Properties
Barco’s Networked Broadcast Monitoring System (NBMS) enables operators to monitor their broadcast processes
and visualize video content in real-time from anywhere in the facility. This innovative solution allows high-
quality, low latency distribution of video sources and metadata over an IP network towards multiple screens,
even in separate control rooms, hereby offering ultimate flexibility for broadcast and distribution monitoring.
The distributed architecture of the Networked Visualization solution enables video content to be captured once –
in any location – and distributed and displayed as many times as required in any location.
The system’s extended metadata monitoring and alarm capabilities enable proactive monitoring by exception –
improving operational efficiency and reducing downtime.
The Networked Broadcast Monitoring System comprises:
•
A new network approach
Networked Visualization breaks down the traditional AV equipment functionality and enables complete solu-
tions to be built using intelligent displays, high-performance encoders/decoders, and management and con-
trol software built on industry-standard IT infrastructures. This enhances the flexibility, scalability and reach
needed in today’s broadcast environments at significantly lower costs.
•
Network streaming
Industry-standard technologies and protocols, including IP multicasting and JPEG2000, are used as far as pos-
sible. JPEG2000 compression enables visual information to be scaled to the appropriate size for the display
being used. This means video signals can be streamed over the Ethernet network at the appropriate quality
for the viewing application without using bandwidth unnecessarily.
•
Application management
The extended metadata monitoring and alarming capabilities of NGC-105 enable proactive monitoring by ex-
ception. Fault conditions on the incoming video and audio feeds can be detected and the operator can be no-
tified of these errors in a variety of ways. The controller communicates the alarm to network management
systems via Web services.
•
Redundancy
Redundant networking based on Ethernet technology, duplication of the central processing machine and N+1
redundancy on the output modules when combined with dual input projection modules.
•
Serviceability
The NGC-105 comprises a rack-mountable chassis, featuring redundant power supplies and an optional shelf
management module, and is equipped with hot swappable auto-sensing NGS input boards supporting both
standard and high definition video feeds.
•
High flexibility
To distribute sources to any viewer from rear projection displays to PCs to enable remote monitor-
ing/viewing
System architecture
Barco's NBMS solution consists of high-quality rear-screen projection modules or LCD panels, a networked hard-
ware platform and a Broadcast Monitoring Suite software package:
•
A single screen is capable of simultaneously displaying multiple sources together with related metadata,
audio metering information and computer applications. Two or more modules can be combined into a huge
display wall to monitor hundreds of signals.
•
The networked hardware platform may be divided into 3 physical components: the source capturing units,
the interconnecting IP network with the central server and the display generating units. All components are
designed as standard rack-mountable chassis.
•
The BMS software package allows complete system control and is accessible from any system network con-
nection.
