UPC of Perú uses 3Way Solutions equipment

The Peruvian University of Applied Sciences (https://www.upc.edu.pe/) through VideoBroadcast uses 3Way Solutions Logging and Clipping equipment for its different teaching centers. These powerful tools developed by 3Way Solutions allow UPC to locate specific audiovisual material for their chairs, as well as edit clips very quickly, to enrich the content they produce. The system features over 10TB of file storage, and multiple HD streams. This is a project that has grown over time after discovering the great help that 3Way Solutions tools provide to UPC, where they are already a standard.

Clipping allows you to quickly edit incoming audio and video content in high quality for immediate use in different destinations such as social networks, web pages, or also within the production or educational workflow, allowing you to select the highlights of a sporting event or a class to distribute them through any social network such as Twitter, Facebook, or others, allowing access to the general public or a specific audience such as students.

Logging allows the mass storage of content, which can be in high or low resolution, which can then be located through multiple search tools, which include facial recognition, audio-to-text conversion, reading news headlines, watermarks in commercials, and many more.
3Way Solutions, with more than 20 years in the broadcast market, designs and provides creative tools to help broadcasters, educational centers, and public institutions to improve their operational flow, increasing productivity and reducing costs.

Telecable Costa Rica uses 3Way system to monitor signals

Telecable Costa Rica uses 3Way system to monitor signals

Internet and Cable services provider Telecable of Costa Rica uses 5 Round Robin monitoring systems from 3Way Solutions for its TV distribution signal network. This ensures the maximum quality level in the TV signals that reach users of the cable service, with a very low investment cost. Each system has an RF input with a PAL or NTSC tuner, and one HDMI input to take the output of a Set Top Box, automatically controlled via infrared (IR).

Round Robin is a tool specifically developed by 3Way Solutions for cable operators who need technical control of multiple signals with a low cost. The system performs a sweep of analog signals (PAL or NTSC), as well as digital signals (tuning them automatically through IR commands sent to the Set Top Box), and makes a very detailed technical analysis for each of the signals, with the goal of assuring maximum quality in the set of signals that arrives to each subscriber of cable television.

The system records a sampling of the signal, what allows to verify in what period of time the signal was altered, and with which alarm. It also allows the export of a complete report in excel files. Each time the system is positioned to scan a signal and take a sample of the quality of service, time/date information is stored together with signal status. The system changes channel automatically to cover the complete grid of channels provided by the cable operator.

Round Robin is completely configurable via web, and generates a report of alarms for fails in the channels to allow Cable operator to know as soon as possible and can test more than 750 TV cannels in 2 inputs. It has the possibility to have analog and digital inputs, and it also can visualize live video or an specific sequence of the scan that is recorded for later revision purposes.

This is another creative solution of 3Way Solutions, with great functionality and reasonable cost, to solve specific needs of broadcasters. Other solutions developed by 3Way Solutions under the same criteria are Clipping, Multiviewer, Logging, TV Distribution, and MAM.

Telecom uses ViDeus for clipping and catch-up of its programs

System to record 50 Transport Stream signals

TRANSPORT STREAM RECORD
LDAP INTEGRATION
REPORTV XMLS FILES INTEGRATION
MAM INTEGRATION
10GB IGMPV3 NETWORKING

Customer initially added a system to record 10 Transport Stream signals to be able to extract the complete programs without advertisement and then send them with the same Transport Stream format to be ingested in their Video On Demand system.

Later they expanded the solution to 50 HD signals with a Main Backup system. We made the integration to be able to read and make a parsing of the programming grid (ReporTV) that is read from an FTP, where every day 3 XML files related to the planinfication of the programming grid are taken. With this information the system enables teh mark in and out of programs with an automatic clipping, as well as the possibility to enrich the content with metadata asociated to the program, adding information of the program name, cast, director, gender, category, and more.

Some numbers of the project

50 signals
500 Mbits
10 users

Integration with MAM

Clipped programs from ViDeus system are automatically exported to the MAM, with their associated XML, their JPG cover, and the files for subtitling in case that the signal has them. Then the MAM follows the flux in order that the content be available in the OTT platform.
