[SatNews] SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation, a leading Japanese satellite communications company and platform operator of multichannel pay TV satellite broadcasting services, has installed the award-winning Volicon Observer(r) digital logging and monitoring solution.

By providing a continuous log of broadcast content across more than 100 SKY Perfect channels, the Observer is ensuring that the network maintains compliance with Japanese broadcasting regulations. With assistance from Volicon reseller HOIE SANGYO Company Ltd., SKY Perfect has installed several multichannel Observer systems: one at its Aomi Broadcasting Center to monitor 76 analog channels and four SD-SDI channels, and another at the broadcaster’s new SKY PerfecTV! Tokyo Media Center to monitor 18 channels of HD-SDI content and 20 channels of SD-SDI. The Observer systems provide an archive of all broadcast content that is stored for at least three months, in compliance with Japanese regulations. Operators can access the system from an easy-to-use web interface to search for, retrieve, and view specific video clips quickly for media mentions.
