Qligent And GatesAir To Collaborate For Broadcast Asia Presentation

Qligent COO Ted Korte and GatesAir's TV Transmission Product Manager Martyn Horspool are joining forces to deliver a presentation on next-gen TV monitoring at Broadcast Asia in Singapore, 26-28 June.

They will present 'Transformative Monitoring Strategies for Next-Gen Over-the-Air Networks' with a focus on viable monitoring solutions and strategies for next-generation TV broadcasters.

The presentation is scheduled for 26 June from 4:40pm to 5:00pm at the IABM Theatre.

Located at the Suntec Centre's Innovation Hub (6Q3-04), the presentation will outline a modern approach to stream and signal monitoring in next-gen OTA networks. It will also include real-world use-cases that delve into changing QoS/QoE parameters, compliance monitoring and other issues emerging beyond traditional RF performance monitoring.
 
Together, Mr Korte and Horspool combine expertise in transmission and cloud-based monitoring with the aim of modernising the end-to-end terrestrial delivery chain.

In a combined statement, they said: "What was once a manageable, end-to-end distribution model has given way to a more complex, multi-faceted and multi-platform operation. This poses many challenges that can negatively impact the broadcasters' Quality of Service (QoS) and their viewers' Quality of Experience (QoE). Session attendees will learn about new methods for efficiently collecting, aggregating, correlating and managing the massive data sets associated with the proliferating sub-systems, stream types, and bitrates of dynamic digital media delivery network architectures."
 
Qligent recently added advanced delivery analytics to its cloud-based Vision platform to give users the benefit of insightful data about their end-to-end service, including program content, distribution chain service quality, consumer behaviour and other parameters, to gain a data-driven competitive advantage. GatesAir optimises Vision for Next-Gen OTA networks through its Maxiva StreamAssure platform, ideally deployed along its solid-state transmitters to support QoS/QoE and compliance monitoring in ATSC 1.0/3.0, DVB-T/T2 and ISDB-T/Tb networks.
 
The benefits of GatesAir and Qligent technology partnership will be addressed by Mr Horspool, an industry veteran with over 42 years' experience in broadcast engineering and related fields. He is also a frequent speaker at trade shows worldwide, including the annual NAB Show and Broadcast Asia. GatesAir will demonstrate StreamAssure and other TV and radio solutions at Stand 4Q3-01.
 
According to Stan Moote, CTO for The IABM: "There were over four times the number of submissions by IABM members than speaking slots. Our IABM Theatre Committee selected [this presentation] and I am honoured to open the session with such an esteemed group of industry experts."
 
Other topical sessions taking place that day on The IABM Theatre stage include: Matthew Goldman (SMPTE President and SVP Technology for Ericsson Media Solutions) discussing the 'Benefits of transforming to All IP'; Baskar Subramanian (Amagi Media Labs Pvt Ltd) on 'Machine Learning in Broadcast'; and Metaliquid's Tommaso Cesano on 'AI Video Analysis'.
