Bridge Technologies Wins NewBay Media's Best of Show Award

Gold TS Reference, Bridge Technologies' system for more accurate digital media monitoring, has been awarded NewBay Media's Best of Show Award 2015, presented by TV Technology magazine.

Making its debut at NAB, Gold TS Reference makes monitoring for digital services quicker to set up, and fault-tracking much faster and secure. Developed by Bridge Technologies, Gold TS Reference includes all the checks specified in the ETR290 standard, also including testing for critical conditions missed by ETR290.

Conditions like failures of the conditional access system, errors in the program guide, and unintended language changes seriously affect subscribers, but standard monitoring systems based only on ETR290 do not raise any alert for these conditions. Services protected by Gold TS Reference catch these 'ETR290-legal' errors and provide a much more valuable real-world quality assurance for operators of digital media services.

"We are enormously proud of our Best of Show recipients," says NewBay Media Broadcast & Video Group Vice President & Group Publisher, Eric Trabb. "Recognition with an award at the NAB Show from NewBay Media's Broadcast & Video Group is a strong vote of confidence and admiration from our leading industry publications."

Receiving the Newbay Best of Show Award, Bridge Technologies' Chairman, Simen Frostad, said: "Gold TS Reference is based on a simple idea, and replacing complexity with simplicity is our goal as a manufacturer. The simplicity makes it far more efficient to use than conventional technology, and it provides a much more accurate and comprehensive monitoring safety-net which catches those error conditions that are beyond the scope of ETR290."

NewBay Media's Best of Show Awards are evaluated by a panel of engineers and industry experts, and are selected based on innovation, feature set, cost efficiency and performance in serving the industry.
