Triveni Digital At the
SCTE Cable-Tec Expo® 2010, Triveni Digital will showcase a variety of product
releases that give cable operators greater versatility in DTV monitoring, analysis,
and management.
Throughout the show, the company will highlight the enhanced
usability, decoding capabilities, alerts, and reporting functions within the new
StreamScope® RM-40 2.0 software release and demonstrate the StreamScope MT-40
4.6 release, which boasts new analysis features and a robust tool-set for audio
loudness and monitoring in compliance with the CALM Act.
Triveni Digital
will also demonstrate its industry-leading GuideBuilder® PSIP/SI metadata
management system and new features tailored to the cable market. New
Products From Triveni Digital at the SCTE Cable-Tec Expo® 2010 GuideBuilder®
PSIP/SI Generation System
As cable operators move to deploy clear QAM
digital basic lineups, the Triveni Digital GuideBuilder® system provides all
the tools they require to get channel and guide information to those customers
with digital televisions with built in clear-QAM tuners, as well as those with
basic, non-decrypting, digital set-top boxes (STBs). The system's virtual channel
map allows channel numbers to be the same for customers with or without a box,
enabling operators to ensure that the transition to "all digital" is
seamless for subscribers.
GuideBuilder also gives clear QAM customers
channel branding and an Extended Program Guide (EPG). Throughout the expo, Triveni
Digital will demonstrate this functionality and highlight other new features of
the GuideBuilder targeted to the cable market. The GuideBuilder is the industry
leader in PSIP generation and management, today serving as the most deployed PSIP
server product in the United States and the rest of the world. StreamScope®
MT-40 4.6 With Support for CALM
Triveni Digital's StreamScope®
line already boasts audio monitoring capabilities including dialnorm. At the SCTE
Cable-Tec Expo® 2010, Triveni Digital will showcase the new StreamScope MT-40
4.6 software release that allows users to monitor audio loudness according to
ITU-R Recommendation BS.1770 (as required by A/85) and meets the requirements
of the CALM (Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation) Act.
The MT-40
allows operators to measure individual audio channel loudness, provides dialnorm
loudness monitoring and error reporting, and plots short- and long-term loudness
values — all on a single screen. Additional enhancements include analysis
as per the DVB-C and DVB-T standards, MDI analysis on a generic GigE input, improved
support for ISDB streams, and a slider for control over the size of video thumbnails. StreamScope®
RM-40 2.0 Software Release
At the SCTE Cable-Tec Expo® 2010, Triveni
Digital will showcase the StreamScope® RM-40 2.0 software release, which introduces
several new features designed to minimize operating costs for cable operators
while addressing key issues in the delivery of a quality viewing experience.
A
full featured, comprehensive, 24/7 unattended remote monitoring instrument that
monitors real-time DTV streams, the RM-40 platform also offers the industry's
most sophisticated digital video troubleshooting tools to support efficient problem
isolation and repair. Live Services Manager
Among
the enhancements offered in version 2.0 are Live Services Manager and thumbnail
views of the RM-40 real-time stream monitoring appliance that enable users to
confirm with a quick glance that video is present. Further simplifying monitoring
operations, newly added decoding of closed-captioning data, with rules-based alerts
if data falls out of compliance, reduces the manual workload necessary to maintain
required closed-captioning information.
The StreamScope RM-40 2.0 software
release also decodes Active Format Description (AFD) data to indicate the proper
aspect ratio conversions between formats. Enhanced
Rules Set
Additionally, automatic transport-type detection allows
rule clusters to be applied based on transport type (MPEG-only, ATSC, DVB-SI,
etc.) and, in turn, supports enhanced reporting on stream status. If the encryption
state should change, or if anticipated messages, such as SCTE-35 messages for
DPI, do not arrive, the system alerts the operator.
The RM-40's extensive
real-time monitoring and alert capabilities are valuable in DTV carriage auditing
and maintaining service level agreements.
