Routing systems have grown dramatically complex over the last decade or so with the need to handle a wide and ever-increasing array of signal formats. In addition, the unique operational requirements of a broad range of users mean contemporary Router Control Systems are necessarily required to provide a high degree of flexibility and ease in managing switching hardware.
With this being the case, companies manufacturing Broadcast products face significant challenges in sustaining and enhancing their Routing Systems offerings. As a player in this industry, your product development challenges could include: |
|
|
- Requiring high ability in simulating customer's facility network to duplicate and fix problems
- Being able to rapidly develop and test new drivers for interfacing with third party routing switchers
- Facing insufficient hardware resources to perform comprehensive stress tests
- Developing products with a significant value proposition within tight budgets and tighter timelines
Celstream offers its Router Switcher Simulator to companies in the Broadcast domain to accelerate product development. Celstream’s software based Simulator enables low-cost simulation of fault conditions, enhanced ability to handle faults and larger configurations for stress tests. Further, the Simulator reduces the need of expensive hardware for testing and system integration activities, while accelerating product development.
Our Routing Switcher Simulator includes:
 |
| |
 Generic simulator frameworks that enable easy plug-in of any protocol driver interface for both Serial and Ethernet matrices |
| Comprehensive UI with interfaces for cross-point change simulation as well as for error conditions |
| Status display with color coded schemes that displays the current statuses of all the outputs of the simulated matrix |
| Implementation of protocols needed by third party matrices |
| Support for time stamped high and low level logging of operations, events and protocol transfer |
