Abstract: A system and method for controlling delivery of broadcast content are described. They include a broadcast device configured to receive a first media stream from a first content source, provide the first media stream for broadcast transmission in a broadcast communication network while operating in a first operating mode. They further include a diagnostic device configured to monitor at least one characteristic of the quality of the first media stream from at least one location in the broadcast communication network, generate at least one control signal in response to a determination that a value for the at least one characteristic exceeds a threshold value, provide the at least one control signal over the broadcast communication network. The broadcast device is further configured to select a second operating mode in response to receiving at least one control signal, the second operating mode being different from the first operating mode.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for dynamically monitoring at least one media stream in a signal communication system are described. They include receiving at least one media stream, wherein the media stream(s) are capable of being monitored at a plurality of locations and selecting at least one characteristic associated with the media stream(s) in response to a first user input. They also include generating a first display component in a graphical user interface (GUI), including a visual representation of the at least one characteristic for a first received media stream and generating a second display component in the GUI in response to a second user input, including a visual representation of the at least one characteristic for a second received media stream that is related to the first received media stream, wherein the second display component is dynamically updated in response to a change in the first display component.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program for providing a cross table analysis display in a digital broadcast environment, are discussed. The method includes providing at least two metadata tables of a broadcast stream, performing a cross table analysis on the metadata tables to determine consistency between the metadata tables, and displaying the result of the cross table analysis of the metadata tables using a graphical user interface.

Abstract: A method and system for providing condition information associated with an entity being analyzed. The method includes presenting nodes corresponding to components of the entity according to a tree-like configuration, and providing condition information associated with at least one of the components using the nodes.
