Melbourne, Australia – 23 July 2024: Mediaproxy, the global standard for software-based IP compliance solutions, already plays a central role in TV distribution with its LogServer compliance monitoring system and is now pushing into media data aggregation and orchestration through a growing technical partnership with Skyline Communications, developer of the DataMiner transformation platform.

The two manufacturers will each be demonstrating how the two systems can be integrated on their respective stands during IBC 2024 and discussing what it offers customers of both companies. Integration between LogServer and DataMiner first began in 2017 but was based around APIs and primarily focused on the data collection control panel of the Skyline system.

A closer and more formalized working relationship began approximately a year and a half ago when Mediaproxy’s and Skyline’s engineering teams started to collaborate on improving connectivity between their products. In addition to improving the integration between LogServer and DataMiner, the aim was to make the process of accessing using the data obtained from the interaction between the two systems much smoother.

DataMiner is a data acquisition, control and orchestration platform with a wide range of real-time monitoring and analytical capabilities, and includes artificial intelligence features such as forecasting, anomaly detection or automatic incident tracking. DataMiner Cloud Services enhance the DataMiner stack functions to provide secure dashboard and data sharing with external users, remote access or direct integration in Microsoft Teams. Being vendor-, protocol- and technology-agnostic, DataMiner’s data and control plane creates a digital twin of the entire infrastructure and operation.

In this way DataMiner is able to access information gathered by and recorded on to LogServer, such as what programs and commercials have been distributed on a particular network. This can then be aggregated to give broadcasters a full view of what is being transmitted and where it is being watched.

This integration was first demonstrated at NAB Show in Las Vegas during April and will again form a major part of both displays by Mediaproxy (Stand 5.D72) and Skyline Communications (Stand 1.A57) at IBC 2024 in Amsterdam. “We were demonstrating a showcase application at the NAB Show and will have that again at IBC,” explains Thomas Gunkel, global market director broadcast at Skyline Communications. “The intention is to show our users a real-life use case, with the connector that is already in place plus an easy-to-create and highly customizable data consumption layer on top of it, which is able to analyze the (SCTE) triggers in a stream as well as filtering information about the status of the media being carried. ”

Erik Otto, chief executive of Mediaproxy, comments: “There has been a technology relationship between Mediaproxy and Skyline Communications for some time, but it is only in the last year or so that it has become a formal collaboration. It is a partnership that is bringing our two companies closer together and will see more integration with third party products. The demonstration at the NAB Show laid out how LogServer and DataMiner are now working together, and we hope to show the latest developments in this exciting, ongoing collaboration at IBC.”
