[. . . ] Verify detects subscriber-impacting events during MPEG-over-IP transport and offers a historical database to assist with troubleshooting and trending analyses. Sentry Verify also offers a multiple alert-trigger capture capability to quickly identify and visualize issues as they arise. Sentry Verify is specially designed for operational staff and is a cost-effective solution for large-scale deployments to hub sites and other remote locations. [. . . ] Sentry Verify is specially designed for operational staff and is a cost-effective solution for large-scale deployments to hub sites and other remote locations. It provides necessary, accurate, and timely information to assist in the identification of faults within the IP network and has been integrated with industry-leading management solutions to accelerate troubleshooting and root-cause analysis. Sentry Verify is part of the S2E (Source-to-Edge) monitoring solution, which provides the most comprehensive 24/7 real-time monitoring system with a 60-day historical database, executive reports, and trending analysis capabilities. It can be easily integrated with Medius to provide a seamless monitoring package.

Data Sheet
Sentry Verify monitors and validates MPEG transport stream integrity and reports errors induced during video-over-IP transport. Typically operators use Sentry to validate the subjective video and audio quality (QoE) of their digital content in the video headend and then use Sentry Verify to report on video-over-IP transport issues on the programs that are received downstream at the hub sites.

Ad Insertion (DPI)
Digital ad insertion technology allows multichannel service providers to offer advertisers market segmentation that broadcast networks cannot. Maximizing this advantage requires integrating a complex system of ad insertion technology into an existing network. Today, an average of 2% of digital advertisements fail to air or air incorrectly due to scheduling, insertion, and other errors. In addition, advertisements often suffer the same audio and video quality issues that plague regular programming. Monitoring Scientific-Atlanta Broadcast Files System.
EBIF Monitoring
Interactive applications and associated advertising allow you to deliver enhanced capabilities to your subscribers and is a way to monetize advanced digital services in a broad range of digital set-top boxes. eTV content consisting of the applications and metadata is, however, prone to errors during transport, rate-shaping, and muxing. Old video-over-IP metrics such as MDI and Continuity Counter (CC) errors are incapable of detecting any content errors, especially with eTV. The EBIF/eTV monitoring solution breaks down and reports on eTV application data and critical signaling information, so service providers can be assured they are delivering the best possible quality of experience for their subscribers. In addition, a 60-day application-level historical report (available by service
and by location) provides critical trending information about eTV delivery. Tailored alerting and dashboards provide proactive eTV monitoring and fast troubleshooting.
SA-BFS Monitoring Sentry is designed to identify and monitor data carousels within the transport, which enables it to keep detailed information about the real-time and historical status of the Scientific-Atlanta Broadcast Files System (BFS). Similar to the way other application carousels (tru2way, DSM-CC, etc) are monitored, Sentry is able to provide critical information about the status of BFS carousels. Multichannel service providers can set alerts to be notified of bit rate errors, file changes, file cycle times, and if files are missing.
