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

The Singulus^® G2X is the industry's most advanced 1Gb video monitoring, analysis, and test tool. It contains two hardware platforms, Singulus G2X Base and Singulus G2X Max, offering a scalable solution for video networks. The Singulus G2X Base platform connects to the video network through a 1Gb fiber or copper Ethernet port providing true 1Gb line-rate monitoring and analysis. The Singulus G2X Max platform provides 2Gb of video monitoring and analysis on two 1Gb network connections. Based on reconfigurable technology, the Singulus G2X allows users to scale the hardware to fit their IP video bandwidth needs. Additionally, a streamlined upgrade path is available so your investment will continue to provide unparalleled value long into the future as your network requirements grow.
