Geminus™ G2X

Advanced Quality Monitoring, Analysis, and Test System for 1Gigabit Digital Video Networks

 

 

APPLICATIONS

• Analysis and remote troubleshooting of advanced Gigabit Ethernet digital video networks
• Real-time video monitoring and fault isolation
• IP video network design and engineering

 

OVERVIEW

 

The Geminus G2X platforms is the industry’s most advanced 1Gb digital video monitoring, analysis, generation and test tool. The Geminus G2X contains two hardware platforms, Geminus G2X Base and Geminus G2X Max, offering a scalable solution for digital video networks. The Geminus G2X Max platform connects to the video network through a 1Gb fiber or copper Ethernet port providing true 1Gb line-rate monitoring and analysis. The Geminus G2X Max platform provides 2Gb of Digital Video monitoring and analysis on two 1Gb network connections. Based on reconfigurable technology, the Geminus G2X allows the user to scale the hardware to fit their digital video bandwidth needs. The Geminus G2X offers an efficient upgrade path so your investment will continue to provide unparalleled value long into the future as your network requirements grow.
