New Volicon Products at CABSAT 2013:

Observer(R) 7.0 Version 7.0 of Volicon's Observer(R) transport stream (TS) MPEG transport stream logging and monitoring system has been enhanced to accommodate an even broader array of inputs, including ASI, QAM, 8-VSB, and DVB-T MPEG TS interfaces, and to provide improved system density for HD and SD programs. Newly simplified user interfaces on the Observer system make it even easier for cable, satellite, broadcast, and IPTV operators to address the volume and complexity of broadcast and network services.

 

Observer(R) 7.0

Version 7.0 of Volicon's Observer(R) transport stream (TS) MPEG transport stream logging and monitoring system has been enhanced to accommodate an even broader array of inputs, including ASI, QAM, 8-VSB, and DVB-T MPEG TS interfaces, and to provide improved system density for HD and SD programs. Newly simplified user interfaces on the Observer system make it even easier for cable, satellite, broadcast, and IPTV operators to address the volume and complexity of broadcast and network services.

 

At CABSAT 2013, Volicon will demonstrate how the Observer 7.0 system allows users to log MPEG transport streams continuously, as well as monitor A/V content including BS-1770-1/2/3 loudness and other correlations of data and video. Additionally, Observer 7.0 allows users to stream and export content to all stakeholders in the media enterprise. Because Observer TS logs the full transport stream, the user is able to go back an hour, a day, a week, or a month to examine and/or export content and effectively eliminate chronic issues with service handoffs. Low-bit-rate proxies, WMV or H.264, and DVR-like frame-accurate controls allow for easy content review, even when operating over an enterprise network or WAN. Leveraged across the enterprise, Observer 7.0 can provide benefits to hundreds of users. Its low-resolution proxy streaming functionality gives executives the benefit of easy desktop review of live and recorded content, enables engineering staff to monitor and maintain quality of experience, and gives sales staff a tool for rapid ad verification.
