About: Cobalt Digital SpotCheck SPOTCHECK-1000-OTA

Cobalt Digital SpotCheck SPOTCHECK-1000-OTA ATSC A/85 Compliance Monitor for OTA Transport Streams - 1 Control IP Port, 1 RF Input for over-the-air reception. Includes one license of SPOTCHECK-LICENSE-AUDIO-FULL. Maximum capacity of four programs. 12-month analysis storage.

Segments can be searched using date – time with the intuitive display of loudness plots along with date-time-stamped thumbnails of the actual corresponding programming, or can be queried and correlated with the facility as-run automation list. SpotCheck readily pinpoints any segments that are out of CALM A/85 compliance, and conversely helps in documenting compliance should an erroneous complaint appear.

Options allow even more transport stream/programming analysis. Option QUALITYCHECK checks for the presence of CEA708/608 closed-captioning, as well as the string content text, and also can detect transport communication errors as well as frozen/black frame and audio silence, with Alert Manager sending these alerts to your designated personnel as simple e-mails. Option AIRCHECK provides easily managed lo-res proxy downloads of user-selected transport stream segments that can be sent and viewed over e-mail to recipients with common smart devices and media players.

Easy to use web user interface provides for easy setup and use. Requiring no breakout from the MPEG stream and not affecting the emission stream in any way, SpotCheck® provides an easily integrated, facility-based, superior solution for loudness records and compliance verification.
