Q-SEE™ PROBES

HD/SD Probes with MPEG-4/Thumbnail Streaming

Q-SEE™ is a state-of-the-art video/audio quality-probing technology that enables the setting of advanced alarming and customizable alarm thresholds for any HD/SD-SDI source. There are two categories for Q-SEE technology — the dedicated Q-SEE module (card) and Q-SEE-compliant devices. Q-SEE-compliant is the term used to describe other Harris products that support Q-SEE thumbnail streams and advanced alarm probing. Many of the cards within the 6800+™ QXF(E) frame support Q-SEE technology. The dedicated QSEE6800+ module is a customizable product that allows more precise monitoring of signal quality. This module is designed to integrate into Harris monitoring and control products to report signal quality status.

Web browser control and thumbnail viewing of Q-SEE module output!
This free new feature — using our baseline frame control Ethernet resource mod-ule along with the QSEE6800+ — allows quick and easy access to view thumbnail streams using a standard Web browser. The technology is cross platform-capable and allows thumbnail viewing on standard mobile browsers.

Product Details

The QSEE6800+ module provides eight HD/SD inputs and eight simultaneous thumbnail streams with a variable refresh rate of up to two frames per second of each input for confidence monitoring. It is also capable of providing a single MPEG-4 stream of any of the eight inputs with an output of up to 30 frames per second at 200-1000 kb/s (fixed) or 1500 kb/s (variable) bitrate. The MPEG-4 stream flows through a dedicated Ethernet port on the rear of the module and can be captured through Harris monitoring and control systems, as well as through any media player that supports RTSP video streaming.

The QSEE6800+ has a broad range of applications. It can be used for confidence video viewing, as a mini multiviewer, an MPEG-4 streaming card, and a signal quality control manager — and is even capable of monitoring multiple broadcast stations with multiple channels located around the world. With more than 100 customizable alarms, this Q-SEE module ensures that signals are behaving within desired specifications.

The QSEE6800+ integrates seamlessly into CCS Navigator. CCS Navigator provides an advanced, customizable GUI with advanced features that allow endless customization with a few simple mouse clicks. Once the QSEE6800+ module is discovered in CCS Navigator, engineers can easily drag and drop thumbnails streams, MPEG-4 streams, input controls and input alarms onto the GUI surface.

New ─ Web browser control and thumbnail viewing of Q-SEE module output!

This free new feature ─ using our baseline frame control Ethernet resource module along with the QSEE6800+ ─ allows quick and easy access to view thumbnail streams using a standard Web browser. The technology is cross platform-capable and allows thumbnail viewing on standard mobile browsers.
