Volicon, considered to be the broadcast and cable industry's most efficient, reliable, and cost-effective automated multichannel video content logging and monitoring system for compliance, media analysis, content repurposing, and quality of service, displayed its enhanced version of Observer video monitoring and logging solution at the BroadcastAsia2010.

Volicon Observer
As the industry standard for video monitoring and logging, the Volicon Observer captures, stores, and indexes broadcast content from multiple channels, offering users simultaneous, 24/7 access to video from their desktop computers. The Observer brings new levels of efficiency to critical broadcasting tasks including monitoring and troubleshooting transmissions, ensuring compliance, verifying advertising broadcasts, and tracking and analyzing viewer ratings and public relations information.

Volicon recently announced a significant expansion of the Observer product family that addresses the full range of broadcast workflows and budgets. Newly developed capabilities include a new streamlined user interface supporting both the Windows and Mac operating systems, including support for Internet Explorer, Safari, and Firefox browsers, as well as integrated export functionality to H.264, Flash, or MPEG-4. In addition, several enhancements have been made to the search engine and scheduled recording module.

The Observer product family now includes the budget-conscious Observer Professional, the Observer Enterprise for broadcasting facilities, and the Observer Plus for large production facilities.

Also on display has been Observer RPM
The Observer RPM (Remote Program Monitor) provides quality-of-experience monitoring for IPTV, MSOs, independent cable operators, and satellite operators who need to evaluate NOC/headend and remote hubsite broadcasts automatically from a central location. The Observer RPM is a post set-top box solution that scans hundreds of channels around the clock and automatically tests signal integrity, issues alerts (via e-mail and SNMP), and captures the problematic content when channels do not conform to prespecified limits.
