STATUS AND MONITORING SOFTWARE

NStatus Status & Monitoring Software application provides increased peace of mind by monitoring speci�ed applications and notifying operators when it senses any loss of communications. NStatus can easily be con�gured to sense loss of functionality in an application — and can even make an attempt to restart it. It can also be con�gured with a redundant mode, which attempts to launch a backup copy of the application that it senses is no longer running.

NStatus monitors the following applications: NBase media database manager, EMC-Router control, and up to four instances of EMC-NT Ethernet machine control.

Designed to run in the background, NStatus comes to the foreground only when it senses a problem that needs to be addressed. When connected to an NVerzion automation network, NStatus can also support an unlimited number of connected NVerzion applicaitions.

Features:• Montitors EMC IP socket

connections• Enables and validates machine

control commands to a backupEMC device when lostconnection is detected

• Optionally starts a backupinstance of an application that isrecognized as operatingincorrectly

• Easy to read and identifywarnings and noti�cations

• Supports a virtually unlimitednumber of NStatus instances

Bene�ts:• Quickly noti�es operators of

problems, enabling fast decisionsand limited downtime

• Can be set to restart systemapplications automatically

• Runs on any PC con�gured to runon an NVerzion automationnetwork

MACHINE STATUS AND CONTROL

NCommand provides at-a-glance access to important status information of any machine operating on an NVerzion EMC network. In certain situations, depending on the type of machine, NCommand can even provide immediate machine control to the device. With a fully con�gurable GUI, NCommand adds a high level of convenience and utility to any NVerzion EMC connected automation system.

The information and control is dependent on the type of machine NCommand is currently monitoring — di�erent types of machines require their own level of interaction and provide di�erent types of information.

NCommand includes a highly con�gurable GUI, both in function and form, making it a very versatile and e�cient part of your system's nerve center. Your system can simultaneously control as many devices as you can �t on your monitor, and a window can easily switch to another connected device through convenient drop-down menus.

ONLINE VERIFICATION AND VIDEO LOGGING APPLICATION

NVero provides around-the-clock monitoring and logging of live video, providing the ability to verify video, using a standard media player on any approved PC, from anywhere on the network. Ideal for quality control applications, NVero can be an integral part of any playout work�ow, allowing users to search for video by date and time it aired and view it via the network, by email, or via video logs when connected to the Web. At run time, NVero records all media by translating the supported NTSC or PAL aired video into a low-resolution AVI or WMF format. These �les are saved with the cataloged time of day of recording. The rates at which the �les are recorded are con�gurable and dependent upon the user's requirements and desired quality.

During the record process, NVero stores video in a cyclical loop, providing automatic backup of aired material in a time-based system. The cyclical loop is con�gurable to run for days, weeks, months, or even years, depending on the system's individual veri�cation needs and capacity.

The NVero application includes a PC capable of holding days/weeks/months of logged material, depending on the con�gurable encoding rate. For systems requiring large encoding rates and greater storage, NVero can be connected to a digital storage library system via NVerzion’s distributive storage management software system, XPansion.

By coupling this with NVerzion’s automation acquisition software, NVero can be con�gured as a backup device for creating low-res copies of �les that are being encoded in parallel.

Features:• Simple monitoring and logging

of live video feeds• View video �les via Windows

Media Player on any desktop• Con�gurable encoding rates, �le

length, loop duration• Supports both NTSC and PAL

Bene�ts:• Easy solution for monitoring of

remote sites• Enables convenient online and/or

email veri�cation• Can create low-res backup to

DVD, tape, drives, or servers
