Singapore, Singapore (PressExposure) March 17, 2010 -- Automated Channel Package Audit performs automatic, unattended verification of channel packages - a vital and time saving improvement for both operators and content owners while eliminating time-consuming and expensive manual audits of channel packages.
Danny Wilson, President and CEO of Pixelmetrix said, "Both cost optimization and verifying payments are properly made against aired content, are still high in the minds of our customers. We are excited about how this latest application to the flexible ECP platform further helps our customers optimize both cost and operations."
Multi-region networks with central headends and a greatly increased universe of channel options has made it difficult for multi-channel operators to prove to content owners that the correct channels appear in the correct tiers. Until now, correct channel tiering audits needed error-prone manual scanning by human operators. Not anymore.
Deployed at a central or regional headend, the Pixelmetrix ECP continuously scans through all channels and reports any channels that are there but not supposed to be, as well as channels that are not there but are supposed to be. With that, operators can use the remote telepresence feature to remotely view the channel for positive confirmation. Automating this important task frees up operations personnel to focus on more pressing responsibilities.
Other highlights at the Pixelmetrix booth will include a host of solutions featuring ATSC Monitoring, Transport Stream Archival & Compliance Recording, Contribution Monitoring, Time-shifting with Logo Insertion, IP Headend Monitoring, Satellite Downlink Monitoring and End-to-End IPTV Quality of Service Monitoring.
Pixelmetrix develops a host of IPTV and Preventive Monitoring systems that offer unique attributes and versatility, allowing operators to achieve end-to-end visibility and keep tabs on their network architecture.
NAB 2010 will be held from April 12 to 15, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
