Digital Nirvana System Ensures Confident 4 7 Monitoring of Live Feeds at Discovery Communications

Digital Nirvana, a provider of monitoring, compliance and content repurposing systems for broadcast, cable, and satellite networks, has announced that Discovery Communications selected its Monitor IQ broadcast monitoring system. The system will be used to provide 24/7 confidence monitoring for 45 live channels for Discovery North Americas broadcast operations.

ASI functionality means less hardware for across the North America services and provides greater data metrics with regards to DPI and CALM logging, said Tim Mazzacua, Director, TOC Operations, Discovery Communications, Inc. By reducing the total equipment footprint, we can free up valuable rack space. Additionally, the Digital Nirvana system gives us a much better idea of what our customers are actually seeing.

Arco Groenenberg, director of sales and marketing for Broadcast Products, Digital Nirvana, said Monitor IQ provides unique benefits to large, subscriber-based networks: Networks run the risk of losing subscribers if there are frequent signal losses. Often the provider doesnt know theres a signal loss until a customer reports the problem. Monitor IQ lets operators keep track of their channel feeds and react to any signal loss or impairment before customers call.

We look forward to a continued successful relationship with Discovery, he continued, and ensuring the networks programming is delivered to its customers at the highest possible quality 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
