Remote Integration (REMI) for Parabolic Microphones
Remote Integration (REMI) has grown by leaps and bounds in the past few years Today, the technology allows cameras to be effectively operated from a remote studio over IP with negligible latency
Parabolic microphones are a staple in live sports productions, capturing sounds of the on-field action from afar Can the same REMI technology be used to allow a remote operator to follow the action with a parabolic microphone? Yes
K l o v e r P r o d u c t s i s w o r k i n g w i t h R e m o t e Camera Technology (RCT) to jointly develop this exact application Klover Products manufactures the popular Klover MiK parabolic microphones that are used extensively for live sports broadcasts RCT manufactures a unique remote operator system that can be mounted on any fluid head There are no mechanical connections to the fluid head such as pulleys, encoders, etc This makes the system incredibly versatile and compatible with expensive heads already owned by broadcasters In addition, the movement response is exceptionally fast over IP
The innovative RCT Fluid Remote, combined with the RCT Robotic Head, allows a cameraman at a remote site to operate the television camera as if he were next to

D2Monitor Solves 3 Key Stream Monitoring Challenges
As the number of streams grows within your operation, so does the challenge of monitoring each endpoint and stream to make sure they are working as expected D2D Technologies answers the challenge with D2Monitor, an enterprise level monitoring and alerting platform that provides a comprehensive view into all of their systems
The first key to effective monitoring is to have a good centralized dashboard that consolidates the critical real time status from the devices and streams into a single view By centralizing the monitoring of all inbound and outbound streams, your staff can easily see at a glance that signals are coming and going as they should If there is an issue, you can quickly drill down and get the details you need to best address the problem Each unit is listed in summary or detailed form so you can see exactly what is going on including the last check in time, system health and critical statistics for each individual stream.
The second essential part of a comprehensive monitoring solution is to be notified when things go wrong. The D 2 M o n i t o r s y s t e m a g g r e g a t e s t h e SNMP alerts from each of the D2D systems and can be configured to automatically send the alerts over email to your
