RSAM-5800 Remote Service Analyzer Module

The JDSU RSAM-5800 Remote Service Analyzer Module provides remote analysis
of forward path digital and analog signals. It is specifically designed for deployment
in remote, unmanned hub sites or headend locations.

The RSAM-5800 combines the extensive knowledge of JDSU in both radio
frequency (RF) and Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) analysis to quickly
identify real customer-affecting issues down to the individual program without
having to deploy specialists to remote hub sites. The RSAM RF and MPEG probes
provide remote monitoring and analysis with detailed views of channel
performance to the field, headend, and network operations center (NOC)
technicians using Windows® Internet Explorer®.

Simply viewing the QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) stack with a spectrum
analyzer or measuring and monitoring MER and BER (modulation and bit
error rates) on QAM carriers provides absolutely no insight into MPEG video
payloads. It is critical for cable network operators to have system-wide visibility
into the underlying content or MPEG protocol layer to ensure the quality of
programming content and other MPEG parameters such as PCR jitter (timing)
and continuity count for both digital video broadcasting (DVB) and Advanced
Television Systems Committee (ATSC).

The award winning RSAM-5800 helps segment video problems in minutes—not
hours—by proactively monitoring video, voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), and
high-speed data (HSD) carriers for RF and MPEG impairments.
