Future-Ready Features Combined with Scalability, Ease of Management, and a Low Total Cost of Ownership Make MonitorIQ BMS a Compelling Broadcast Monitoring Solution for Organizations of All Sizes
Digital Nirvana, Inc., a California-based provider of media industry solutions, today unveiled MonitorIQ Broadcast Monitoring System (MonitorIQ BMS), a cutting-edge solution that includes a number of unique features not available in other commercial products. MonitorIQ BMS is a next-generation broadcast monitoring system with a rich set of capabilities that handle signal monitoring, logging, archiving, content repurposing, and competitive analysis - with an underlying scalable design that helps broadcasters improve their productivity and bottom line.
Each MonitorIQ BMS appliance incorporates a multi-channel recorder, from one to four built-in intelligent tuners, and customizable storage. Broadcasters can add more appliances to the network as needed, to monitor dozens or even hundreds of channels. Tuners automatically switch channels based on the recording schedule, and only a single signal input is needed. Each MonitorIQ BMS tuner is capable of simultaneously recording all subchannels on each DTV channel in standard definition or HD, and recordings can be retrieved and repurposed in many formats - including Flash, MPG-2, MPG-4, and H.264.
“With a challenging economic climate and new online competitors, broadcasters are increasingly under pressure to streamline operations while delivering content to new locations in new formats,” commented Digital Nirvana President and Chief Executive Officer Hiren Hindocha. With included adapters for the most popular broadcast business systems, MonitorIQ TMS integrates and automates previously manual interfaces and tasks. The ability to ingest ratings and advertising rate data allows broadcasters to do competitive analysis in-house, saving the expense of external intelligence service subscriptions.
A central, Web-based interface makes it easy to remotely set up recording schedules or review broadcast content, regardless of media location or number of appliances on the network. With no license limits on the number of clients, staff can access recorded content or schedule recordings from any location, at the station or remotely, from any browser-equipped device.
Digital Nirvana staff will demonstrate MonitorIQ BMS at the 2009 NAB Show in Booth SU8808, located on the upper level of the South Hall. Full product details are also available at www.digital-nirvana.com/MonitorIQ.php.
