VB 330 IP 10G Core Monitoring Blade
The VB330 Probe is the flagship in Sencore’s VideoBRIDGE products line. With line-speed 10G performance and a massive multiprocessor architecture, the VB330 can deliver monitoring and analytics of thousands of streams and a multitude of technologies in real-time and in parallel.
The VB330 is aimed at monitoring the full cross section of services commonly found in media related network operations. The VB330 is a very flexible tool for monitoring network performance involving signal formats and areas as diverse as video IP multicast, video OTT/ABR streaming, voice trunks, video-on-demand unicast, Ethernet packet micro bursts, PCAP recording and general traffic protocol inspection.
