The broadcasting industry may very well enjoy these new systems scheduled to be unveiled by Video Clarity at the NAB Show in Las Vegas from April 20-23, 2009. Broadcasters and Manufacturers use the Real-Time Monitoring (RTM) system to continuously examine their signals and monitor their re-broadcasters.

RTM saves valuable man-hours by vigilantly comparing streams and reporting frozen frames, breakups, loss of audio & video, and A/V synchronization. It measures the digital uncompressed signals after the receiving gear (normally a Set-top Box and a Satellite IRD) has performed error correction/concealment. It does a bit-for-bit comparison of the audio, video, and VANC. All discrepancies - transmission, encoding, or decoding – are logged.

“Video Clarity is committed to making automated, real-time A/V quality monitoring a reality,” said Blake Homan, President of Video Clarity. “RTM saves valuable man-hours by monitoring the quality looking for anomalies in the audio, video, and VANC, and it never gets tired or takes a day off.”
