PROCABSAT
tsl At CAbsAt 2011
TSL management will be at
CABSAT to discuss some of its
success stories such as First
Media Dubai, CNBC Pakistan,
MediaCity UK, TVNZ New
Zealand, ESPN STAR Sports
Singapore and many others that
illustrate how TSL’s expertise and
experience can be applied in
order to assist broadcasters in
developing systems technology
that is specifically tailored to their
individual business.
Alongside its integration
capabilities, TSL will also focus on
its professional audio monitoring
and power management
solutions. TSL’s PAM2-3G16 is
a professional, multi-standard,
multi-format audio monitor that
simplifies multichannel audio
monitoring via preset menus
and shortcut keys for rapid
and intuitive access to critical
elements of complex broadcast
audio systems.
The PAM2-3G16 has been
upgraded with state-of-theart
loudness measurement
capabilities; a user-assignable
input matrix for non-SMPTE
channel order; lip sync audio
delay capabilities; and advanced
data reporting.
TSL’s range of Power
Distribution Units (PDU’s) will
also be showcased. To take
full advantage of the extensive
functionality of TSL’s PDU
products, TSL has developed
PsiMon, an SQL server-based
system and a dashboard display
that provides comprehensive,
future-proof monitoring and
control of all TSL’s PDU products.
PsiMon features include ultrafast
fault finding, where a single
click advances the user straight
to where the problem lies; highly
accurate numerical readings
for actual parameter values;
the ability to view Power Factor
as well as voltage, current and
temperature; real-time alarm
status monitoring; and up-todate
analysis of hundreds of
mains distribution units from a
single application.

Volicon Observer Pro
Video monitoring and logging solutions
provider Volicon’s Observer Professional
will have its Middle East debut at
CABSAT. Based on Microsoft Silverlight,
the Observer Professional includes an
intuitive, streamlined user interface for
both Mac and PC platforms that supports
Internet Explorer, Safari, Google Chrome,
and Firefox browsers, as well as integrated
export functionality to H.264, Flash,
MPEG-2, or MPEG-4. The system includes
improved streaming capabilities and gives
users the flexibility to export video files
in .ASF (WM9), H.264, Flash, MPEG-2, or
MPEG-4 formats. By employing Silverlight
for the Observer Pro, Volicon has gained
access to a wide array of building blocks,
which Volicon engineering and product
design teams can quickly customise in
response to prioritised customer feedback
and requirements.
Version 5.5 of the Observer Remote
Program Monitor (RPM) will also be
showcased. This solution specifically
addresses the effective management of
large-scale installations with the new
Element Management Services (EMS)
module, which enables centralized
configuration and alert management of
multiple probes in a large operation. RPM
5.5 also includes significant enhancements
to the Interactive Services Module
(ISM), which enables users to reliably
test complex on-demand or interactive
services using pattern matching, advanced
decision-making, and improved qualityof-experience
detectors. The ISM now
includes an Interactive Services Wizard,
a desktop application for developing
reliable interactive services scripts, and a
module that enables the ISM’s operation
on every encoder in the operation.
