1. OVERVIEW
MViP-II is an IP based multi-image display & monitoring solution targeted at applications where simple
and efficient monitoring of audio and video from an IP transport stream is required. It leverages industry
leading AVM (Audio/Video Monitoring) technology from the MVP® to determine faults with the audio and
video at the baseband level.
MViP-II has been developed to be used as a tool for digital headends, IPTV networks, and sites using IP
for distribution with a requirement to monitor and display audio and video along with fault information and
transport details on a simple-to-configure DVI based monitor.
MViP-II supports all major video compression standards, and therefore can be used in almost any
application where video and audio are being transported over IP. MViP-II is SNMP-enabled, which allows
VistaLINK® PRO to configure and store all monitoring values and alarms.

Video Black: This fault is triggered when the decoded frame is considered black (Luma Y pixel values <
20).The threshold controls how many pixels may be non-black in the decoded frame. It is the non-black
tolerance level.

• A Value of 0% means all pixels must be black to trigger a fault (Strict Case).
• A Value of 50% means that half of the pixels must be black to trigger a fault.
• A Value of 100% means that no pixels need to be black to trigger a fault (Relaxed Case).

Video Frozen: This fault is triggered when two consecutive frames have no motion The motion is decided
using the threshold and comparing change in the Luma Y pixel value. The threshold controls how much
motion or changes in Luma Y pixel is accepted before triggering a fault.

• A Value of 0% means consecutive frames must have no motion changes to trigger a fault (Strict
Case).
• A Value of 50% means that half of the frame may change or move to trigger a fault.
• A Value of 100% means that consecutive frames may have any motion change and trigger a fault
(Relaxed Case).

Bitrate Low: This Fault is triggered when the bit rate of the stream goes below the threshold for error
duration amount of seconds. The threshold is the target bit rate value. This applies to all decoded streams
from the source.

Bitrate High: This Fault is triggered when the bit rate of the stream goes above the threshold for error
duration amount of seconds. The threshold is the target bit rate value. This applies to all decoded streams
from the source.
Video Loss: This Fault is triggered when no video frames have been decoded for error duration amount
