Features of the newest version of Digital Nirvana’s Monitor IQ Version 3.1 include SDI playout, flexible content archiving, real-time newscast exporting, watermark NAVE decoding, centralised management, Dolby E audio standard support, director’s audio track and H.264 video format support.
The Monitor IQ monitoring system is divided into four packages based on individual needs, and offers an efficient architecture that reduces operation costs and lowers the total cost of ownership.
Monitor IQ Starter is an entry-level package that offers all the logging functionality necessary for a one- to two-channel system and includes 90 days of low-resolution storage. Searching is based upon keywords, titles, subtitles, descriptions, textual metadata, closed-caption text and imported logs, with filtering by time, date and channel. Recordings can be easily edited, clipped, stored and sent via email or FTP.
A logging and monitoring system, Monitor IQ Essentials includes all the functionality necessary for broadcasters to ensure regulatory compliance. Loudness monitoring for CALM Act compliance is a standard feature. It also includes support for IP as an input source.
Monitor IQ Plus includes all of the features found within Essentials and adds several new enhancements including the ability to connect and control Monitor IQ via an iPad, iPhone, or Android interface. This mobile feature makes it easy for field sales reps to show clients their ad content in the context of the broadcast programming. Other new features include centralized management and a web services (REST) API.
Monitor IQ Premier extends beyond the capabilities found in the other packages with innovative, new monitoring features such as ad insertion verification and validation, adaptive bit-rate/OTT streaming, and SDV/on-demand monitoring. It also includes such features as director’s audio track, advanced metadata harvesting, and integration with third party routers, multi-viewers, TS analyzers, and traffic and automaton platforms.
MediaPro IQ is Digital Nirvana’s content repurposing system for multi-platform distribution. The solution is designed for news and sports directors who frequently repurpose content from cable channels, and allows users to record encrypted cable feeds for content repurposing and rebroadcasting. MediaPro IQ users can easily edit, clip, and publish live or recorded content in real-time. By intelligently using cable card technology, MediaPro IQ records encrypted cable feeds in full HD. The solution is compatible with a variety of web browsers, and has the ability to interface with iPad, iPhone and Android. Video can be exported to Flash, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, and XDCAM and other formats for content repurposing.
