MARKETPLACE /// TS ANALYSER


Mediaproxy has announced the next generation of its LogServer IP software, which now includes a new QC and monitoring TSAnalyzer application and scheduled DVR-style recording. LogServer IP provides a scalable software-based native MPEG streaming server solution. It combines RTSP based IPTV applications, transport stream monitoring, a flexible IP multi-viewer and multi-channel review application. Scalable to hundreds of single and multi-program transport streams across a linked network of servers, LogServer IP also seamlessly integrates with LogServer ASI providing an easy upgrade path for existing customers. www.mediaproxy.com


MPEG DVB-ASI & IPTV MONITORS


Wohler MPEG monitors decode and provide at-a-glance monitoring of program content from MPEG-2/4 ASI and Ethernet IP streams, as well as 3G/HD-SDI


inputs. The MPEG video monitors decode and display MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 signals via BNC or Ethernet inputs, while giving users the ability to browse the PAT, PMT, and PID data for each selected stream. In addition to MPEG ASI and dual-input 3G/HD-SDI with loop- through, the MPEG monitors also accommodate HDMI video and audio with level meters, GPI, and tally. www.wohler.com


MONITOR APPLICATION


Built on Volicon's digital video monitoring technology, the new Monitor application allows users to monitor video quality, respond to fault reports, and use a full recording of the on-air broadcast for instant review of errors and their impact.


While continuously analysing logged content for a variety of faults such as black or static screen, loss of video or closed captions, and incorrect audio levels, this application provides flexible, individually configurable alert thresholds, with notifications delivered via e-mail or SNMP traps. Quality measurement thresholds may be configured per channel to optimize performance and error reporting. To further simplify network monitoring and troubleshooting, the application provides an integrated multiviewer feature that enables Observer Media Intelligence Platform (MIP) users to use their standard displays as multiviewers or record the output of a traditional multiviewer. www.volicon.com


OBJECTIVE QoE, OTT MONITORING & ANALYSIS


At this year’s NAB Show, Bridge Technologies will debut its Objective QoE (Quality of Experience) solution for QoE monitoring of broadcast and digital media delivery, with support for regionally inserted material. Also new is the VB288 Content Extraction System for Objective QoE monitoring that delivers visual content extraction, status displays and alerts to a virtual videowall display that can be viewed through any Web browser. Running on a standard high- specification server, the VB288 can power displays of large numbers of HD H.264 channels

AUTOMATED QC IN TRANSCODES


Digital Rapids and Vidcheck have announced integration between the Digital Rapids Transcode Manager 2 automated media transformation software and the Vidchecker second-generation


OmniTek’s latest OTM and OTR waveform analysis and signal generation systems offer everything from an entry-level SD/HD waveform, vectorscope gamut and video status monitor through to a full specification waveform analyser capable of handling the latest 2K video standards, all on the same platform. This is achieved through licence options providing, for example, support for digital cinema through the addition of XYZ colour space, gamut histograms and a CIE Chart drawing facility. Test signal capture and generation are similarly added to the OTM/OTR through the installation of software options, as are lip-sync measurement and the analysis of audio features such as programme loudness. Also new is the OmniTek Ultra


4K Tool Box, a small box packed with features for the analysis,


automated QC software. The new integration support enables Transcode Manager 2 users to seamlessly incorporate Vidchecker's extensive QC capabilities within their automated, customized media processing workflows. Outputs can be checked against a user- specified range of verification tests, with users alerted automatically to QC issues. www.digitalrapids.com; www.Vidcheck.com


WAVEFORM, 4K


display, conversion and generation of signals up to 4K/60p. The 4K Tool Box supports all current and anticipated 4K video formats up to 4096 x 2160/60p and has ports supporting a wide variety of connection formats – multi- rate SDI (including dual 6G and quad 3G for 4K/60), HDMI and Display Port – for both video source and display. The Tool Box can either be controlled via the HDMI port or from a web browser. www.omnitek.tv

Digital Nirvana offers its Monitor IQ multichannel signal monitoring, logging, compliance and archiving for broadcasting. Monitor IQ provides centralized management, automatic ad detection, and a director's audio track. It accepts multiple HD/SD signals and exports a wide range of file formats. Digital Nirvana will also show its AnyStream IQ cloud-based OTT monitoring system that provides reliable monitoring of OTT content to ensure that live streams are up and running. This browser-based system monitors for quality issues like loss of video or audio as well as compliance issues like loss of FCC mandated closed captions. www.digital-nirvana.com


CLOUD-BASED QC, HEVC


in multiple browser windows. Bridge Technologies will also show its next generation OTT Engine with MPEG-DASH support; a new PocketProbe app for OTT monitoring and analysis on Android and iOS devices; and the VB273 intelligent satellite redundancy switch for satellite uplinks. www.bridgetech.tv


TV Technology Europe I April 2014


Tektronix’ QCloud cloud-based QC software subscription platform is optimized for deployment on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Broadcasters and others who operate file-based workflows on AWS and other cloud platforms can use QCloud to replace upfront capital expenses with usage-based, cloud-based operating expenses. Tektronix will also unveil HEVC deep dive Elementary Stream analysis capabilities that now come with Option ESE and Option 430 of the MTS4000 MPEG Test and Analysis System. The new features help equipment designers and manufacturers optimize coding efficiency of next generation encoders for mobile video, OTT video and 4K/Ultra HD, as well as check for compliance and ensure high-quality encoded pictures. www.tektronix.com
