Systems and methods for analyzing the performance of a digital network
include capturing a stream of digital data, e.g., internet protocol (IP)
packets, that represent streaming video, identifying which of the IP
packets include bit errors, determining to which of a plurality of pixels
the IP packets including bit errors belong and identifying such pixels as
corrupted pixels, and illuminating only the corrupted pixels on a display
of a tool. Corrupted pixels in different time blocks can be displayed
with different colors to gain a better appreciation of the bit error rate
over time.
