6.3 OTT (requires the OTT Option)

6.3.1 Active testing

The OTT option enables monitoring of OTT channels. Up to five OTT engines, each

individually licensed, can work in parallel, and one engine can analyse up to ten OTT

channels sequentially. If the probe is licenced with more than one OTT engine the user

is free to allocate the total number of channels between engines. As an example a

probe licenced with two OTT engines may have five channels allocated to one engine

and fifteen to the other.

The probe will parse a channel's manifest file, and for a live stream one of the latest

chunks in each OTT profile's chunk sequence will be analysed. The engine then moves

on to the next OTT channel in the channel list defined by the user. For a VoD stream

the OTT engine will analyse all chunks in the VoD file, one in each round-robin loop.

If manifest file parsing or chunk analysis reveals an error, an alarm will be raised. Note

that some alarms depend on user defined threshold values. Alarms must also be

enabled in the Alarm – Alarm setup view.
