Let iS
TUDIO
be the watchdog of
your network!
Uninterrupted monitoring of signal
presence, and alarm generation in the
event of e.g. loss of signal, have
become increasingly important with
the ever-growing number of channels
brought to us by digital TV.
In addition to monitoring, the iS
TUDIO
’s
management capability allows the
installation of customized automation
tasks to interact with existing video
routing systems, and thus perform
automatic restoration of services in the
event of device or transmission failure.
Typical applications for video source
monitoring & management, are digital
uplink centers and video retransmission
stations.
Managed broadcast monitoring
for 24/7 uptime
To simplify problem analysis and
quicker incident correction, Barco's
iS
TUDIO
introduces a revolutionary new
concept: managed broadcast
monitoring.
iS
TUDIO
’s advanced warning features are
highly valued. Its graphic controller
Hydra can detect fault conditions on the
incoming feeds — both video and audio
— and notify the operator of these
errors in a variety of ways.
Hydra then communicates the alarm to
network management systems via
SNMP traps or XML.
If an alarm is monitored on screen, the
operator can bring the entire network
process diagram alive with a simple
mouse click. At a single glance, the
operator can detect the failure and take
the necessary actions.
Hydra can monitor an alarm on screen,
log it to a file, or allow the operator to
confirm it in the alarm list provided by
the user interface.
Monitoring of VBI info such as closed
captioning,V-chip, WSS and XDS is all
integrated in the Hydra controller.
Managed broadcast monitoring
supports your quality of service 24/7!
