WIN secures peace of mind with Pixelmetrix DVB-T Monitoring Solution


WEBWIRE

Singapore, – Australia’s largest regional television broadcaster, WIN Television has chosen the Pixelmetrix DVStation-Mini² DVB-T, a fully featured monitoring probe, to monitor DVB-T services at WIN transmission sites across Australia. To be supplied and installed by local distributor, Techtel, the DVStation-Mini² DVB-T systems will provide unparalleled visibility into the quality of service reaching WIN’s network-wide audience.

The DVStation-Mini² DVB-T offers high quality DVB-T RF measurements and in-depth TS analysis, providing WIN with 24/7 operational monitoring and assurance of the quality and continuity of their DVB-T services. The intuitive system will also generate video thumbnails for H.264 video streams in both SD and HD.

“We are very pleased to be working with WIN on this project. Joining our DVB-T customers worldwide, they too will immediately benefit from greater visibility of service-affecting issues that our DVStation provides. The unattended remote control capability is particularly useful across their wide and hostile geographic coverage area,” said Danny Wilson, President and CEO, Pixelmetrix Corporation.

With a transmission span covering more geographic area than any other broadcaster in the world, WIN’s digital network required a solution that was able to effectively monitor and log data collected from a widespread selection of monitoring points within their DTT network topology. “Pixelmetrix were prepared to listen to our specific requirements, even offering to adapt their product to provide the results we needed,” said Transmission Broadcast Director at WIN Corporation, Greg Lederhose. “Their flexibility, coupled with a product that is easy-to-use and which offered us all the monitoring features we needed, was ultimately what lead us to this decision. Pixelmetrix delivered their systems promptly and have done an excellent job,” he added.

Pixelmetrix will showcase its leading Test, Measurement & Monitoring solutions at SMPTE Australia from July 19 to 22, Booth G35. Demo highlights include the Electronic Couch Potato™ Video Quality Index™, Consolidator, StationView, DVStation-IP³, DVStor² and DVStation-Mini² DVB-T. Pixelmetrix goes to SMPTE Australia with Techtel, the authorized distributor in Australia.
