ECPTM: Automated Channel Package Auditing

Multi-region networks with central headends and a greatly increased universe of channel options has made it difficult for multi-channel operators to prove to content owners that the correct channels appear in the correct tiers.

Until now, correct channel tiering audits needed time-consuming and error-prone manual scanning by human operators. Not anymore. Eliminate time-consuming and expensive manual audits of channel packages with the Pixelmetrix ECPTM.

Deployed at a central or regional headend, the Pixelmetrix ECP continuously scans through all channels and reports any channels that are there but not supposed to be, as well as channels that are not there but are supposed to be. With that, operators can use the remote telepresence feature to remotely view the channel for positive confirmation.

Automating this important task frees up operations personnel to focus on more pressing responsibilities.
