Broadcast Facility Control

Broadcast-business is changing every day. To remain successful and competitive broadcasters are in urgent need to implement reliable software solutions that provide umbrellamanagement for heterogenous networks and systems and make devices in such a hardware agnostic multi vendor environment like Multiplex & Playout Centers (DVB/ATSC-T, -S, -C, and IPTV) and Broadcast networks (contribution as well as distribution) talk and work together.

Configures, controls and monitors devices within a broadcast facility: BOSS BROADCAST Manager^®Automatic generation of SI/PSI tables with an intuitive GUI: BOSS EPG Generator^®

With BOSS BROADCAST Manager^®Dimetis provides a centralized management-system which monitors and controls all components in a network or multiplex center. It is a hardware agnostic, multi vendor environment control system, which allows for dynamic configuration of services (dynamic PMT). Services can be represented, configured and if necessary switched in case of a failure in different backup mode. The whole network is shown in an intuitive GUI. All faults and alarms occurring in the network are logged in a centralized or cascading manner. Alarm correlation/de-duplication, root-cause-analysis is performed and the defected units of networks elements are isolated. BOSS BROADCAST Manager^® manages tri-medial distribution of signal within the same platform: that is TV, radio and internet streaming.

With the integrated BOSS EPG Generator^®all inputs, internal processing and outputs of SI configuration data can also be seemlessly monitored. SI configuration related faults are recognized automatically by BOSS BROADCAST Manager^®which can then initiate a switch-over to the backup- BOSS EPG Generator®.

Also any VPS SI data synchronization can be fully integrated into the solution. If a change occurs in the VPS labels (with or without automation system), BEG will then receive a telegram which will be autopopulated to EIT p/f.
