OmniTek and Pixelmetrix alliance bears fruit

Innovative test and measurement manufacturer, OmniTek, and award-winning preventative monitoring company Pixelmetrix, have announced the launch of Quality Auditor, the first fruit of their ongoing strategic alliance that was announced earlier this year at NAB.
Quality Auditor is a brand new, feature-rich product benefiting from the latest technologies from both companies.
Modern broadcast facilities are increasingly automated and the question of quality control is paramount. Quality Auditor allows the monitoring of digital video, embedded audio and metadata and the logging of those analyses against timecode. The combination of Pixelmetrix’ picture quality analysis software with OmniTek’s PC-based solution further allows users to identify potential compression problems while the signal is still in the SDI domain. By providing real-time evaluation of video compression quality for every frame, along with the aforementioned audio and metadata analysis, problems can be detected prior to transmission.
With both individual alarms able to be set for every individual component – these are fully user-definable – and a full report of all errors logged against timecode able to be output as a XML file, Quality Auditor allows users to tackle any quality issues at the ingest point in a fully automated manner, saving both time and money. This development brings full quality analysis back into the studio environment. Potential applications include any environment where picture quality is important.
Quality Auditor can also be deployed on the playout side to raise alarms, when any number of user-defined parameters are exceeded.
Mike Hodson, managing director of OmniTek, said: “The development of Quality Auditor is a direct response to discussions that we have had with our customers. There is a clear need for this comprehensive quality management tool and Pixelmetrix and OmniTek are pleased see the first fruits of what promises to be a productive alliance come to market.”
