EtherGuide Ferret Specifications

Transport Stream Monitoring, Validation and Logging

EtherGuide Ferret performs the complicated task of monitoring and validating elementary streams and ATSC broadcast metadata so that any person at a digital TV station, at a glance from across the room can determine transport stream status.

Once an issue has been flagged, engineers and technicians can quickly drill down to 'ferret' out the details. With a user interface remarkably similar to that of EtherGuide Emissary, issues and errors are clearly displayed and the errors clearly labeled with references to the applicable sections that have been violated.

• Able to automatically archive transport stream into handy file sizes onto user-installable SATA hot-swappable hard drive
• Timing accuracy: +/- 1 ppm (part per million) standard; 0.67 or 0.50 ppm available as an option
