DENVER -- The benefits of a new National Video Operations Center (NVOC) at Comcast’s Dry Creek Facility in Colorado are being extended to customers of its HITS business unit. The NVOC, which replaces the Operations Management Center, provides national video transport and MPEG monitoring for video content delivered via satellite and terrestrial fiber to Comcast Cable systems, other cable operators and programming partners.

Using a new proprietary monitoring and control system, NVOC’s technicians monitor services from source acquisition to output distribution. The innovative system allows remote device monitoring, redundancy control, alarming and dynamic video routing. In addition, the team uses tools to analyze MPEG transport streams to proactively identify problems.

The new IP-based monitoring provides the ability to monitor an entire mux (statistical multiplex of multiple linear video channels) within seconds, giving NVOC a holistic view of all the content being delivered on a transport.
