Video Clarity Intros New
Products At CCW 2015
At this year's CCW, Video Clarity will showcase a host of new products...
RTM Scheduler
For the first time at CCW, Video
Clarity will show RTM Scheduler, a
new tool for customers who use the
company's RTM real-time monitoring
systems. RTM Scheduler allows
operators to use a single RTM unit to
monitor several programs or channels
in a series, based on a user-defined
schedule.
Although RTM systems monitor
a single channel at a time, RTM
Scheduler makes it easy for users
to program an RTM unit to perform
multiple sequential tests, thereby
making it possible for a single RTM
unit to perform quality measurements
and fault-monitoring sessions on
several channels. This capability is
especially useful when the RTM unit
is monitoring an SDI source against
an IP-processed source. As a source
for the test reference, RTM can select
from an IP stream, or up to four SDI
interfaces sequentially. The RTM
unit can then select any processed
IP stream (or series of streams) for
quality measurement and monitoring.

RTM Scheduler is a new tool for those
who use Video Clarity's RTM real-time
monitoring systems

RTM 3G allows multiple audio and video measurements in one system, simultaneously

RTM 3G Portable
At CCW, Video Clarity will showcase
a smaller, lighter, rack-mountable
version of its RTM 3G real-time
monitoring device. This new, portable
2-RU version incorporates SSD
technology, which saves space and
creates higher reliability. RTM 3G is
used for short- or long-term quality
monitoring of live and prerecorded
3 Gbps content to detect subtle or
intermittent errors. With RTM 3G, users
can test the quality of any delivered
service they deploy - either from
broadcast interfaces or IP networks.
In doing so, they will be able to
understand service and product
performance levels, and perfect
program delivery before, or
during content delivery.
RTM 3G features DMOS, a
full-resolution, full-referencequality
human
perceptual
measurement performed in real
time. DMOS allows users to view
a channel's quality, without the
complexity of setting up one or
more recordings first. When video or
audio runs outside of preset quality

measurement thresholds, RTM 3G will
automatically record the unacceptable
clips, and log the quality scores. RTM
3G also enables multiple audio and
video measurements in one system,
at the same time, and users get a high
degree of accuracy because recordings
are in the uncompressed domain.
RTM Manager
CCW attendees will see Video
Clarity's newly engineered RTM
Manager, the central management
appliance for the company's RTM
real-time audio and video monitoring
solutions. Video Clarity has completely
redesigned
the
RTM
Manager
interface, giving it a boost in speed,
and adding operational scheduling
functions. The upgrades to RTM
Manager make it even easier to control
groups of RTM systems.
Most important among the unit's
many improvements is the RTM

Manager Server, a key new feature
that replaces the FTP function, and
takes the load off of the network
to make RTM Manager faster, and
more scalable. The server leaves an
installation package in each RTM
system so that the RTM unit will
recognise and share information with
an RTM Manager automatically. Also,
the new version offers the option
to "delete oldest" logs, or to stop
recording, as opposed to saving all
logs from a previous session as the last
version did.
