Actus Advanced OTT Monitoring and Analysis
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.

InSite
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.

Dymos(TM) Event Driven Monitoring
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.
';
All-in-One Compiance Monitoring
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.

ILLUMINATOR
Information is your greatest asset. ILLUMINATOR gives access to the key data that is vital to your business performance, presented in a way that is easy to visualise and interpret. Users access data through a client customisable control layer, known as a workspace, which sits on top of the core ILLUMINATOR framework. This allows the software to be tailored to exact client’s needs. The workspace provides users access to any data, whether mastered within ILLUMINATOR’S extensible database, or resident externally in other systems.
ILLUMINATOR allows users to view and manage data from legacy or difficult to maintain datasets, in a single environment. It can consume data in many formats reducing the need for multiple, disparate ‘data islands’ often constructed in spreadsheets, Access or bespoke SQL database solutions.
Work Together
In addition to the user defined Workspaces, the ILLUMINATOR core framework facilitates pre-built or custom functional module plugin capability. Existing modules can be adapted, or new and specially tailored modules can be created with Graphical Data’s support, to ensure you get the solution you need. These functional modules are designed to enhance the power of ILLUMINATOR, improving how users view and work with their data, on a daily basis.
All parts of the business can contribute; suppliers, contractors and customers can also engage if required. Each user has their part to play and every team member's input contributes to overall success. ILLUMINATOR’s communication features allow quick, consistent input and feedback to and from all.
Complete Integration
ILLUMINATOR allows multiple processes to come together in a single integrated workflow tool. These can include processes managed in other systems and if unified with Graphical Data’s RESOLVE software - exceptional end to end project performance improvements can be realised. ILLUMINATOR and its comprehensive toolkit are designed to manage large volumes of complex data. This can include systems procured from scratch, the re-structuring of existing databases, or the unification of data mastered elsewhere in multiple discrete repositories to provide a ‘single view of the truth’, ILLUMINATOR can deliver it all. ILLUMINATOR facilitates exceptional levels of software configuration to meet unique/specific data management requirements but can also realise these very rapidly.
Asset management databases and configuration management databases are numerous. However, ILLUMINATOR’s power is that in addition to these standard functions, it can be configured to be capable of much more. This includes integration of very unique data sets not normally managed in broad enterprise level applications.
