At the 2016 NAB Show New York, Triveni Digital will demonstrate its metadata generation and transport stream analysis platforms with support for ATSC 3.0. ATSC 3.0 is designed to support advanced service guides, advanced emergency communications, and customized local news program delivery.
Triveni's approach is intended to enable broadcasters to migrate to ATSC 3.0 while still supporting the current broadcast infrastructure. Featured products at the show will include the StreamScope XM Monitoring and Analysis System and the GuideBuilder XM Signaling and Announcement Generator.
The StreamScope XM is designed for analysis of ATSC 3.0 streams and data structures. It's intended to let broadcasters configure analysis rules, select performance parameters, customize dashboards, and resize charts and graphs with on-site and Internet access. Through the system's web-based interface, users can view current and historical reports for postmortem analyses.
The GuideBuilder XM offers unified functionality per the ATSC 3.0 candidate standard, along with support for legacy standards such as ATSC 1.0 PSIP and DVB-SI. It's designed to support third-party interfaces and deployment architectures to enable broadcasters to automatically ingest schedule updates from listing services, apply them to services, and output program and service guide data to third-party multiplexers. It also supports ROUTE and MMTP encoding options. Through the system, broadcasters can manage metadata across multiple stations. Using the system for channel sharing, broadcasters can unify the generation and management of metadata via centralized, distributed, or cloud workflows.
