Comux UK and Techex select Sencore for the UK's latest DTT Monitoring Solution
15/06/2017
Key factors in this decision included field-proven reliability and Sencores RDP (Return Data Path) functionality over IP. This enables Comux to have significantly greater visibility of their entire network than traditional methods have offered. Comux will use the VideoBRIDGE system to monitor DVB-T transmissions on a full-time basis, enabling transmission errors to be quickly detected and corrected before they impact viewers.
Sencores UK business partner Techex will integrate the Sencore IP Distribution Monitoring Blade (VB120) and DVB-T/T2 RF Interface (VB252) monitoring into Comuxs NMS system. In addition, the equipment will interface to Spotlight , a dedicated user portal designed to allow Comuxs broadcast customers to see at a glance the health of their entire transmission chain. This portal will be available on PCs, tablets and mobile telephones.
We needed to find a reliable and dedicated monitoring platform. Winning the Ofcom license to build, operate and manage the local TV multiplex is an important and long term endeavour for Comux and we look to partners such as Techex and Sencore to assist in our success over the next 12 years, said Chris Romilly, Chief Technical Officer at Comux UK.
Commenting on the choice, Richard Scott from Techex said, We are highly excited to partner with Comux on such a new and important platform. The stability and quality of the transmitted signal will be critical to Local TV. On behalf of Comux, we reviewed the monitoring solutions available on the market and truly believe that Sencores solution will deliver a lasting, high quality service for the L-DTPS licensees and the national broadcasters. Combined with Comuxs next generation, IP centric distribution network and other class leading components, Comux will have one of the most advanced DTT transmission networks in the UK.
The VB252 is available as a blade that fits into a Sencore VB200 chassis and is controlled by either the VB220 or VB120 probe. These components, working in tandem with other blades and probes that make up the VideoBRIDGE monitoring system, enable operators to gain a unique insight into their video delivery systems from ingest to the end customer.
