Overview:

The Vela Quantum RPM provides information, recordings, and alerting on video, audio, and ancillary data necessary to ensure regulatory compliance, data integrity, and QoS/QoE for content as experienced by end users. Incorporating advanced fingerprinting algorithms that identify, capture, and log when specified content airs.

Utilize Playlist/Ad Schedule and AsRun integration features to help automate the ad verification process and provide aircheck clips.

The Quantum RPM enables operators to monitor and control up to 16 set top boxes per system. Multiple systems can be controlled via a unified single interface from anywhere allowing the solution to scale to over 1000 channels.

Ad Verification

Using Playlist/Ad Schedule integration, Quantum RPM can tune to specific channels at desired times on a set top box and record the output.

Automate the identification of ads in the recorded content using Quantum RPM fingerprinting technology eliminating endless hours of scrubbing through video files to search for ads.

Monitoring and Logging

Receive alerts via SNMP traps, Email, SMS/Text, Microsoft Teams, WebEx Teams, Slack, and Push Notification

Monitor critical parameters at the set top box. Easily configure and receive alerts via SNMP traps, Email, SMS/Text, Microsoft Teams, WebEx Teams, Slack, and Push Notification. GPIO options are also available. Each channel can be configured independently and each alarm type can be assigned a particular communication method. Don't want to receive a text message at 3AM for a minor alarm but do for a loss a signal? That can be easily configured.
