Vela SmartLogger Boosts Monitoring/Logging
A

t IBC-2019, Vela is introducing
Encompass
6.0,
further
extending its position as the world's
preferred
Volicon-replacement
solution with an extremely featurerich and comprehensive solution that
complements its affordable line of
compliance monitoring and logging
systems.
It extends capabilities and enhances
the workflows of broadcasters, MVPDs
and media companies to ensure
quality/reliability of their content,
improve their audiences' experience,
and increase their competitiveness.
All Encompass systems include every
advanced feature at no additional cost,
so users gain a wide range of benefits
and capabilities, including: compliance
monitoring,
confidence
logging,
multiviewing, QoS alerting, Airchecks/
ad verification, clipping of original or
transcoded streams for repurposing
back to air or digital/social media,
content matching with political and/
or competitive analysis and reporting,
OTT/retrans
content-comparison
with notification when commercials/
content vary, and more.

A few of the reasons why Vela won
multiple-awards at NAB-2019:
*	 A powerful and intuitive user
interface with powerful QoS tools
for alerting/reporting of compliance
violations and industry-leading smartlogger features.
*	 Creation of sales lead-lists
based on analysis and comparison of
competitor-run commercials.
*	 Monitoring and recording of
competitive news programs with tools
for News Directors to synchronise,
view, compare, and annotate with
voice/text notes to enhance their news
product.
Some of the new version 6.0
features debuting at IBC-2019:
*	 Full Suite of AI/ML tools
that enable broadcasters to
analyse content, live or ondemand, on-premise or in the
cloud.
The new tools recognise
faces, voices, logos, objects,
on-screen OCR, and audio/
video patterns, integrate that
metadata with the underlying
video, perform speech-to-text and

differentiate
programing
from
advertising.
*	 Improved Content/OTT Compare
- Vela has introduced unique
capabilities to enable comparison of
source content with many OTT/return
feeds.
*	 Enhancements to Notes and
Discrepancy Logging that enable you
to track and tabulate political party air
time, search and reports on internal
comments such as 'Make Good', and
more.
*	 New,
more-customisable,
multiviewer to complement local,
browser, and mobile access.

Vela has introduced Encompass 6.0

*	 Enhanced Audio/Video Content
Matching with improved accuracy and
reports.
*	 Additional Standard Support,
including: SMPTE 2110, ATSC 3.0,
OKTA, DVB & SCTE-27 Subtitles
*	 Greater
Channel
Density,
Scalability and Reliability with newer,
more-powerful GPUs/CPUs, enhanced
Cloud/Virtualised
environment
support, and improved fail-over
redundancy.
Encompass breaks down traditional
silos of functionality, such as:
compliance,
QoS,
multiviewer,
advertising-ops
support,
OTT
monitoring,
competitor
monitoring
and
analysis
with
ratings,
newsroom
clipping and social-media
repurposing... and instead
of satisfying these needs
with many tools - each
considered an expense...
it delivers a unified tool
that helps increase market
share, produces an ROI, and
is considered by most as a
valuable investment.
