Volicon has unveiled its new distribution monitoring solution, which leverages the company's media intelligence platform to facilitate efficient and cost-effective end-to-end path monitoring for every point across both linear broadcast and OTT service delivery.
The new solution provides users with a unified compliance and monitoring interface for content being distributed in any format, on any platform, to any geographic location.
"Broadcasters need a convenient, flexible, and affordable way to make sure that all of these channels and programs are being delivered properly," said Gary Learner, CTO at Volicon. "With our new distribution monitoring solution, we provide a complete solution that extends monitoring from ingest to the set-top box output and to OTT devices such as smartphones and tablets."
The solution addresses all variety of distribution mediums, whether linear or OTT feeds. By performing automated monitoring by exception across the full distribution path and full channel lineup, the solution radically reduces the amount of operator intervention required to identify and address issues with a program or channel.
To prevent engineers from being overwhelmed by information about the many channels being monitored, the platform highlights only those channels experiencing a problem.
"Broadcasters have to participate in this new digital media marketplace, and with the new distribution monitoring solution, we give them the ability to monitor a record of the real customer experience on any platform and assure it from end to end," said Learner.
