Actus Advanced OTT Monitoring and Analysis

As the global over-the-top (OTT) services market keeps growing, so to does the demand for OTT quality of service and quality of experience monitoring and analysis.The Actus intelligent monitoring platform can combine OTA and OTT analysis on the same platform or can be implemented as an exclusive OTT monitoring solution, supporting any internet-based protocol, such as  HLS, RTMP, RTSP, SRT, ZIXI, NDI, MPEG-DASH, Smooth, and others.

Content can be recorded at several points in distribution chain to compare content ant points before and after various CDNs, with alerts sent on any audio and video issues, including low or missing audio, blue screen, black screen, frozen image, pixelization, missing closed caption, and more.

The Actus Alert Center constantly monitors all renditions of OTT streams in real-time, alerting on any technical issue that impacts the viewer’s quality of experience as well as segments where closed captions or SCTE triggers are missing.

Any exception is logged and reported via multiple methods, including e-mail, SNMP, dashboard, multiviewer, log files and popular group-texting applications.

Building on the success of our horizontal PDUs, used by major broadcasters worldwide, TSL Products introduces a range of vertical power distribution units (VDPUs).

Save Space and Money: The new vertical design utilises unique individually fused IEC Connectors to provide the highest density available, allowing you to save valuable rack space. The design also features low energy consumption for a leaner, greener and more space efficient rack room. The new VPDU has dual 32A inlets, with each inlet powering twenty individually fused C13 outlets.

Features:

• Dual 32A inlets, with each inlet powering twenty individually fused C13 outlets.


• High density means the overall unit is only 1767mm.


• Each Outlet is individually fused and has its own status LED.


• A and B Outlets are easily identfiable through the colour coding of status LEDs.


• Easy mounting from rear on sides for extra flexibility and ease of installation.

Our Power Management family has been designed to address the challenges faced by systems managers to effectively maintain system viability, control critical power infrastructures – over local or international networks – to meet targets and increase ROI.

Features:

• Dual input seamless auto changeover


• 14 way fused IEC outlets


• Master input setup button with dual tri colour status LEDs


• Input status monitoring GPO on rear D9 connector


• Tri-colour LED input and power indicators


• Rounded cable tie bar

Facilities are generating ever more data, and although this information is readily available from individual devices, it is cumbersome to access and report on when using numerous manufacturer specific portals. Real-time data is hugely beneficial in the daily running of any facility – minimising down-time and decreasing power consumption - as long as it is accessible from a single point where it can be analysed as a whole, rather than having to access and report from individual manufacturer-specific portals.

InSite is a vendor independent solution that brings all of this information together into a single system using industry standard protocols such as SNMP and Modbus.

It can be hosted on premises or in the cloud and will work with a broad range of third party manufacturer of sensor and data centre equipment - in fact any manufacturer who produces object identifier (OID) information.

DID YOU KNOW? InSite can be configured to provide a protected whole system view for central monitoring and individual subsystem viewer for local system monitoring.

Etere SNMP Console is a highly customizable solution that optimizes all processes, infrastructure performance and devices from within a single interface.

Etere SNMP Console is the leading edge technology with a simple, intuitive and user-friendly interface that helps to optimize all the infrastructure performance and availability of a system. The SNMP Console provides a smarter solution since it takes under-control not only Etere solutions but all processes/devices in the system. Etere innovates and upgrades its Console continuously to transform any broadcast system into a completely safe solution because the security is of utmost importance! All processes are monitored by SNMP standard protocol.

Etere provides a common, flexible and easy-to-use browser interface, designed to be highly customizable to facilitate system monitoring, it's able to detect and recover potential problems automatically. Etere SNMP Console is capable to receive SNMP messages sent by other non-Etere applications or devices such as network switches, routers, and firewalls.

Key Features

■Easy monitoring and management of all the system

■Monitors the status of the system and performs diagnostics

■Handshakes Etere applications to check if they are running correctly

■Controls any SNMP enabled process

■Saves the history log of what happened in your system

■Gives you a view of your machine room to easily locate every PC

■Web access console for an easy control of the system

■In order to improve monitoring of devices, modules and workflows, all Etere components are automatically subscribed to SNMP Service, periodic heartbeats are sent via SNMP

■Etere SNMP Console detects missing heartbeats and sends both a visual-alarm and a real-time e-mail notification to the operations department

■Increased visibility to isolate raised faults

■Etere SNMP Console is smartly divided across different panels to allow a quick monitoring of specific functions

■Manage and archive all SNMP messages

Qligent’s Dymos(TM) Monitoring solution packages all of the QoS, QoE and Compliance Monitoring benefits of Qligent’s flagship Vision system for temporary services in the cloud, giving service providers a friendly pricing model and lightweight monitoring infrastructure that turns on and off as needed.

The dynamically-fashioned instance enables the support of events with minimal notice, connecting the service provider’s infrastructure with a Qligent Vision system in the cloud through a secure URL. Customers get the same benefits as 24/7 Vision users, monitoring QoS-related transport and physical streams, QoE-related issues (lack of signal, video freeze, missing audio) and compliance-related matters, such as audio loudness and closed captioning.

The instantly deployable system provides all the same standard Vision components, including aggregation servers and networked probes for gathering performance data across the delivery chain. Measurement and compliance results and recordings are still available for the customer after the event for a defined period of time – with no additional costs associated as the probing cloud instances have been turned off.

Qligent Vision Compliance Monitoring system unlocks a centralized portal to monitor the three pillars of quality of service (QoS), quality of experience (QoE) and compliance in one flexibly priced solution.

Qligent has long offered an enterprise-level Vision solution for large TV networks and distributed service entities, covering a broad array of monitoring and analysis requirements across many locations. Qligent’s new All-In-One Compliance Monitoring system is tailored for the local TV stations and smaller station groups tasked with the same responsibilities, including loudness and closed caption monitoring, at a more modest scale.

Perhaps most unique is the inclusion of QoS and QoE monitoring – two core Qligent competencies that are rarely offered in compliance monitoring systems. While TV stations can now cost-efficiently monitor their own QoS-related transport and physical streams along with QoE-related issues (lack of signal, video freeze, missing audio), the system also allows broadcasters to record and monitor live program streams from in-market TV stations. These powerful capabilities will give broadcasters consistent insight into competitive QoE performance, as well as clear evidence of what local businesses are advertising with those stations.

Qligent will supply all software, common off-the-shelf hardware, and QoS/QoE/compliance toolsets as an instantly deployable system, which removes the cost and integration burden of expensive, proprietary compliance systems. The flexible pricing structure offers monthly or annual fees for the same turnkey solution, which provides consecutive days of 24/7 compliance recording through the contracted period. Options to monetize programming, such as content repurposing, are available for additional fees.
