R&S PRISMON Tested For Unified Origin Compatibility

Rohde & Schwarz has announced that its R&S PRISMON monitoring and multiviewer solution has successfully been tested for compatibility for Unified Origin from Unified Streaming.

Unified Origin is an all-in-one solution for media content streaming. It creates HDS, HLS, MPEG-DASH and MSS formats dynamically from a single source. OTT providers use this solution to process their content for delivery to mobile devices. Unified Origin offers advanced features for adding multiple audio codecs such as Dolby Digital Plus (E-AC-3), DTS Express and Fraunhofer HE-AAC v2 (multichannel).

R&S PRISMON successfully received and monitored in detail all common OTT protocols, including HLS and MPEG-DASH. The solution automatically monitors transmitted broadcast and streaming media content in parallel.

Bjoern Schmid, Director of R&D Monitoring & Analysis at Rohde & Schwarz, said: "Unified Origin is already very successful in the marketplace. We are pleased that the solution has proven compatible with our R&S PRISMON and that it adds a unique set of features."

"Automated monitoring of a multiprotocol OTT stack typically is hard to do", added Dirk Griffioen, CEO, Unified Streaming. "We're excited this has now become possible with the new R&S PRISMON."

R&S PRISMON supports transport standards such as SDI, AIMS/SMPTE 2110, SMPTE 2022-6, ASPEN, SMPTE 2022-1/2, HLS, HSS and DASH as well as media formats such as MPEG-2/4, HEVC and TICO. Users can add new standards and media formats via software upgrades. R&S PRISMON automatically detects dropouts and content errors in realtime, using monitoring functions such as "video freeze with whitelisting" and "video content compare".

The monitoring and multiviewer solution is available in various hardware configurations and as a cloud-based installation.
