At IBC in Amsterdam, Volicon will be showing Version 7.0 of its Observer transport stream (TS) MPEG transport stream logging and monitoring system. The system has been enhanced to accommodate more inputs, including ASI, QAM, 8-VSB, and DVB-T MPEG TS interfaces. User interfaces have been simplified as well. Demos will focus on how the Observer 7.0 system allows users to log MPEG transport streams continuously, as well as monitor A/V content including BS.1770-2 loudness and other correlations of data and video.Volicon will also demonstrate its Observer Scout logging and monitoring solution, newly equipped with loudness monitoring. The Observer Scout is a low-cost A/V monitoring, logging, and troubleshooting system designed for proactive content-based monitoring. The new loudness monitoring module adds BS-1770-2, EBU R128, and ATSC A/85.Volicon modules highlighted at IBC will include triggered recording and international loudness logging and measurement.
