The Observer RPM (Remote Program Monitor) is Volicon’s solution for MSOs, Independent
Cable operators, IPTV, and Satellite providers looking to automatically evaluate the quality of their
NOC/headend and remote hub site broadcasts from a central location. |
| | Based on technology employed in Volicon’s award-winning Observer broadcast monitoring system, the Observer RPM scans hundreds of channels, automatically testing signal integrity around the clock and issuing alerts (via email and SNMP) when scanned channels do not conform to prespecified limits. Monitoring includes detection of low audio levels and missing/frozen/black video, including notifications when the signal is restored. Supported transport stream analyzers may also be integrated. |
| The Observer-RPM can record content for later review, facilitating diagnostics by allowing technicians to carefully observe an intermittently faulty channel. Armed with a standard MS Windows-based PC, one technician is capable of reaching out and inspecting the entire video pipeline – from central headend to remote hubsite – without leaving his or her seat. The Observer-RPM eliminates the need for manual, visual channel inspections – an expensive and
time-consuming task. It allows proactive response to faults, instead of waiting passively for customer complaints. Improve service and save on operating costs by eliminating unnecessary service trips to remote locations
