Facility-wide access to content
Barco's networked broadcast monitoring system enables operators to monitor their broadcast processes and visualize video content in real-time from anywhere in the broadcast facility. The distributed architecture of the NBMS enables video to be captured once, on any location, and distributed and displayed as many times as required in any location.
Monitoring over large distances
With Barco's networked broadcast monitoring system, sources are streamed over a classic multicast IP network, so distance does not matter anymore. NBMS even opens up the possibility to remotely monitor studios, broadcasts, head-ends, remote transmitter sites, or to make use of back-up sites or follow–the-sun control center operations.
Scalability without loosing flexibility
There is no limit on number of inputs or outputs. No recabling is required when adding sources or displays or when changing the configuration.
Source presentation on any display
Barco’s NBMS allows for more flexibility as to where the source needs to be displayed. From small PC workstation to large video wall, NBMS can present scaled content for any type of display with a high granularity.
Monitoring on PC
With the encoded video sources available on the visualization network, a powerful PC, or one equipped with a dedicated J2K decoder card, can simply present the video content at high quality and low latency by means of any viewer (e.g. Windows Media Player).
Smart layout creation
NBMS makes use of a rich set of predefined layout templates, which allows operators to save time and be more efficient when creating layouts. You can also build your own templates by combining video displets, UMDs, tallies, audiobars, etc. into one view, arranged according to personal preference.
