Preface
1. Preface
Introduction
2. Introduction
ATUR Physical Layer Test: Most IPTV systems are established based
on the ADSL structure. When subscribers encounter problems which are
due to the malfunction of copper wires, users can check ADSL setup
values with WatchiTV to verify upload and download values. Also,
relevant information like upload noise margins and bits per tone can be
reviewed to clarify relevant problems.
With WatchiTV, the video signal from the network can be detected
automatically and all problems can be recorded and saved in a system
database. Later, this data can be used for further analysis and
application.

Click STB on the function menu. Three sub-menus will appear which
include:
1. STB Simulator
2. STB Booting
3. Control Signal Analyser
Ensure that the ATUR flow rate signal light does not continue blinking
before proceeding to test. To select Middleware or VOD films, set up
the Ethernet card IP (eg: use an IP which is the same as either the STB
or network segment). If you want to test Internet and IPTV at the same
time, connect to the ISP by using the PPPoE protocol before initiating
your test.
When playing channel programs via this function, it is just like watching
normal TV using the STB and television. You may choose to activate
the MPEG function to watch TV while you perform a quality
measurement for the MPEG-2 Transport Stream.
Step 1: Choose “STB” -> “STB Simulator”. You will see the following test
menu.
Pause Pause

Select a URL from the dropdown list that you would like test. This will
run in the left hand window.
Likewise, select a TV station from the dropdown list that you desire to
engage in the test. You may also set up the channel manually, (eg:
224.1.4.8:11111)
Step 2: After selecting both URLs, click “Start” to run the test. The
system will automatically examine any other streaming on the network.
After the system runs through the examination successfully, it will lead
you to the testing window below.
To run the test, convert the function menu “Show Total flow” in the right
lower corner into “Hide Total flow”.
You may also convert “Hide Total Flow” into “Show Total Flow”.
Select the Type you use and key the IP Port, then click “Save”.
Switch the STB into static state (that is, no movie is being played). Also,
make sure that the ATUR flow rate light is not blinking continuously. It is
not necessary to set up an IP in this system.

Description: This diagram shows the spread interval of time for packet
arrivals per second. Generally speaking, the more red strip clusters, the
more stable the spread interval of time for packet arrivals for the stream.
On the contrary, the more the red strip scatters, the more unstable the
spread interval of time for packet arrivals for the stream.
Attention:
Unless you click
the button of
“Save” the
system will not
record any
operation data.
Once you have clicked “Save”, the function button will be converted into
“Stop” which means that whenever you want to stop recording, you may

Appendix B: RTSP
8. Appendix B: RTSP
RTSP is usually accessible via TCP, but it can sometimes also be used
via TCP and UDP. The accessible Port will differentiate the setup of the
video server. For example: when the video server receives the
command transmitted by the STB, you can tell if the transmission is
successful by the responded message. If the command is receivable by
the video server, the message “RTSP/1.0 200OK” will be returned.
Conversely, it would point out some messages like “454 Session Not
Found” as a rejection.
