WorldCast enhances QoS monitoring portfolio with Audemat FM Probe

WorldCast Systems has strengthened its QoS monitoring portfolio with the Audemat FM Probe. This complete solution enables accurate monitoring, measurement and analysis of the FM signal. Broadcasters and regulation authorities can perform remote monitoring of a set list of channels as well as verify the conformity of their FM network with both legislation and their broadcasting needs.

The Audemat FM Probe comes in a 1U frame and with a sturdy list of features and advanced software tools. To begin with, it offers the ability to monitor up to eight programs continuously and 50 programs sequentially. Other functions include deep signal analysis, including spectrums (RF, MPX, audio), full RDS decoding, alarm notification by email, SNMP traps and Syslog, telemetry board, as well as recording and scan monitoring.

For the first time in an Audemat monitoring product for FM, the Audemat FM Probe embeds the Kantar watermarking technology to decode and monitor the INK code of any station; thereby allowing it to monitor if the watermark for audience measure is well broadcast at the correct time.

With the audio recording and streaming feature, radio broadcasters have the capacity to hear, in real-time, the sound rendering of their program.

The product is compatible with SNMP network management systems such as Kybio, and is enhanced with ScriptEasy technology. This FM + ScriptEasy two-in-one solution enables advanced telemetry, facility management and web page customisation for simple aggregation and display of relevant data.
