Tektronix announced that its Sentry digital content monitoring has been selected by Videotron.

Tektronix announced that its Sentry digital content monitoring has been selected by Videotron, an integrated communications company engaged in cable television, interactive multimedia development, Internet access services, cable telephony and wireless telephone service. The solution is expected to ensure a superior viewing experience for Videotron subscribers.

Videotron has a well-deserved reputation in the industry for both technical excellence and for its unswerving commitment to quality, said Eric Conley, Vice President, Video Network Monitoring, Tektronix. With the addition of Videotron, we continue to see the same rapid shift toward the Mixed Signals family of products from Tektronix in Canada that we have seen in the U.S., where nine of the 10 largest operators extensively use Tektronix monitoring solutions, he added.

As per a media release, Videotron opted the Tektronix Sentry solution because of its ability to monitor their video quality and applic

ation carousels flawlessly, identifying and diagnosing service-affecting errors before they reach the subscriber.

Another key factor in Videotron selecting Sentry was its unique tru2way monitoring capabilities which dramatically simplify data delivery to set-top boxes via tru2way and other carousels, added the release.

We chose the Tektronix Sentry offering to ensure continued delivery of programming with the exceptional picture and sound quality our subscribers have come to expect from Videotron, said Alain Boissonnault, Senior Director of Digital Video Development for Videotron. As we expand our offerings with more HD programming and other advanced services, the chances for video and audio errors to occur grows, but with Sentry, we will be able to comprehensively monitor our content to catch and rectify errors quickly and with minimum fuss, he added.
