Abstract: Today's broadcast facilities are increasing in complexity by an order of magnitude. The relatively straight-forward media formats of the past are being replaced by elaborate packet protocols that combine multiple video, audio and metadata into a digital multiplex. In such a highly computerized system there are many opportunities for error but there are also opportunities for self correction, intelligent report generation, and operator notification. This paper will describe various system monitoring architectures, categorize the types of errors that can be detected, and discuss a number of strategies for recognizing, logging and correcting errors.

bio
Dr. Cherry received his Ph.D. in Computer Science in 1983 from the University of Delaware and joined Tektronix in 1984. He has worked on numerous system designs in his 14 years at Tektronix. In 1993 he began working full time as a Tektronix representative on the MPEG ISO committee where his primary focus was the MPEG System layer. Since the completion of the MPEG-2 standard in 1994 he has managed engineering teams working on a number of television products. Dr. Cherry has also recently been contributing to SMPTE and the SCTE in the area of MPEG stream splicing.
