Rohde & Schwarz launches its new Monitoring-as-a-Service (MaaS) solution R&S PRISMON.cloud in Europe

 

 

At IBC 2019, Rohde & Schwarz rolls out its cloud-based OTT monitoring solution PRISMON.cloud in Europe, making it now available in the US, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, France, the UK and Italy. New features first presented at this year’s show in Amsterdam corroborate Rohde & Schwarz´s aspiration in offering the ideal monitoring tool for broadcasters, content and streaming platform providers. R&S PRISMON.cloud can be deployed quickly and without dedicated hardware. A flexible and scalable pricing model allows users to reduce investment costs (CAPEX), therefore, provides a tailored monitoring solution also for event driven usage peaks.

 

R&S PRISMON.cloud was designed to enable OTT providers to permanently understand the current Quality-of-Service (QoS) but also to quickly and easily adapt their monitoring infrastructure, for example when peak loads during the transmission of large events require extended service.

 

A live multiview function, automated analysis of A/V data and error assignment in real time placed in an intuitive analysis dashboard make it possible to permanently measure QoS parameters, store it in a cloud environment and visualize it in a timeline format.

 

Thanks to the easy-to-use setup wizard, it only takes minutes to add new virtual IoT sensors around the globe and connect them to the dashboard. The cloud solution has been extended with an API interface to integrate current data into network management systems and now provides configurable incident notifications.

 

In combination with the widely used on-premise monitoring solution R&S PRISMON, OTT data from both physical and virtual sensors can be displayed in a single dashboard. As a new feature, SMPTE 2110 data from R&S PRISMONs can now also be viewed in the PRISMON.cloud dashboard.

 

The resulting end-to-end transparency quickly and easily reveals errors such as deterioration of video or audio quality or poor CDN performance as a cause of churn. PRISMON.cloud sensors are available in two service packages: silver and gold. These packages can be ordered in the Rohde & Schwarz App Store as three-month and twelve-month subscriptions. There is also a free trial that enables customers to try out R&S PRISMON.cloud with no obligation. For more information about the service packages, visit www.prismon.cloud.

The Central Power Hub provides up to eight or sixteen power outputs in one place. The power distribution units feature a single power supply with an optional secondary power supply to deliver full power redundancy. The Central Power Hub (CPH) supports 5VDC or 12VDC devices in a 1U chassis for convenient rack mounting. It provides power to grow your installation on demand.

The power output ports are lockable, preventing accidental disconnects. Each output is limited to 30 Watts at 12V.

Hot-swappable power modules convert the AC supply to DC voltage. Where redundancy is required, the Power Hub will equally balance a normal load between them. If one module stops operating, the Hub automatically transfers the full load to the remaining module.

Power integrity, safety, and management are at the heart of the Central Power Hub system. At startup, the CPH automatically checks the validity of the power modules. It then enables each power output in sequence so they are do not overload the modules by starting simultaneously. As the system provides steady power to your installation, protections are in place to ensure against excess demand by anyone connected device.

Control and monitor the Central Power Hub by an intuitive web interface. View temperature, fan speeds, and current measurements. Control each output individually.

NOTE: Compatible spare power supply - ACR1000-CPH-PS-R2.

Guntermann & Drunck GmbH (G&D), leading manufacturer of KVM systems for broadcast applications, presents its newest KVM product – the RemoteAccess-CPU. The device lets operators seamlessly integrate virtual machines into KVM installations to create hybrid infrastructures. Cloud computing and virtualisation are becoming increasingly important in broadcasting. The physical hardware available on site can be optimally supplemented by virtual machines and computers, which can be remotely accessed via network protocols.

 

Creating hybrid infrastructures using G&D’s RemoteAccess-CPUThe new modules establish a connection between matrix systems and computers or virtual machines, which can be remotely accessed via network protocols (RDP, VNC, and SSH). This way, hybrid systems with real and virtual computer infrastructure can be optimally implemented. The RemoteAccess-CPU supports video resolutions up to 2560 × 1600 @ 60 Hz (or 3840 × 2160 @ 30 Hz) as well as USB HID and embedded audio. After appropriate configuration, users can access any number of virtual sources and computers accessible via network protocols directly via KVM matrix system – uniformly and exactly as producers would access computers under their desk. Via G&D's KVM system, multiple operators can use the same RemoteAccess-CPU to simultaneously connect to and operate the same virtual machine.

The bridge between cloud computing and KVM With the RemoteAccess-CPU, users get a maximum comfortable solution with a high level of user friendliness. Producers can simply select the desired source from a standardised select menu (target list) on the on-screen display – regardless of whether the computer is available in the server room, via network protocol or in the cloud. G&D’s KVM matrix controls the logic and takes over user administration. All connection data is forwarded encrypted.

Thanks to its integrated thin client functionality, the RemoteAccess-CPU offers a platform with integrated thin client functionality, the solution is highly integrative when it comes to establishing connections. Currently, the network protocols RDP, VNC and SSH are supported. Support of further protocols will follow soon.
