NEW – PathTrak Video Monitoring (PVM) System
 As the competition for digital video subscribers continues to intensify, Cable Network Operators have to ensure that the content or digital payload is error free. JDSU’s new PathTrak Video Monitoring (PVM) System can help you to segment forward path video problems in minutes instead of hours by proactively measuring and monitoring Video, VoIP and HSD carriers for QAM RF and MPEG impairments down to each individual program in your network.

NEW! – PathTrakâ„¢ RPM3000 Monitoring Module for PathTrak Return Monitoring System JDSU’s new RPM3000 card was specifically designed to enable MSOs to efficiently and proactively certify, monitor and maintain their DOCSIS® 3.0 networks. The PathTrak RPM3000 card gives you the ability to measure and display unequalized MER and constellation – on live upstream DOCSIS channels and QAM test carriers generated by field meters! This works with quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) and QAM channels (all DOCSIS symbol rates). RPM3000 cards can also measure and monitor the upstream spectrum between .5 and 85 MHz. The PathTrakâ„¢ RPM3000 is compatible with all existing PathTrak hardware via free field upgrades which include software and firmware upgrades. JDSU Click here for more information
NEW TraffiControl Option for 860 DSPi When installed in an 860 DSPi, this Option provides a way to troubleshoot upstream ingress and noise problems within active channel bands by seeing the ingress that is present “underneath” an upstream cable modem channel, or any bursty signal. 860 owners with the latest firmware update (version 8.1.10.1) may activate the option in the field by purchasing a key code.
