Sentry Verify Datasheet Compliance monitoring For Closed Caption compliance monitoring, Sentry Verify has the ability to monitor, alert and report on the availability and quality of closed captions across all channels in real time. Sentry Verify will check that the captions are present and not in error. When errors do occur, Sentry Verify will let you know how long they were in error and the reason for the error. Data and syntax anomalies within the closed captioning data stream are detected to allow for an accurate closed captioning quality of service (QoS) measurement. This applies to...

Sentry Verify Datasheet SA-BFS monitoring Sentry is designed to identify and monitor data carousels within the transport, which enables it to keep detailed information about the real-time and historical status of the Scientific-Atlanta Broadcast Files System (BFS). Similar to the way other application carousels (tru2way, DSM-CC, etc) are monitored, Sentry is able to provide critical information about the status of BFS carousels. Multichannel service providers can set alerts to be notified of bit rate errors, file changes, file cycle times, and if files are missing. Port 15 Port 16 ]'••• 1'...
