“OneTouch” Intelligent Operation Platform
With the increasingly intensified competition in real-time information, more and more broadcasters are willing to utilize DSNG systems to transmit on-air programs. However, manual operation and program transmission of DSNG systems is complicated and can only be completed by professional technicians. One Touch Intelligent Operation Platform, developed by Prodigy, is easy to operate and even novices are competent for a formal transmission after simple training. One Touch Intelligent Operation Platform simplifies fixed operation procedures into several software command so that daily operation can be easily completed by one click.
Functions
1. Transimision：“One Touch ” software can complete all operations during the transmission tasks, including automatically tracking, antenna deploy, antenna stow and etc.
2. Trouble Shooting：If any failure occurs, operators can do trouble shooting by checking signals from IRD after IF loop, RF loop and Satellite translator simulation loop. Operators can also compare difference of parameter configurations of current transmission and previous successful transmission.
3. Configuration management：Operator can configure relevant parameters before each transmission to ensure fast deployment of the DSNG system. If one set of the configurations of the same transmission is available in the system, the operator can recall and apply it at once.
4. Parameter configuration：Operator can check or modify parameters by double-clicking the graphics primitive in the system topology at any time during the transmission.
5. Status monitoring：System status is shown in system topology during the transmission. The color Green of Graphics primitive (equipment) indicates normal on-line status, blue indicates normal off-line, yellow indicates minor alarm, red indicates failure, and grey indicates maintenance.
6. Alarm Notification：If it detects any alarm, the system will trigger audible alarm no matter what interface operators are working at. Operators can view all current alarms by entering into the alarm information page.
7. Auto/Manual power control：The system can manually adjust transmitting power in Manual power control mode; the system can automatically adjust transmitting power according to Eb/No in Auto power control mode.
8. Encoder Input and IRD Output monitor：User can choose to monitor Encoder Input or IRD output during transmission and switch between freely.
9. Log and data record：The system can store alarm, failure and parameter changes into data base in real-time. Operators can check it by filter function.

Advantages
· Simple interfaces： Interfaces with a few buttons and thus easy to learn and operate
· Intelligent operation by one-touch：One Touch can complete the whole operation process such as automatic tracking, antenna deploy, antenna stow and etc.
· Fast switching for redundant systems：When failure occurs, operators can initiate switching by double-clicking the graphics primitive of the switch in the system topology.
· Automatic spectrum analyzer configuration：When spectrum analyzer is connected with One-Touch software, the parameters can be automatically configured by software during the automatic tracking, transmission, or system loop testing.
