Build Confidence in Your System
AdCheck from Crystal reduces lost revenue and increases customer satisfaction by ensuring advertising insertion triggers are delivered on time.
AdCheck’s real-time transmission monitoring provides Ad Trigger notification, verification, and fault resolution to Master Control Room (MCR) Operators to ensure all advertising income opportunities are included in transmission streams.
AdCheck integrates with your Crystal Solutions™ monitor & control system and is also available as a self-supporting stand alone solution.
This solution can pick up triggers from any of these points:
- Directly from the automation system
- From GPI contacts on a fiber receiver
- From SCTE 104 messages pre-compression
- From SCTE 35 messages post-compression
- From a decrypted ASI through confidence monitoring
With multi-point monitoring one can know not only that a trigger has been lost, but also where in the distribution chain it was lost.
Crystal’s web interface provides the flexibility needed to:
- Apply names to each individual trigger monitoring point (e.g. UPTV SD pre-compression)
- View all trigger logs
- Export data (e.g. CSV file)
- Generate standard reports (missed-trigger reports by service, trigger logs)
Designed by Crystal, the leading provider of state-of-the-art uplink and content monitor and control solutions, AdCheck combines off-the-shelf hardware with unique software programming to monitor ad-insertion notifications for both digital and analog services distributed through transport streams.
