Functionalities
Optical measurements
- Accurate analysis for high-capacity networks
- This equipment is fitted with an optical receiver (selective or non-selective options) allowing to measure power and attenuation at wavelengths of 1310nm, 1490nm and 1550nm. Combining the selective option with the triple-light generator (OPS3L) is the right choice to certify many optical infrastructures.
- The optical connector is SC/APC and the equipment comes with a kit including optical accessories making it more audible with other types of connections.
*Services and IPTV Analyzer () IPTV and RF services information**
- Allows the demodulation and analysis of IPTV streams (both Unicast and Multicast), not only through video display but also by displaying the total bitrate and bitrate for each service. The relevant information for each service is already given: SID, VPID, AID, video profile, bit rate for both audio and video.
- In addition, this option completes the RF measurements since all this information by service is analyzed as well for this type of signals. For IPTV signals, specific protocol measurements (UDP/RTP) are also analyzed, such as UDP format, Media
- Loss Rate, Lost IP frames.
- *() Optional feature:** Ref. 593251
*Wi-Fi Analyser ()**
All bands (2.4 and 5 GHz)
This functionality allows a full analysis of the Wi-Fi band for the automatic
detection of all the networks. Each of them is identified by name, and the
power of the signal at the access point is also displayed. Two display modes
are provided for the user to choose. The flits mode provides a list of the
detected networks with the associated data and power, while the atman mode
represents them on a dual-axis map: power vs. frequency.
*() Optional feature:** Ref. 593250
Measuring return path From 5 MHz
The capacity of the meter to measure the backwards channel from 5 MHz is
very useful for cable installation technicians. By displaying the signal in
the spectrum, measuring power and C/N, it is possible to ensure a good status
and quality of the upload data transmitted on this bandwidth.
Pass/Fail Indicators Easy decision-making
Reduce installation mistakes with the on-screen Pass/Fail indicators, a
graphical tool that helps and speeds up the interpretation of measurement
results. Different thresholds are available depending on the network area to
be analyzed: headend, multi-band amplifiers, bridging connection, connection
records, user home, etc. Besides the pre-set values, you will be able to
customize your own threshold values.
Sometimes, taking a quick glance at one channel is all you need. The advanced H30Crystal single-channel measurement option automatically detects the channel type, displaying the audio and video levels, A/V and C/N for analogue signals, and power, C/N, and appropriate quality measures for each type of digital signal. All these measures are taken by means of one single button; at that point, all indicators will be activated and display the Pass/Fail condition based on the thresholds specified by the user. Easy-to-interpret results, even for junior technicians.
System Scan Monitored installation
Scan each existing analogue and digital channel in real time to determine
the overall system frequency response. This function leverages the location-
based thresholds to clearly show whether the signal levels meet the cable
systems specifications with green, yellow and red bars. This feature provides
an easy-to-understand, real-time view of the system, including the BER and MER
values of the selected channel.
Spectrum Analyser From 5MHz to “full span?
H30Crystal spectrum analyser provides a value range of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100,
200, 500 MHz and Full, as well as a reference level auto-adjust feature. Real-
time processing speeds ensure the capture of any signal incidents. You will be
surprised by the accuracy and the level of detail provided by this ultra-
portable pocket spectrum analyser. The ultimate tool for identifying and
localizing noise, interference, radiation, and any other signals that may be
affecting the quality of the television signal distribution service.
Guided satellite pointing LNB self-configuration
- This functionality speeds up the dish pointing work. The meter has a typical satellite and a stable transponder according to the regional zone previously set, and it is self-configurated for the LNB connection. In addition, a sound indicator can be activated in order to audibly guide the user in the satellite dish pointing.
- The reference satellite can be manually changed and start a new pointing.
Wideband LNB compatible From 250 to 2300 MHz
This functionality for DVB-S/S2 allows the complete analysis of a satellite
channel in any frequency within the 250 MHz to 2300 MHz range. Thus, the meter
can be directly connected to any output of a LNB Wideband (2 outputs: Vertical
and Horizontal)
MPEG
MPEG video and detailed information
Do you wish to know the contents overfed on a DIGITAL channel H30Crystal
function MPEG will tell you. In addition to channel services display, you will
get their key parameters: Service name, PID, resolution, audio types and
figures, and NIT. A valuable help when troubleshooting your encoder
configuration.
*HEVC display on the meter () and also on your mobile device*
This functionality supports HEVC H.265 new compression format and allows to
display video signals with a maximum Full HD resolution
(1920 x 1080). Information can be displayed both on the meter screen or on
the mobile device (multiscreen mode) as long as your hardware is H.265
compatible (usually a smartphone, tablet or PC).(*) Optional function: Ref.
593252
Constellation Diagram Fine-tune your digitals
Constellation analysis is essential for determining the quality of digital
signals. Constellation diagrams help detecting noise, jitter, interference and
signal saturation, and all the variables that could impact signal quality,
eventually leading to service suspension. By visually inspecting the size and
shape of the dots in the constellation matrix, the technician will be able to
easily identify the nature of the problem.
Capture Plan Custom channel plans
Identify the channels in your distribution with the ultra-fast Capture Plan
function, and from there build your own channel plan containing only the
channels you are interested in. Furthermore, each channel will be displayed on
a bar chart with the appropriate colour based on the selected quality
threshold.
Echos
Optimal signal reception
In terms of terrestrial signal reception, controlling the absence of any echoes that could jeopardize reception is crucial. H30Crystal displays the echoes of the received signal, allowing the installer to minimize them for optimal signal reception.
Datalogs
Save and download
While you are taking measurements or looking for possible problems, you can save sample signal parameters for further in-depth analysis or just for record and use in your reports. It can also prove to be a useful tool for training purposes.
Always updated
Automatic detection of new software versions
- The meter automatically detects if there is a new software version when it connects to the internet (WiFi, Ethernet). To notify that new software is available, an icon in the upper right part is activated without interrupting the users work. The system update can be accessed on the settings menu.
- If the meter is not connected to the internet, it can also be updated using a PC (USB port) where the software version was previously downloaded.
