Various Inputs

A TV or Radio program is often transmitted over various platforms: Local SDI contribution, ASI at the output of the multiplexer, terrestrial, satellite, IPTV and OTT…

The integration or numerous physical interfaces as well as the common codecs allows LYRAE to monitor your streams on all the formats you use without requiring extra conversion equipments upstream.

Ergonomic

LYRAE’s operator is at the center of the monitoring mission and LYRAE has been conceived from start to adapt to the needs of its users.

Also, tools have been added to alleviate the inherent challenges of the monitoring task. For example, when the number of thumbnails on the screen start to be large, it can be difficult to keep track of the channels with alarms. The penalty box (or quarantine zone) allows to set a specific part of the multiviewer for dynamically displaying services with errors. Just a glimpse is enough to check the state of these services.

Designed for easy integration

Monitoring is a vital part of the production system. It is therefore essential that it integrates perfectly with that system.

In order to link the monitoring to the rest of the production infrastructure, LYRAE comes with SNMP support. And when a deeper integration is required, LYRAE provides an API that allows to control the multiviewer and get access to the state of each monitored service.

In addition, a scripting language allows each customer to fine tune the behaviour of the multiviewer. Generation of specific alarms, integration with the external events, displaying custom graphical elements are exemples of what is possible.

And finally, an Dataminer driver already exists making it easy to add all the monitoring data coming from LYRAE to the Dataminer views. That includes, alarms, statistics and thumbnails.
