Bridge Technologies announces their participation in this September’s IBC, where they will be demonstrating their powerful range of broadcast monitoring solutions, with a particular focus on supporting broadcasters in their transition to IP production and delivery.
Bridge will be using the opportunity to give the first public demonstration of their new 6.1 software solution harmonising the full suite of Broadcast IP probes, along with SCTE 104/35 marker monitoring, and the award-winning signal generation functionality.
In relation to the 6.1 release, this integrates what was previously two separate components; namely probe and extractor software, and allows for both to be deployed across embedded, appliance or software solutions. This harmonisation is in keeping with the Bridge Technologies development philosophy, which seeks to maintain a consistent architecture across the entire suite of products, whilst continually moving to tweak and extend the functionalities offered. This both ensures that clients can integrate multiple probes as needed – across IP, Satellite, OTT, Cable and Terrestrial – and still be sure of reliable, cohesive and coordinated end-to-end monitoring. But more than this, it ensures that clients are always delivered the highest value and service, by avoiding the constant release of new products, and instead facilitating continuous improvement to the existing range across the board.
The new release significantly improves the capacity of the probes range, increasing OTT and ETR, and content monitoring from 100 streams to 1000. In addition, a range of new functionalities has been introduced, including the ability to receive and transmit SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) – an increasingly important transport standard that maintains low latency over noisy networks, with high speed and extensive error correction. Version 6.1 will allow for all the standard multicast monitoring functions (such as bitrate and content on the timeline, where the model supports it) to be applied to SRT streams, as well as facilitating SRT encapsulation in RDP.
In addition to these SRT functionalities, version 6.1 allows the VB246 input card to accommodate six ASI inputs in parallel, giving a total of 13 in one unit. With the addition of JPEG XS decoding, QoE metrics (and timeline display where valid) for OTT streams, content checks for ASI and RF streams (including freeze and black frame detection), and improved terrestrial monitoring of DVBT/T2 (including T2MI checks, frequency measurements and modulation checks), version 6.1 brings unparalleled versatility to the full suite of Bridge Products – and represents the cornerstone of the ‘Integrated Services Monitoring’ (ISM) approach that Bridge have been promoting to broadcasters with increasingly complex and multifaceted broadcast setups.
The international exhibition and conference on telecommunications and technologies IBC 2022 will be held on September 9-12 in the Netherlands, Amsterdam, Amsterdam RAI.
