Minerva Networks, a provider of IP Television solutions, introduced a portable simulation system that allows network operators and broadband equipment manufacturers to test and evaluate IP TV services. The Minerva TVBook simulates a complete multi-channel digital headend. It sources up to six channels of simulated live TV or six channels of video-on-demand for delivery over any broadband IP network. TVBook features a high-performance notebook PC running Minerva iTVManager television services management software, Kasenna MediaBase video server software with two hours of pre-recorded video content, and two compact IP set-top boxes. Network operators can simulate a broad range of video services including live television, pay-per-view and video-on-demand. Operators can also evaluate back-office management functions including subscriber and set-top box management, channel creation, transaction analysis, service packaging and billing.
