Datasheet

Simplified, Schedule-Aware Control and Monitoring of Incoming FeedsiControl Incoming Feeds by Grass Valley, a Belden Brand, optimizes workflows for QC operators, and minimizes the risks of on-air errors by integrating the incoming feeds schedule with simplified control of the routing and processing infrastructure.

It’s ideal for news, sports and other types of live programming which require large numbers of video feeds to be properly aggregated, and processed to house format, before they are forwarded to ingest servers, or made available to live productions.

Optimize Resource Usage and Hide Iinfrastructure Complexity

iControl incoming feeds helps you save money on your infrastructure costs, and maximize your resource usage by automating the control of devices through integration with a resource management system. Easily scale your environment by integrating several devices together while still performing com-plex and advanced processing. iControl incoming feeds enables you to automate the management, scheduling, and monitoring of all resources, remov-ing the risk of error and ensuring a reliable, high qual-ity programming output.

Features• Automatic routing of signal through your facility• Live monitoring of devices and reporting of issues to

resource management system• Scalable operator workstations

Integrated Workstation Helps Maxi-mize Operator Efficiency

Reduce the need for extensive personnel training by hiding infrastructure complexity and presenting a single control interface. Make your operators more efficient by reducing the number of manual steps involved in the QC process.

Quality-control view• High quality view of baseband feeds• Visual probing information of otherwise hard-to-

perceive QC problems

Shared arrivals board• Shared view between QC operators of all incoming

feeds• Color-coded booking information to easily under-

stand incoming feeds that need to be processed• Metadata booking information coming from resource

management system

Integrated signal processing interface• Ability to use control panel or desktop to control pro-

cessing devices and routers• Integration of waveform monitor to operator

workstation• Virtual Router control surface for manual

operations

Advanced Signal Processing

iControl incoming feeds can be used with a range of Densité Series 3G/HD/SD/analog video and audio processors, which feature video streaming for easier signal selection.
