Bridging the SDI/IP gap
with Telestream Test
& Measurement
By Ian Valentine, VP of Product Management...

W

ithin broadcast operations of all
sizes and scales, effective test
& measurement is not an option - it is
an essential pre-requisite of efficient
workflows throughout a facility. Today,
the big challenge facing tech vendors is
to create test & measurement systems
that reflect the latest trends such as
the move towards IP, 4K, 8K and HDR
content.
One company that is investing
massively in this area is Telestream.
Recently, the company announced
the latest software upgrade for its
PRISM Waveform Monitor. Built for
post production, live production
and engineering, the latest release
supports enhanced test tools for UHD
and 4K/8K with RGB 4:4:4 12-bit HDR/
WCG and False color tools as well as
support for the latest immersive audio
surround formats.
The release streamlines post
production mastering and compliance
workflows for UHD, HDR, by providing
objective measurements through easy
to use and configure tools for both
exposure and color management.
Experienced post production staff
can often subjectively gauge video
quality on a regular monitor for HD/
SD content, but this is very difficult to
do with UHD/HDR standards. Editors
and colorists need to know how much
of the image is in the HDR zone and
where their lightest highlights are, and
their darkest shadows are. They also
need tools to tell them that the color
in the mastered content is correct and
error free, something that gets more
difficult across multiple color spaces.
If not done correctly, media services
providers like Netflix, Amazon, and
Hulu will reject non-compliant content
causing post production delays and
cost over-runs.
PRISM provides an arsenal of tools
to help production professionals get
it right. From the use of configurable
false color displays for both luminance
and gamut errors, stop displays that

measure exposure directly in light
levels to the traditional color and
exposure tools such as vector and
waveform displays. PRISM provides
what's required to ensure compliance
with UHD content requirements such
as Netflix standards and enables post
production teams to guarantee their
productions pop off the screen.
In both live and post production
there is constant time and commercial
pressure to deliver high quality
content, and so anything that improves
operational efficiency has great
value. Following in depth customer
research, the latest release of software
introduces a new user interface
specifically designed to simplify the
selection, use and configuration of the
broad range of applications available
on PRISM. The new UI provides a
hot bar which can be customized to
include the key applications needed
for the application the PRISM is being
used for, be it Live or Post Production,
Engineering or Technical QC.
Further flexibility is provided
through the use of up to 36 different
presets which can be used to instantly
reconfigure the PRISM and the hot
bar layout for different applications.
Inspect 2110

Those Presets can be exported and
remotely downloaded on to multiple
PRISMs to ensure the whole team is
working in a consistent fashion and
with the instrument is configured
for their particular workflows. Not
only can the presets be exported and
installed remotely, but PRISM itself can
be accessed and controlled remotely
through a web UI. This is important in
a world that has been changed by a
pandemic that requires teams to work
and collaborate from a distance.
Other features in this release include
the use of four active trace tiles,
capture and decoding of SCTE 104
messages and the ability to select and
down mix stereo and 5.1 surround
audio channels.

Inspect 2110 creates Killer
combination with PRISM
As the network scales, in addition to
needing a deep analyzer, is the need to
monitor the large scale video network
for visibility and automated warnings
of issues that ideally can be directed
to PRISM for the detailed analysis. This

provides the combination of largescale automated monitoring & detailed
analysis operations teams need.
Instruments like PRISM tend to be
analyzers. They will look at a few
selected signals on which users can
then perform a series of deep analytic
measurements. They are ideally suited
to the job performed by individuals
working in QC, Live Production, Post
Production and Engineering. However,
for those in Operations who are
responsible for ensuring that all the
signals being used in a facility or being
transmitted are correct they need tools
that will monitor signals on a large
scale, but that perform less in depth
measurements than an analyzer. This
is about visibility and warnings rather
than deep analysis and diagnostics.
As broadcast operations migrate
from SDI to IP, there is a need for
test & measurement systems that
support this sea-change in operating
environment.
Telestream's
new
Inspect 2110 probes monitor provides
the large-scale monitoring required in
an Operational environment.
Inspect 2110 is designed to answer
four critical questions for operators. Is
the content that is on the network
