OSLO, Norway - 8 August 2016

In addition to unveiling a number of new products that set unique standards of scalability, ease of use and portability in the monitoring, management and optimisation of IP networks, Bridge Technologies will continue to showcase its ability to help its customers ensure high-quality, profitable digital media service delivery in broadcast, cable, satellite, OTT and telecoms applications.

At IBC, we'll be demonstrating several exciting new products as well as our award-winning range of solutions that are compatible with all major industry standards, ruggedised for reliability in challenging environments, and built for low-energy operation, said Simen K. Frostad, Chairman, Bridge Technologies. We're looking forward to showing visitors how we can help them to manage complexity, to achieve greater efficiency and to improve service quality.

Our development team has created unprecedented new technology achievements this past 12 months that give the industry a complete, coherent system solution for any media need from the broadcast studio to the user's home, continued Frostad. We are very excited to be showing this at IBC.

The new products and capabilities Bridge Technologies will announce at IBC include:

Bridge Technologies will also showcase:

Remote Data Wall (RDW)

The Remote Data Wall (RDW) provides a more powerful way to create a customised flight deck' of data instruments through an easy-to-use widget toolkit. The RDW, which won NewBay Media's Best of Show Award at NAB 2016 for its technology, is a versatile and adaptable tool for creating a monitoring display in the control centre that can be accessed from any securely connected location.

Timeline

Timeline data analysis stores all the data collected through the monitoring system (and other sources if connected) for up to two years of operation, and allows engineers to review historical data in detail at any time in a multi-track timeline display similar to a non-linear editing system.

The ability to play through data recorded over a period of several months or years allows users to see recurring patterns that may be invisible over a shorter timescale.

After an acute' event such as a service failure, for example, the engineering team can use Timeline to review all the data gathered by the entire monitoring system to analyse the chain of events that led up to the failure and generate reports for remedial action or the fulfillment of SLA obligations.

Omega

Omega is a newly-introduced service that provides customers with a number of key opportunities. These include remote hands-on technical support; in-depth education; automated off-site data backup; system-wide automated software updates; and a planning and provisioning consultancy package.

For each customer, Omega provides a direct connection with a dedicated Bridge Technologies expert who is fully knowledgeable about the customer's configuration and can intervene remotely to resolve problems.

Recognising that, occasionally, customers suffer a knowledge deficit - especially in the fast-moving world of digital media technology - Omega also provides customer engineers with the opportunity to receive in-depth education that supports improved strategic decision-making.

The automated services component of Omega is a continuous, proactive examination that collects statistics from the customer system, and performs predictive analytics on system health. This allows Omega staff to make recommendations on system optimisation that can help eliminate problems before they occur.
