As the telecommunications landscape continues to evolve rapidly, telcos face a multitude of challenges. These challenges, if not addressed strategically, can compromise customer satisfaction, inflate operational expenses, and hamper operational efficiency. One of the primary pain points driving these difficulties is the management and delivery of high-quality video experiences to end users. Here, we will look at how a video quality of experience monitoring solution, like that offered by Agama Technologies, can address these critical issues.
G&L – Elasticsearch features for incident detection: are they worth considering?
Media content delivery generates a lot of logs. This is a fact well understood at G&L, since we facilitate the distribution of audio and video content, live and on-demand, for some major broadcasters and official bodies to end users. We know well that log data has no lesser commercial value than the content itself. Log misdelivery can lead to short-term profit losses for streaming and broadcasting service providers. These issues can affect advertising exposure assessment, long-term planning, and more. Providing accurate data and analytics alongside our core services is our dedication, duty, bread and butter.
Black Box – KVM Trends in the Broadcast industry
IP is a fundamental component of modern computer networking and internet communication. Technical staff need to be familiar with IP to effectively manage, troubleshoot, and optimize networked systems and services in a wide range of technical disciplines. For this reason, IP is the accepted Protocol for almost all information transfer, including KVM, which allows remote access and control of servers and devices over standard IP networks. KVM enables efficient management of remote equipment, which makes it ideal for live events, news and sports, where systems and operators are often located in OB vans at remote locations.

Densitron and PHABRIX discuss their “highly creative collaboration”
Broadcast technology has always been a complex business, and in order to address the many technical and logistical challenges that have arisen over the years it’s no surprise that it has also become a very collaborative business, too. In particular, as hardware has evolved and customer requirements have become more diverse, it’s often made sense for vendors to reach out to third-parties to provide specific elements or guidance for their new solutions.
The successful partnership has resulted in the PHABRIX QxP hybrid IP/SDI waveform monitor featuring a 7” LCD display from Densitron
How KVM is helping creative collaboration – Argosy
Not so long ago KVM (Keyboard Video Mouse) was exclusively associated with datacentres. Its very existence traces back to the 1980s when the computer industry took off and, as a result, server rooms and data centres became overwhelmed with hundreds of monitors, keyboards, and mice. The amount of real estate these devices were taking up, along with the distance that technicians had to physically walk to in order to access each server, was becoming an issue.
