcessor is installed on a 1RU Linux server which includes a quad-port ASI card and dual Ethernet ports.

Features and Capabilities

Filtering - filters out ETV applications based on configurable criteria for passing them through, to prevent the transmission of unauthorized or unsuitable applications.
Replacement - TSProcessor replaces ETV application signals and content based on configurable criteria.
Logging - TSProcessor provides an ETV application logging function, to allow an operator to see when, where and how ETV applications have been run.
Capture - TSProcessor records all ETV application signals, content and events, to allow an application to be reconstituted and replayed offline.
Reconcilation - TSProcessor reconciles the ETV application received on a service against the ETV application being played out on the equivalent service on a nominated TSBroadcaster, to indicate whether the input stream is consistent with the TSBroadcaster.
Alert - the ETV TS Processor provides alerts on selected significant events to allow investigative or corrective action to be initiated.
