Future-Ready Features Combined with Scalability, Ease of Management, and a Low
Total Cost of Ownership Make MonitorIQ BMS a Compelling Broadcast Monitoring
Solution for Organizations of All Sizes
NEWARK, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Digital Nirvana, Inc., a California-based provider of media industry solutions,
today unveiled MonitorIQ Broadcast Monitoring System (MonitorIQ BMS), a
cutting-edge solution that includes a number of unique features not available in
other commercial products. MonitorIQ BMS is a next-generation broadcast
monitoring system with a rich set of capabilities that handle signal monitoring,
logging, archiving, content repurposing, and competitive analysis - with an
underlying scalable design that helps broadcasters improve their productivity
and bottom line. 

Each MonitorIQ BMS appliance incorporates a multi-channel recorder, from one to
four built-in intelligent tuners, and customizable storage. Broadcasters can add
more appliances to the network as needed, to monitor dozens or even hundreds of
channels. Tuners automatically switch channels based on the recording schedule,
and only a single signal input is needed. Each MonitorIQ BMS tuner is capable of
simultaneously recording all subchannels on each DTV channel in standard
definition or HD, and recordings can be retrieved and repurposed in many formats
- including Flash, MPG-2, MPG-4, and H.264. 

"With a challenging economic climate and new online competitors, broadcasters
are increasingly under pressure to streamline operations while delivering
content to new locations in new formats," commented Digital Nirvana President
and Chief Executive Officer Hiren Hindocha. With included adapters for the most
popular broadcast business systems, MonitorIQ TMS integrates and automates
previously manual interfaces and tasks. The ability to ingest ratings and
advertising rate data allows broadcasters to do competitive analysis in-house,
saving the expense of external intelligence service subscriptions. 

A central, Web-based interface makes it easy to remotely set up recording
schedules or review broadcast content, regardless of media location or number of
appliances on the network. With no license limits on the number of clients,
staff can access recorded content or schedule recordings from any location, at
the station or remotely, from any browser-equipped device. 

Digital Nirvana staff will demonstrate MonitorIQ BMS at the 2009 NAB Show in
Booth SU8808, located on the upper level of the South Hall. Full product details
