iControl Web

Customized, end-to-end facility monitoring

iControl Web


iControl Web is a highly adaptable television signal and network monitoring system, with multiple advanced electronic supervision technologies, including Monitoring by Exception, and sophisticated electronic probing with macro-block detection, lip sync error and content mismatch detection using video/audio fingerprints. Based on SNMP with rich visual and acoustic monitoring, it can be used to create highly customized monitoring systems for broadcasters and pay TV operators, including advanced, end-to-end Network Management Systems.

  • End-to-end monitoring

  • iControl Web is the most complete end-to-end, signal and facility monitoring system for broadcasters and television service providers
  • All the elements involved in the production, processing, and playout of television signals can be controlled from a single, integrated GUI

  • Top quality user interface

  • Highly graphical views, with full motion and high quality streaming video, allow operators to quickly identify and respond to alarms, and thereby reduce the Mean Time to Repair (MTTR)
  • System is geared towards simplifying operations so that a single user can control more channels or a broader range of monitoring tasks
  • Interface can be configured with multiple levels appropriate to different tasks:
    • Geographic View provides multi-site viewing
    • Operational View offers a closer view of a facility
    • Maintenance Views provide even closer device and signal level monitoring

  • Full scalability

  • Easily scales from small projects, with a few signals in a single room, to the largest systems with hundreds of services across multiple locations.
  • Monitoring by Exception allows operators to focus their attention on television channels with alarm conditions, without distraction from correctly functioning channels

  • SNMP monitoring plus embedded applications

  • High level of control and monitoring of Miranda and third party devices by combining SNMP control protocols with feedback from full motion and high quality streaming video
  • With its SNMP Manager functions, iControl Web interfaces to all SNMP-enabled devices, and users can establish their own SNMP interfaces
  • A higher level of control of third party devices is achieved by embedding their native applications in the GUI, and these can be automatically presented by device alarms to speed up response times

  • Network Management System (NMS)

  • By correlating information from multiple signals and systems, iControl Web offers advanced alarm management which helps operators deal with the large volumes of alarms generated in large facilities
  • Multiple events can be managed as a whole, with related alarms automatically grouped under a single "umbrella".
  • Multiple users can work together in a co-ordinated manner to troubleshoot complex networks and multiple alarms

  • Auto-pilot capability

  • Auto-pilot capability, driven by Scripted Macros, can guide operators through complex diagnostics, and can provide automatic reaction to failures. For instance, in the event of a failure of the transmission stream, a backup signal path can be activated
