Starz Entertainment has commissioned the Observer Enterprise network from Volicon at its placement trickery in Englewood, CO, to guard 31 SD and 14 HD channels opposite the company's reward STARZ, ENCORE, and MOVIEPLEX channels. The Observer network enables the Starz announce operations organisation to guard off-air channels and gives its engineers collection for both monitoring and troubleshooting. The network moreover supports correspondence for closed captioning and for interstitials run on the Starz Entertainment reward channels.

The Observer Enterprise is a entirely redundant, programmed record-and-search apparatus for media monitoring and compliance. Unlike the formerly recording network at Starz, that compulsory customer program to watch video, the Volicon programmed logging and monitoring network gives staff via the firm evident desktop access to 90 days of available video and audio information by a singular Web browser customer application.

Providing larger recording ability at non-static bit rates and resolution, the Observer offers higher-quality streaming and effective use of network bandwidth, that creates it simpler for Starz staff to rapidly pick out anomalies in audio and video.

The Observer moreover enables monitoring of all audio tracks, inclusive Dolby, PCM audio, and SAP audio, and allows operators to randomize the languages identified as first and lesser audio tracks. This will be quite utilitarian for Starz as the firm introduces its first Spanish-language channel, along with two new HD channels, in Aug 2011.
