Also called a "network management center" (NMC), "service management center" (SMC) or "network control center" (NCC), a NOC may be used to manage a large enterprise network, ) management software for its V-Factor([R]) Quality of Experience (QoE) monitoring platform. New advanced reporting capabilities enable video monitoring operators to prioritize specific troubleshooting actions and manage high impact outages, saving time, money and ensuring quality of service. Q-Advisor will be featured at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo, October 28-30, 2009, booth #15034 in Denver, Colorado. Located in the NOC, Q-Advisor receives measurements from probes located at various points of the video distribution chain, from the headend down to the customer premise, providing an unparalleled, end-to-end view of the network. New reporting capabilities include a per-channel, time-based view of quality levels as well as a top-10 video service impairments report. These features help prioritize troubleshooting actions, saving time in addressing and resolving video quality impairments. Additionally, enhanced graphical elements enable technicians to rapidly identify trends and patterns in reported IP distribution issues. "Competition is raging among video service providers," commented Kevin Hsu, vice president of product marketing at Symmetricom. "Q-Advisor provides a critical tool to ensure better video quality at the source where it can be controlled, while at the same time, reducing the monitoring equipment footprint and power usage." The company also announced an enhanced, high-density platform for the Q-1200 Headend Analyzer, extending scalability for video content monitoring and enabling operators to save valuable rack space and power consumption. An automated, efficient solution for monitoring video content in the headend, the Q-1200 examines the quality and integrity of source video and detects transcoding and encoding impairments. The Q-1200 now monitors more than double the number of channels (8HD/32SD - MPEG-2) in the same rack mounted Built into a cabinet that has a standard width of 19" or 24". All types of electronics and computing devices come in rack-mounted packages, including servers, test instruments, telecommunications components, tape drives and audio and video equipment. footprint (2U) with equivalent power consumption.
