Advanced Transport Stream Analyzers for Video & IP Quality
Telecom Test Tools’s analyzers provide end-to-end MPEG and IP stream analysis to ensure media delivery quality across broadcast and network platforms.
Transport Stream Analyzers
Transport Stream Analyzers are essential tools for evaluating MPEG-2 Transport Streams and IP video delivery across digital broadcast and broadband networks. These systems help identify jitter, packet loss, continuity errors, and decoding issues in real-time—ensuring compliance with service-level agreements and broadcast standards.
From Canoga Park, CA, TELECOM TEST TOOLS delivers powerful Transport Stream Analyzers tailored for network operators, broadcasters, and OTT providers across North America. Our solutions support comprehensive MPEG TS decoding, TR 101 290 validation, and IP stream monitoring across DVB, ATSC, IPTV, and OTT delivery models. With advanced diagnostics, cloud connectivity, and scalable deployment options, TELECOM TEST TOOLS helps organizations maintain consistent video quality, proactively resolve delivery issues, and scale to meet evolving media distribution needs.

Case Studies
Case Study 1 – U.S. Public Broadcasting Station
A PBS affiliate in Oregon implemented TELECOM TEST TOOLS’s TS Analyzer to validate ATSC 1.0 streams across 12 transmission sites. The real-time PCR jitter alerts and TR 101 290 priority checks helped cut stream outage resolution time by 60%.
Case Study 2 – U.S. OTT Provider Expansion
A California-based OTT company integrated TELECOM TEST TOOLS’s stream analyzers across its multi-CDN network. The analyzers monitored HLS and MPEG-DASH streams, revealing subtle continuity counter errors that were degrading stream startup speeds on select platforms.
Case Study 3 – Canadian Telecom with IPTV Services
A leading telecom operator in British Columbia used TELECOM TEST TOOLS’s Transport Stream Analyzer to monitor MPEG over IP streams from multiple broadcasters. The system’s SNMP traps were integrated into their NMS, enabling automatic rerouting when stream faults were detected.
