Kijito

Configuration

Overview

A feature which sets Kijito apart from its competitors is its configurability.

At its simplest level, Kijito can capture a single transport stream and check for simple content issues. Alternatively, a Kijito system can capture an entire set of transport streams and validate each stream with respect both to itself and to the other streams.

Kijito is not tied rigidly to the published standards; it is designed such that its monitoring and analysis capabilities can be used in various locations within real broadcast chains. Deviation from standards is supported and can be explicitly monitored.

Benefits

  • ISO/IEC 13818-1 & ETSI EN 300 468 compliant stream monitoring
  • Private table and descriptor support
  • Specialist data monitoring options
  • Support for ETSI TR 101 211 monitoring of table rates
  • XML-based configuration of Kijito sub-systems

Illustrations

It is often necessary to generate metadata variants for different geographic regions. A distribution network carries this data to those regions and then delivers the correct content to the broadcast networks.

A centralized metadata generation system can be directly monitored by a Kijito system, validating the initial production of PSI/SI table before they are distributed to the regions. Within each region, Kijito can ensure that the metadata has been distributed correctly. And, by combining the two options, it becomes easier to identify the source of metadata faults.
