[sbe-eas] DTV EAS Logging Question

[Stephen Weber]

I think there might be a market out there for an "all-in-one" monitor receiver that can provide air monitor output(s), EAS+ verification decoding and data, plus carrier loss and audio/video loss data as appropriate.

Thoughts, anyone?

  Bob-

  Observation is a great thing, but what about the DTV stations that are automated? Or the stations that are running more than 3 or 4 programming streams-that's a lot of TV to watch in a short amount of time. As for digital radio, yes, I expect the problem is the same.observation is a good thing but can you really check everything in the 8 or 10 seconds that an RWT takes? I'm thinking that particularly for the automated radio and TV stations, there will be a need for some kind of record, perhaps something similar to a program log, that will provide solid confirmation that the test or activation ran on each program stream.

  We verify the same as any other station digital or analog; an operator observes the test and logs it's success or failure.  The test runs the same as any other station.
