PACIFIC TELEVISION CENTER CHOOSES IDEASUNLIMITED.tv FOR CONTENT MONITORING AND VERIFICATION Live Multi-National Demonstration at NAB2004S

Las Vegas, NAB2004: Pacific Television Center, is to use IdeasUnlimited.tv solutions for end-to-end content monitoring and verification. The two companies will kick-start the deal with a demonstration of the broadcaster’s sites in Los Angeles, Singapore and the UK, live at NAB2004.

With IdeasUnlimited.tv, PacTV is pioneering automatic content monitoring and verification in the USA as a valuable time-saving alternative to manual checks and telephone alerts at each of its multiple sites worldwide. The broadcaster is to use the system for US religious channels, which travel from LA via satellite to Asia Pacific countries including Singapore and finally to the satellite-downlink sites in Europe and Africa.

IdeasUnlimited.tv’s ContentProbe hardware and software range automatically checks all broadcast content against the original and provides immediate alerts on any distortion, such as black screen or colour bars.

“IdeasUnlimited.tv offers the only solution that fully understands broadcasters’ needs,” says PacTV’s vice president of broadcast services Howard Fine. “ContentProbe gives us the confidence that all our viewers around the globe receive the high-quality broadcast we transmit.”

Managing director of IdeasUnlimited.tv Glyn Powell-Evans adds: “Broadcasters do not have the time to perform lengthy quality checks, especially at multiple sites. IdeasUnlimited.tv’s flexible solutions ensure that their transmissions remain true efficiently and cost-effectively, no matter how far they have to travel.” Partner company OmniBus Systems will be demonstrating IdeasUnlimited.tv solutions on booth C7634.
