Ideal Systems Installs Mediaproxy ASI Compliance Logging System in Singapore

Ideal Systems Installs Mediaproxy ASI Compliance Logging System in Singapore 17 Apr 2013

Ideal Systems Singapore has recently completed the first installation in Singapore of Mediaproxys global leading LogServer ASI system, at GlobeCast Asia. Ideal Systems provided a next generation solution for broadcast compliance logging and monitoring for GlobeCasts multichannel playout facility in Singapore. The highly reliable platform provides recording and live monitoring of video and audio channels and real-time data sources. Using LogServer, recorded content may be reviewed and managed long after the event for legal and commercial compliance requirements and competitive analysis.

The highly scalable LogServer deployed at GlobeCast Asia uses cutting-edge Web interfaces. The solution records media across multiple channels as the content is broadcast, containing all essential metadata including multiple language tracks as well as decoding and exact positioning of DVB Subtitling, a highly important feature in Southeast Asia.

LogServer ASI allows for ingest of these signals in their multiplexed transport formats (MPTS). Program streams and associated sub-streams will be automatically or selectively recorded in both proxy and native MPEG formats. In comparison to traditional baseband solutions, LogServer ASI offers recording of actual transmission data providing a true representation of transmissions for regulatory requirements.

LogServer ASI allows the user to access all metadata present in the transport stream and provides a much richer logging and monitoring experience compared to the significantly smaller amount of metadata available in baseband solutions, said Fintan Mc Kiernan, CEO, Ideal Systems Singapore. Logging via ASI or IP is highly cost effective as it eliminates much of the traditional hardware infrastructure required with baseband compliance logging systems. The flexibility and cost effectiveness of the system is proving to be very appealing to broadcasters. Ideal Systems is already commissioning a second LogServer ASI system for another major broadcaster in Singapore.

Mediaproxy, which is currently being used on over 5,000 channels globally, has partnered successfully with Ideal Systems over the last eight years for deployments that include companies like TVB and Phoenix in Hong Kong; NextMedia, DaaiTV, and GoodTV in Taiwan; Grammy in Thailand; and TATASky, CNBC, and Century Communications in India.
