• Remote Monitoring and Control in Television Facilities by Ray Baldock, director of strategic marketing. In an environment where fewer people are running increasingly complex television facilities, new techniques are needed to provide effective management and monitoring of these plants. As smaller operations, they are finding it ever more difficult to justify maintaining on-site staff with the requisite knowledge to quickly diagnose problems. This means that new monitoring systems must be comprehensive, able to flag abnormal conditions, report on errors and maintain exhaustive maintenance records for equipment. In addition, tools must be affordable and easily adapted to both large and small facilities.
