A highly adaptable television signal and network monitoring system, iControl from Grass Valley is compatible with multiple advanced electronic supervision technologies, including Monitoring by Exception. It offers electronic probing with macroblock detection, lip sync error and content mismatch detection using video/audio fingerprints. Leveraging SNMP and monitoring rich visual and acoustic monitoring, it enables highly customized monitoring and control systems for broadcasters and pay TV operators, including advanced, end-to-end Network Management Systems.
CHALLENGE: Create the world's first all-IP, UHD OB fleet.
SOLUTION: Grass Valley and Arena, with technology partner Cisco, designed a network topology using a spine and leaf configuration, based around a 2.88 Tb/s Nexus switch.
BENEFITS: OBX is completely flexible, format-wise, and can be configured for 4K UHD, 3G, HD, even SD, without the need to re-cable.
Lighter payload compared with Quad-SDI solutions, and equipment can be distributed more evenly around the OB truck (unlike a conventional SDI router).
