EARLY DETECTION

The CMR system provides early detection of interference from sources such as:

Crystal CMR allows:
In broadcasting, quality of signal delivery is everything! Signal interference or disruption equates to substandard quality, poor service and bad business. The integrity of your broadcast signal is the integrity of your business. But tracking, analysing and diagnosing highly intermittent signal anomalies is difficult. A crucial link in the management of signal interference is the response time required to identify, analyze and correct system breakdown caused by interference. Many companies use spectrum analyzers to address this problem, but such instruments are only part of the answer. Employing the right equipment in the right place at the right time is critical. Crystal Computer Corporation is a leading provider of solutions to signal interence and other technical broadcast challenges.

SOLUTION Framework

Carrier Monitor and Recorder (CMR) by Crystal Computer Corporation provides you with the ability to monitor and react to signal interference before outages occur. The CMR system provides real time monitoring and archiving of spectrum data whenever signal anomalies occur, enabling you to analyze data before the incident, during the incident and after the system is restored. With CMR keeping a constant watch on signal quality and interference events becomes less impactful. When anomalies occur, engineers have the data necessary to analyze and solve the problem, lowering the likelihood of recurrent interference episodes.
With CMR, you have the ability to control an RF switch, enabling you to cycle through multiple signal sources, maximizing the utilization of diagnostic equipment. The CMR system monitors satellite carriers in real-time from a central location on the network utilizing standard computer equipment. Companies save time and money by allowing engineers to seamlessly troubleshoot problems associated with signal interference.
