- Fully HD-ready, Record, Retrieve, Repurpose, Clip and Share Full Resolution HD/SD or FLV content.
- Supports four HD-SDI, ATSC/QAM, or DVB inputs.
- Integrated, intelligent tuner technology means no manual switching or external tuners are needed. Only a single signal input is required.
- Recordings can be non-stop or scheduled by time block, by channel, or by episode.
- Each appliance automatically switches channels, based on the recording schedule, and records programs on up to four DTV channels simultaneously – including all subchannels broadcast on each DTV channel.
- Closed captions are captured in text format during recording.
- On-the-fly encoding is performed in near-real time so programming can be viewed within seconds from any Web-enabled device.
- Multiple formats are supported: NTSC and PAL, digital and analog, standard definition and HD.
Monitor
- Monitor studio feeds with HD-SDI MonitorIQ system, as well as the final broadcast with its DVB/ATSC/QAM/NTSC/PAL system.
- The DVB-ASI MonitorIQ system will allow national and local television networks, in addition to cable and satellite broadcasters monitor the output of any encoder, as well as the uplinks and downlinks so that they can quickly determine not just when failures occur, but also where that failure originated.
- DVB-ASI MonitorIQ solution allows broadcast engineers to monitor several program streams on a transport flow and records the entire transport for later analysis.
- Intelligent agents generate customized email or messenger alerts upon encountering a wide range of events encountered during ingest (including recordings, encodings, closed captioning loss, video signal loss, blank screen, processor load, free disk space, free memory/swap space).
- Transmission problems detected during ingest are automatically recorded in exception logs to allow quick retrieval and review of affected programming.
- Integration with Third-Party SNMP Managers and Audio Monitoring Systems. Ability to easily see the effects of alerts, errors and discrepancies on actual video.
Log and Verify
- MonitorIQ BMS verifies broadcast content in near-real time, including closed captioning and tracking of ad over- or underruns.
- Nonstop 24/7 recording can be scheduled to create airchecks for compliance purposes.
- MonitorIQ BMS helps ensure quality delivery of paid advertising and provides evidence that ads ran as agreed. With logging of transmission problems and an interface to the station traffic system, affected advertising can be quickly identified so make-good ads can be scheduled.
Search and Retrieve
- Searching for content can be performed across one appliance or all appliances from a single Web-based interface, regardless of media location or number of appliances on the network.
- Content can be retrieved by searching or from “my links”.
- Searching on closed captions, by program, by dates, by channel, by As Run or Traffic log is supported.
- Closed captions and teletext are clickable, searchable, video-synced.
- Recordings can be searched for the occurrence of keywords on specified channels or across all monitored channels, and during specific date ranges.
- A filter function allows content search of program titles, program descriptions, or the entire closed-caption text, As Run or Traffic Log.
- Boolean logic is supported for search queries.
- The power of MonitorIQ searching can be extended to high-volume file archives though an interface to connected networked storage.
- Search results can be integrated with existing portals using standard XML and HTTP APIs.
- Easy-to-use playback controls allow the user to fast-forward, rewind, seek, or jump to a particular spot during playback.
- Recorded files can be physically accessed via Windows Share, NFS, HTTP, and FTP.
- Automated content management capabilities such as auto-expiration and archiving ensure content is protected and handled correctly, based on business or legal requirements.
- Recorded content can be archived online, or automated backups can be used to produce DVDs.
Repurpose
- Retrieval and repurposing of HD content is supported.
- Viewable and downloadable clips can be extracted and converted to a wide variety of formats for publishing anywhere, including Flash, Windows Media, Quick Time, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, XDCAM, and H.264. Content can be repurposed for use on Web sites, portable media players, and any mobile Internet device.
- Recorded content can be pushed to other servers across the network.
- Ratings and advertising rate information can be ingested so MonitorIQ BMS can be used for in-house competitive analysis, eliminating the need for external media intelligence services.
