Video Channels
Test
A Video Channels test is an automated test sequence designed to
assess the signal performance of a user-configured series of analog
and/or digital video channels. An RF plant that passes this test meets
the minimum requirements for the delivery of video services. When
necessary, you can troubleshoot an installation by performing this test
at various locations to determine which components require repair or
replacement. You can store the test results for later reference.
