The Master of the codec fleet challenge
Codecs aplenty? Excellent news for journalists who scour and roam on the field to report the news! However, back in the studio the codec fleet manager should work with powerful tools to configure, monitor and control this busy flock, like one good shepherd.
Sitting in the master control room, the codec fleet manager will appreciate working with powerful tools that provide a clear, one-screen interface, that gathers all major data and enables direct and easy bypass access to take over on any remote codec, if needed. Of course, such tools should feature no risk of error or omission and reliable, resilient and secure connections. This is not a matter of comfort for the teams, this is more a matter of efficiency and credibility.
