Promax PROWATCHNeo 2 Advanced Monitoring System
The Promax PROWATCHNeo 2 is a monitoring system oriented to supervise radio and TV broadcasting , cable TV and satellite TV networks in the 5 to 2500 MHz frequency band. It is also possible to survey IPTV, ASI-TS or WiFi in the 2.4 and 5.7 GHz bands. It is possible to survey digital terrestrial transmissions in DVB-T, DVB-T2, ATSC, ISDB-T/TB and J.83B, Cable TV in QAM and DVB-C2 and satellite in DSS, DVB-S and DVB-S2.
Promax PROWATCHNeo 2 can monitor and analyze streams coming out from satellite receivers, transport stream players, multiplexers, etc. Received transport stream signals can also be output to other devices.
Promax PROWATCH Neo 2 provides full remote control for the different parameters in all the sites to warrant quality of the complete network.
The monitoring system is SNMP compatible, letting it be part of any SNMP manager system already in use by the network operator. Building a monitoring network with the PROWATCH Neo 2 is as simple as adding as many remote stations as required.
PROMAX can provide the MIB files that will allow the integration of the monitoring and telemetry equipment in any SNMP control system, including some of the most renowned SNMP managers in the broadcast industry such as the DataMiner®.

- FM: Identification of carrier changes based on a minimum user-defined level
- TV: Identification of carrier changes based on a channel plan, a minimum user-defined level and against a spectrum sample reference stored as a correct template
- MAX/MIN: Spectrum band supervision of level so as to control that minimum and maximum user-defined thresholds are not surpassed
- % deviation: Spectrum supervision and detection of deviation amount from a user-defined threshold over a spectrum sample reference stored as a correct template
