Customer’s task
To complete the project of developing a control middleware for Guizhou IPTV Broadcast Center, Joint-System needed a monitoring system.
Solution
We have integrated the Elecard Boro system to the customer’s IP-based broadcast video control system. Two probes were installed to monitor 180 channels. One probe is used to monitor all channels at the input point; the other is used as a mobile probe to analyze streams at different points of the system. QoS parameters and video thumbnails are monitored to manage video processing workflows and provide qualified feedbacks to operators.
Result
· Improved quality of provided services thanks to real-time monitoring
· Instant notification when an error occurs
· Solution scalability without additional hardware
· Cost savings because of reducing the number of engineers involved
· Possibility to quickly deploy a probe at any network point
· Quick and easy generation of reports for operators
Feedback
“Comparing with other solutions, Elecard Boro probing technology is the most flexible to deploy. Elecard Boro is easy to install at any point of video signal path. Now end user can manage monitoring and video service using one support team and ensure good quality of fast growing IP video services.”
