Volicon Unveils New Module for Selective Recording of Specific Programs or Time Slots
Volicon has a new module for
its award-winning Observer desktop video monitoring and recording solution that
enables scheduled, selective recording of specific broadcast channels within
designated time periods. Supplementing the Observer's built-in ability to
monitor and record multiple video channels automatically around the clock, the
Scheduled Recording Module makes it easy for broadcasters to pick specific
timeslots or programs to record for a variety of purposes. Volicon is
exhibiting at IBC2008 at Stand 7.H09.
"The Observer has set
the standard as a digital solution for logging and monitoring of aired content,
bringing new levels of efficiency to such tasks as monitoring and
troubleshooting transmissions, ensuring compliance, verifying advertising
broadcasts, and tracking and analyzing viewer ratings," said Julius Perl,
vice president of marketing at Volicon. "The Scheduled Recording Module is
designed for those instances when broadcasters don't need to scan and record
sequentially, but only need to record a specific program or timeslot — such as
everything airing on a particular channel during prime-time hours."
The Observer Scheduled
Recording Module provides the ability to control set-top boxes and other tuning
devices with infrared interfaces, enabling broadcasters and cable operators to
select programs by date and time through a calendar application or from a
downloadable electronic program guide (EPG). For broadcasters that subscribe to
an EPG service, the Observer's intuitive user interface displays the EPG
information exactly as it would appear in its native format, with easy-to-use
checkboxes for selecting specific channels to record.
In addition, the Scheduled
Recording Module alerts operators in the event of an overlap between two or
more program selections and provides options for adjusting the schedule. For
Observer systems with two or four video connections, the module automatically
selects an available port when there is an overlap on a previously scheduled
port.
The Scheduled Recording
Module works in conjunction with the Volicon Observer and Observer RPM systems.
