Characteristics

Power Requirements

Power Consumption (nominal) - 40 VA.

Voltage - 100 to 240 V.

Frequency - 50/60 Hz.

Monitoring

Data Rate

Maximum Data Rate - 155 Mbps*⁶.

Minimum Data Rate - 250 kbps.

*⁶ Maximum transport stream bit rate is dependent on transport stream content and depth of analysis being performed. Stream analysis is handled gracefully if SI/PSIP max content is exceeded to ensure critical measurements continue to be performed.
