New Alerts for Slicer Monitoring

We've expanded our monitoring capabilities with the inclusion of four new alerts for Slicer Monitoring

• Static Video: This alert will inform you when the slicer is receiving static video from the source signal. This could be a green screen, color bars, a frozen frame, or any other instance where the video luminosity is not changing for an extended period of time. Customers control the amount of time that static video is present before an alert is triggered.

• Static Audio: This alert will detect when the audio feed is sending a static audio track to the slicer. This will help catch when end-users hear any audio tone that is irregular and unintended. Customers control the duration of when the system will trigger a warning or critical alert.

• Extended Ad Break: This metric will identify when a slicer stays in the an ad break state for longer than expected. Customers can be alerted when a slicer stays in an ad break state for longer than expected.

• Nielsen Tags Last Seen: This metric will check that Nielsen tags are being received and inserted into the stream as expected by the customer. The customer can configure the slicer to detect nielsen watermarks, and insert tags in the stream. This metric will allow customers to be alerted if nielsen watermarks are not being identified by the slicer.
