A cost-effective solution for 1770-3 audio loudness broadcast compliance monitoring, reporting, and logging. Supports IP over UDP and HLS protocols, as well as optional ASI input. A single system can analyze in real time and simultaneously record 30 to 40 channels. Can also be purchased as a software license for Q Check™ systems running fewer than 20 channels. Designed to meet broadcasters’ increasing challenge of more services and new transmission protocols.
- Simultaneously monitors and records up to 30 to 40 audio streams (including audio streams in video programs), depending on input and recording video format
- Records full transport stream or selected programs
- Records streams in original bitrate or reduced bitrate with video transcoding
- Schedules recording for specific time period and auto-repeats daily, weekly or monthly
- Manages, searches, and plays back recorded files.
- Cuts and merges record files, decodes video frame by frame
- Loudness and true peak calculation according to international standard ITU1770-3
- Loudness levels include momentary loudness (0.4s time length), short-term loudness (3s time length), and integrated loudness (configurable time length)
- Real-time plot of loudness and true-peak value
- True peaks can be displayed in absolute scale (LUFS), EBU +9 and EBU +18 scales.
- Logs loudness and true peak value in the system database and text files
- Supports recorded data query and report generation
- Supports TS over IP or ASI input
- Supports multiple streaming protocols: UDP/RTP Unicast or Multicast, TS over HTTP, HLS, RTMP, RTSP, and microsoft smooth streaming (Note: Only loudness monitoring is supported for RTMP, RTSP and Microsoft smooth streaming protocols. Stream recording is
- Supports MPEG-2, AVC/H.264 video programs
- Supports MP3, AAC, AAC+, and AC3 audio encoding
- Supports SPTS (Single program transport stream) and MPTS (Multi program transport stream)
- Supports live broadcast as well as VOD streaming monitoring
- Can record and playback original audio data from transport stream with or without the video data
- The recorded loudness and original transport stream data can be saved for up to six months
- Simultaneously monitors and logs SCTE35 digital program insertion messages
- Auto-alarm, error logging and report generation
- Visual and audio alarms for:
- Loss of input signals
- Loudness over user-defined thresholds
- Loss of audio and audio elementary stream component
- Error alarms can be sent by email, pushing message service, visual display
- Captures and encodes multi-view screen, and streams the encoded data to a remote location using HTTP or RTP protocols for network-wide monitoring
- Applications:
- Network and MSO broadcast monitoring
- Satellite center and cable head-end monitoring
- Monitoring multiple MPEG-2/H.264/H.265 programs delivered over the Internet for IPTV, VOD, Mobile, and Telco
