Digital Media Logger

Media logging is the process of capturing audio and video, usually in low quality format, and preserving the recordings for a large number of days, usually 2 or 3 months. In most countries media logging is obligatory by law for all TV broadcasters, but it can also be used for advertisement certification, audio/video quality surveillance, competition monitoring and media rebroadcasting.

DML Video Recorder: Non Stop A/V Loggingand IP Streaming

Axel Tech DML records A/V contents coming from the widest variety of sources (composite, Y/C, SDI, HDMI, Antenna, SAT, DVBT, DVBC, ATSC, IP, etc) and stores them on Hard Disk (recordings stay on line depending on hard disks capacity, usually: 30/60/90 days as required by laws in many countries).

Axel Tech DML system is totally maintenance free and oldest recordings are overwritten by the newest ones automatically. Video compression/quality vary according to the archive space and the logging period chosen. Recording quality may be as high as HD BROADCAST quality. Content is accessible from the DML as well from any networked computer, never stopping the recording.

System status is constantly monitored either locally, thanks to DML-embedded tools, as well as from any networked computer running the DML Monitor free software.

Whenever rising, alarms may be notified via email or SMS.

DML Recorder supports a large variety of video formats, compressions and resolutions, from the efficient DIVX and MP4 in H264 and AAC, to the more traditional MPEG-1, MPEG-2. DML files are standard multimedia files, which can also be played on any ordinary multimedia player.

Simultaneous capture and Windows Media or RTMP Flash streaming allows viewing of encoded A/V signal from anywhere through Internet. Date and time display are superimposed onto video signal or embedded into the A/V data stream. Accurate date and time certification is guaranteed through synchronization to GPS satellites time reference with AxelTech’s Sat Time Synchronizer receiver.

DML Recorder status is constantly monitored by auto-diagnostic tools. In case of alarms, the operator is warned via email or SMS.

Monitored parameters: Disk activity / video presence / video freeze / audio presence / instant data-rate / average data-rate / A/V stream integrity. DML architecture is future-proof and conceived for the easiest integration of any new video format.
