MELBOURNE, FLA. — Monitoring and analytics product developer and supplier to broadcast media companies Qligent has released an update to its end-to-end monitoring offering used by over-the-air stations across the U.S.
Introducing Vision 5.12, which now offers its users ability to monitor both signals and systems within a single, unified environment. “This enhancement streamlines and consolidates monitoring across the entire distribution network,” says Qligent, led by CEO Brick Eksten.
With support for third-party APIs, Vision 5.12 “extends observability beyond signal monitoring to encompass the full network—covering any hardware or software components involved in the production, distribution, and consumption of content,” Qligent notes. “This release represents a true leap toward a fully unified monitoring environment, offering consistent depth in monitoring, recording, analytics, reporting, and alerting for both content channels and the systems supporting them.”
Key Features of Vision 5.12:
- Seamless Monitoring of External Systems:
Gain visibility into the underlying hardware, software, and network infrastructure to achieve a unified view of the entire distribution network—enabling proactive detection of potential issues. - Minimized Downtime and Reduced Costs:
Leverage advanced analytics to correlate metrics across the network—comparing transport performance with visual quality scores—to pinpoint root causes and accelerate resolution. - Flexible Deployment Options:
Deploy on-premise, in the cloud, or in hybrid environments. Vision 5 is fully cloud-native, supporting elastic scaling in virtualized infrastructures. - Future-Ready Standards Support:
Fully compatible with ATSC 3.0, including monitoring for HEVC and Dolby AC-4, ensuring readiness for next-generation broadcast technologies. - Centralized Monitoring and Analytics:
A customizable, single-pane-of-glass dashboard offers a real-time, holistic view of operational health with powerful search and deep analytics capabilities.
“Vision 5 is a modern solution designed for the modern problems created by the ongoing challenges facing the industry,” Eksten said ahead of InfoComm in Orlando. “Vision 5 targets a new approach to monitoring by integrating third-party information directly into signal monitoring services. This provides a deeper and more complete understanding of networks and signals, leading to greater operational efficiency and faster time to resolution. By increasing the breadth of monitoring, we not only expand overall network insight—we move closer to predicting anomalies before they happen.”
