Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram schematically showing an IP-based broadcasting streaming monitoring system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The IP-based broadcasting streaming monitoring system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a streaming providing unit 109, a converter 108, an IP network switch (network switch) 110, an IP monitoring apparatus 120, a streaming network switch 122, an integrated system manager device 130, a management network switch 132, a multi-viewer device 140, and an observation screen multi-viewer device 150. The components included in the IP-based broadcast streaming monitoring system are not limited thereto.

The IP-based broadcasting streaming monitoring system according to an embodiment of the present invention monitors both the original streaming video transmitted from the broadcasting company and the streaming video output from the set-top box 107 for home use. The IP based broadcast streaming monitoring system monitors the broadcast stream delivered to the actual subscriber network. That is, the IP-based broadcasting streaming monitoring system can monitor how the actual subscriber watches the broadcasting stream outputted from the set-top box 107 of the streaming providing unit 109.

The streaming providing unit 109 transmits each monitored streaming source to the IP network switch 110. The streaming providing unit 109 includes an IRD (Integrated Receiver Device) 106, a set-top box 107, an IP TV service, and other IP video services. The streaming providing unit 109 may be implemented in a broadcasting transmission center of a service provider (for example, an IPTV provider). The streaming providing unit 109 transmits each monitoring target stream. In general, an IRD (Integrated Recorder Device) 106 or a set-top box 107 outputs a decoded image in an HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) or SDI format.

The converter 108 converts the HDMI or SDI signal received from the IRD 106 or the set-top box 107 into IP streaming and delivers it to the IP network switch 110. In other words, when an image is output from the set-top box 107 or the IRD 106 in the HDMI or SDI format, the converter 108 converts the image to IP streaming, not to a connected display (e.g., TV).

The set-top box 107 is generally connected to a TV using HDMI, and the output of the set-top box 107 can not be directly connected to the IP monitoring apparatus 120. Therefore, the converter 108 converts the signal output from the set-top box 107 in the HDMI or SDI format to IP. When a set-top box 107 outputs a signal in the HDMI or SDI format, it is converted into IP streaming by connecting with the converter 108 instead of connecting to the TV. The IRD 106 also outputs HDMI or SDI, and is converted to IP streaming through the converter 108 in the same manner as the case of the set-top box 107. If the output of the IRD 106 is IP streaming, it may be connected to the IP network switch 110 without going through the converter 108. The IP stream that is converted and output from the converter 108 is transmitted to the IP monitoring apparatus 120 via the IP network switch 110.

The IP network switch 110 receives the stream to be monitored from the streaming providing unit 109. The IP network switch 110 transmits the original streaming image for the monitoring target stream to the IP monitoring apparatus 120 and the observation screen multi viewer apparatus 150. IP network switch 110 refers to general network switch equipment. The IP network switch 110 receives the service stream for each channel from the streaming provider 109.

The IP monitoring apparatus 120 receives an original streaming video for a plurality of channels from the IP network switch 110, compares the original streaming video with a preset reference, and generates an alarm message when an error is detected. The IP monitoring apparatus 120 resizes the original streaming video to a preset size and outputs the transcoding stream that has undergone transcoding.

The IP monitoring apparatus 120 may be implemented in an IP TV service center. The IP monitoring apparatus 120 receives the original streaming image directly from the IP network switch 110. The original streaming video has an IP streaming address for streaming such as multicasting and unicasting.

The IP monitoring apparatus 120 transmits the transcoding stream to the multi-viewer apparatus 140. The IP monitoring apparatus 120 decodes the original streaming image received from the IP network switch 110 and then scans the screen so that the capacity of the original streaming image having a high resolution (for example, FHD, UHD, etc.) In order to reduce the capacity, the transcoding stream having been subjected to the transcoding resized to a predetermined size is generated, and then the transcoding stream is transmitted to the multi-viewer device 140. For example, the IP monitoring apparatus 120 outputs a transcoding stream that has been transcoded by resizing the original streaming image having the FHD resolution (or UHD resolution) to a preset size.

The IP monitoring apparatus 120 outputs the original streaming video for a plurality of channels from the IP network switch 110 and outputs the transcoding stream that has been transcoded by resizing the original streaming video into a predetermined size. The transcoding streaming may be multicasting It may or may not be unicasting. Broadcasting is selected according to the network configuration or the purpose and method of use of the transcoding streaming.

The IP monitoring device 120 delivers the transcoded streaming (e.g., FHD, lower resolution than UHD) to the multi-viewer device 140. The multi-viewer device 140 receives and decodes transcoded streaming (e.g., an image encoded stream having a resolution lower than that of the FHD, UHD), receives and decodes one or more channels at the same time, And outputs them to a corresponding display (for example, a TV) in the form of HDMI or the like. For example, if it is assumed that the IP monitoring apparatus 120 manages a total of 200 channels, and that one multi-viewer 140 can manage about 20 channels, ten multi-viewer apparatuses 140 each have 20 A total of 200 channels can be displayed in 10 monitoring screens. The ten multi-viewer devices can be managed by one or more integrated system manager devices 130.

The IP monitoring apparatus 120 is not necessarily implemented as one unit, but may be implemented in a plurality of units according to the number of channels. For example, if 200 channels can be processed alone per IP monitoring apparatus 120, and a further 200 channels are added to process a total of 400 channels, the first IP monitoring apparatus may include 1 to 200 channels , And the second IP monitoring apparatus can process up to 201 ~ 400 channels.

The IP monitoring apparatus 120 monitors the main service stream including the IPTV service stream included in the streaming provider 109 and the output of the set-top box 107, the IRD 106, and the like.

The IP monitoring apparatus 120 transmits the transcoding stream, which is obtained by decoding each original streaming image for a plurality of channels received from the IP network switch 110 and resizing the original streaming image to a preset size, . The output of the IP monitoring device 120 is streaming. The IP monitoring apparatus 120 decodes each of the original streaming images for a predetermined number of channels (e.g., 200 channels), resizes the streaming video to a preset size, and outputs the transcoded stream in a streaming format.

The IP monitoring apparatus 120 can detect an error in a state in which the original streaming is not transcoded, that is, in the original stream state and the original decoding video state. The IP monitoring apparatus 120 receives the original streaming for a plurality of channels from the IP network switch 110, compares the original streaming with a preset reference, detects an error, and generates an alarm message for the error. The IP monitoring apparatus 120 transmits an alarm message to the integrated system manager apparatus 130. At this time, an alarm message may be directly transmitted to the multi-viewer device 140 and processed according to the equipment configuration or the operation scenario.

The IP monitoring apparatus 120 receives an original streaming image for a plurality of channels from the IP network switch 110, decodes the original streaming image, resizes the original streaming image to a predetermined size, and outputs a transcoded stream to a transcoding streaming output. And transmits it to the multi-viewer device 140 using the network switch 122. The IP monitoring apparatus 120 can transmit the transcoding stream to the outside using the streaming network switch 122 or the network switch 132 for management.

The IP monitoring apparatus 120 receives the original streaming video and compares the original streaming video with a preset reference to detect an error (for example, when a black screen is continuously detected, when a screen is not displayed, when no sound is heard, when a streaming connection is broken, When a problem occurs in timing, or when a delay occurs), an alarm message is generated and output based on the error detection history. The IP monitoring apparatus 120 transmits an alarm message to the integrated system manager apparatus 130. The IP monitoring apparatus 120 generates an alarm and an alarm according to the error occurrence level after the error is detected.

The streaming network switch 122 performs a function of relaying data between the IP monitoring apparatus 120 and the multi-viewer apparatus 140. In a general configuration, the streaming network switch 122 or the management network switch 132 are physically separated from each other and operate independently of each other. However, when the transmission / reception data throughput is small or a simple network configuration is required, the streaming network switch 122 and the management network switch 132 may be used as the same network switch.

The integrated system manager device 130 receives an alarm message from the IP monitoring device 120 via the management network switch 132. [ The integrated system manager device 130 extracts an error channel corresponding to the alarm message and controls the multi viewer device 140 corresponding to the error channel among the plurality of the multi viewer devices 140 to display an alarm.

The integrated system manager device 130 controls the overall operation of the multi-viewer device 140 to reduce the load on the multi-viewer device 140.

The integrated system manager device 130 controls the multi-viewer device 140 based on predetermined setting information. The integrated system manager device 130 receives an alarm message from the IP monitoring device 120 and then automatically or by a user command when an alarm message or a corresponding channel screen is selected (e.g., double-clicked) And controls the corresponding error channel to be displayed on the 'observation screen' of the observation screen multi-viewer device 150. The screen displayed on the 'observation screen' of the observation screen multi-viewer device 150 may be an original streaming image or a transcoded streaming image. At this time, the screen of the multi viewer device 140 corresponding to the error channel of the multi viewer device 140 is displayed as it is, and the alarm information corresponding to the alarm details and the visible and audible effect (for example, enlargement, blinking, , Alarm information text display, etc.) on the corresponding channel screen.

The integrated system manager device 130 controls the image output from the multi-viewer device 140 and the image output from the 'observation screen' to be simultaneously reproduced. The integrated system manager device 130 can collectively configure and control a plurality of (for example, 10 to 20) multi-viewer devices 140 and one or more IP monitoring devices 120. The integrated system manager device 130 registers a plurality of (for example, 10 to 20) multi-viewer devices 140 after the device is first booted and then determines which channel the registered multi-viewer device 140 receives Lt; / RTI >

The integrated system manager device 130 uses the IP addresses (192.xxx.xxx.xxx) of each of the plurality of registered multi-viewer devices 140 (for example, 10 to 20 devices) And instructs the IP monitoring apparatus 120 and the multi-viewer apparatus 140 to receive the channel and forward it to any IP address, i.e., the multi-viewer apparatus 140. If a plurality of channels (for example, 200 channels) are loaded and listed in the integrated system manager device 130 by setting, the channels 1 to 20 are delivered to the first viewer 140 according to the list, The channels 21 to 40 are transmitted to the second multi viewer device 140, the channels 41 to 80 are transmitted to the third multi viewer device 140, the channels 81 to 90 are transmitted to the fourth multi viewer device 140, The channels 91 to 126 are transmitted to the fifth multi-viewer device 140, the channels 127 to 150 are transmitted to the sixth multi-viewer device 140, the channels 151 to 165 are transmitted to the multi- The channels 166 to 180 are transmitted to the multi viewer apparatus 140, the channels 181 to 190 are transmitted to the multi viewer apparatus 140, the channels 191 to 200 are transmitted to the multi viewer apparatus 140, 10 to the multi viewer apparatus 140, and so on. When the integrated system manager apparatus 130 executes the set information, the multi-viewer apparatus 140 transmits the transcoding stream to the IP monitoring apparatus 120 when the IP monitoring apparatus 120 outputs the transcoding stream in a unicast manner Transcoding streaming is received and decoded. When the IP monitoring apparatus 120 outputs the transcoding stream in a multicast manner, it receives and decodes the stream corresponding to the transcoding streaming address of the channel allocated to the multi viewer apparatus 140.

The integrated system manager device 130 sets up the IP monitoring device 120 and the multi-viewer device 140. The integrated system manager device 130 may register the multi-viewer device 140 in advance and transmit a command to change the image output from the multi-viewer device 140 in real time.

The integrated system manager device 130 registers one or more IP monitoring devices 120 and registers a plurality of the multi-viewer devices 140. The integrated system manager device 130 sets each command that matches the channel information for each IP address of the multi-viewer device 140, and then executes the command. In this case, the multicasting address may be matched instead of the IP address of the multi viewer device 140. This is for a case where one channel is intended to be displayed simultaneously in one or more multi viewer devices 140.

The integrated system manager device 130 integrally manages the multi-viewer devices 140, changes the preset size for resizing in the IP monitoring device 120, changes the IP address of the multi-viewer devices 140 matched to the channel information, Controls registration and change (destination change) of multicasting address.

The integrated system manager device 130 displays a screen of the multi viewer device 140 corresponding to an error channel (a channel in which a warning or alarm occurs) among a plurality of the multi viewer devices 140 to display a visible visual effect (enlargement, blink, Lattice display, warning sound, etc.).

The integrated system manager device 130 receives an alarm message from the IP monitoring device 120. For example, the integrated system manager device 130 extracts an error channel corresponding to an alarm message, and outputs a beep signal to a screen (for example, a 3 × 3 position) of a viewer corresponding to an error channel in the multi viewer device 140 , A predetermined color (e.g., red), and controls blinking. The integrated system manager device 130 controls the viewer to display a red color on the screen of the viewer corresponding to the error channel (for example, the 3 × 3 position), and controls the text to appear on the error information.

The integrated system manager device 130 controls the multi-viewer device 140 based on the alarm message received from the IP monitoring device 120. The integrated system manager device 130 confirms the error channel based on the alarm message, confirms the error code, and transmits a corresponding command to the multi viewer device 140 or the observation screen multi viewer device 140 via the management network switch 132 (150).

The integrated system manager device 130 stores all the channel information, error information, and destination information of the plurality of multi-viewer devices 140, and controls the output of the plurality of multi-viewer devices 140 according to need.

When the integrated system manager device 130 continuously monitors an alarm message received from the IP monitoring device 120 and receives an alarm message, the integrated system manager device 130 extracts an error channel corresponding to the alarm message, And extracts the multi-viewer corresponding to the error channel.

The integrated system manager device 130 transmits an operation command corresponding to the alarm message to the multi-viewer device 140 corresponding to the alarm message. For example, when the integrated system manager device 130 identifies the error channel corresponding to the alarm message as the '17' channel, it checks whether the '17' channel exists in the multi viewer device 140. Then, the integrated system manager device 130 transmits an operation command corresponding to the '17th channel' alarm message, for example, an expansion command, to the corresponding multi-viewer device 140. The multi-viewer device 140 enlarges the image corresponding to the '17th channel', for example, twice.

The integrated system manager device 130 has a port number matched with an IP address (unicast address) or a multicast address.

The integrated system manager device 130 may perform grouping and labeling on the registered channels. For example, the integrated system manager device 130 may group a plurality of channels at the same position in each row vertically into one line or a plurality of lines, or may group a plurality of channels at the same position in each line into one line or a plurality of lines . Also, grouping may be performed based on a line or an area, or a specific channel may be selected and grouped. The integrated system manager device 130 may label the grouped group and input the group name. Thereafter, the integrated system manager device 130 recognizes the grouped groups as one and performs labeling for each group or moves the grouped groups. In other words, when the manager moves all 200 channels by drag & drop method, it takes a lot of time, and it is possible to save time when moving the group by group.

The integrated system manager device 130 transmits an alarm message and a transcoded image to a previously registered external terminal (mobile phone, PC). For example, the integrated system manager device 130 can transmit a message " Press the URL to check for a black screen error on the channel # 37 and related video " to the mobile phone. The administrator can check the alarm message at the remote site. If the user presses the URL included in the alarm message, the administrator can check the 10 second recorded image before or after the error by downloading or streaming using the mobile phone. To view the current status of the channel included in the alarm message, the administrator can select '37 Channel' to check the current transcoded image. The integrated system manager device 130 can transmit the alarm image to the pre-registered PC through the push method or the full method through the confirmation of the alarm message in the PC.

The management network switch 132 functions to relay control signals between the IP monitoring apparatus 120, the integrated system manager apparatus 130, the multi-viewer apparatus 140, and the observation screen multi-viewer apparatus 150. The management network switch 132 is a network switch for management and control signal transmission and reception and transmits an alarm message generated from the IP monitoring apparatus 120 to the integrated system manager device 130, And transmits / receives a control signal for performing an operation corresponding to the generated alarm message to the multi-viewer device 150 for the screen.

The multi-viewer device 140 receives the transcoding stream from the IP monitoring device 120 via the networking switch 122 for streaming. The viewing screen multi-viewer device 150 receives the original streaming video from the IP network switch 110. The viewing screen multi-viewer device 150 may receive the stream transcoded from the IP monitoring device 120 via the streaming network switch 122 or may receive the original streaming video from the IP network switch 110 . And outputs the stream of the input channel of the IP monitoring apparatus 120, which has been transcoded, to the screen of any one of the screens of the plurality of viewer devices 140 according to a predetermined path.

When the IP monitoring apparatus 120 outputs the transcoding stream in a unicasting manner on the basis of the information set by the integrated system manager apparatus 130, When the IP monitoring apparatus 120 outputs the transcoding stream in a multicasting manner, the IP monitoring apparatus 120 receives the transcoding stream corresponding to the channel corresponding to the registered multicast address Output

Each of the plurality of multi-viewer devices 140 is connected to a display (e.g., a TV). The multi-viewer devices 140 of the present invention are capable of communicating with the integrated system manager device 130. In a typical multi-viewer system, devices are not organically connected to external servers, such as a consolidation manager. That is, in a general multi-viewer system, a single server does not receive the integrated control, and if there is an input image, the multi-viewer system merely binds and outputs the input image to an external display device.

The multi-viewer device 140 decodes the transcoding stream received from the IP monitoring device 120, and then decodes the received transcoding stream to a connected display (not shown) For example, TV) in a predetermined manner (e.g., HDMI system). The multi-viewer device 140 may control each of the transcoding streams received from the IP monitoring device 120. In a typical multi-viewer device, you need to disconnect the physical HDMI cable and connect it to another port or other multi-viewer to change the destination of the preset channel.

Since the multi-viewer device 140 is a streaming method that receives only the transcoding stream corresponding to the channel matched according to the IP address and the port number or only the transcoding stream matched according to the multicasting address, the integrated system manager device The destination of the channel is changed by changing only the destination matching information. The multi-viewer device 140 decodes the received transcoding stream via the streaming network switch 122, displays the decoded image at a predetermined position on the predetermined display, and outputs the decoded image in the HDMI mode.

Only the step of outputting from the multi-viewer device 140 to the display device is the HDMI method, and the steps up to this point are IP-based signals. The multi-viewer device 140 receives the decoding information and the alarm message related information acquired from the transcoding stream on a channel-by-channel basis and displays the received information. The multi-viewer device 140 decodes the transcoding stream received from the IP monitoring device 120, and then constructs a screen in a predetermined format with a decoded image of another channel received together. The multi-viewer device 140 receives error information and an alarm signal from the integrated system manager device 130 and arranges and displays the error information and the alarm signal when the screen is configured.

When receiving the alarm message for the channel and the related control signal from the integrated system manager device 130, the multi-viewer device 140 generates the alarm message and the related control signal corresponding to the preset time (for example, ± 10 seconds) Transcoding Streaming streams are bundled and stored. Such a storage function may also be performed by the multi-viewer device 150 for an observation screen or the IP monitoring device 120, and may be an original streaming corresponding to a preset time (for example, ± 10 seconds) Streams can be bundled or stored, or a transcoded stream stream can be stored.

The multi-viewer apparatus 140 receives and decodes the transcoding streams from the IP monitoring apparatus 120, and then configures the decoded streams into predetermined screens (e.g., 24), and outputs the decoded streams to the display. There is a case where registration is made in the multi-viewer apparatus for viewing screen 150 among the plurality of multi-viewer apparatuses 140. That is, the integrated system manager device 130 registers the observation multi-viewer 150 as a specific multi-viewer device among the plurality of multi-viewer devices 140. For example, if '7th multi-viewer device' among the plurality of multi-viewer devices 140 is registered in the integrated system manager device 130 as an observation screen multi-viewer, '7th multi viewer device' An observation screen output requirement such as a channel selected by the operator is specified in advance, and when a channel corresponding to the requirement occurs, the receiver receives and decodes the transcoding stream or the original stream for the channel, and then displays it on the 'observation screen'. At this time, the corresponding channel displayed in the existing multi-viewer device 140 is maintained. Also, it is possible to previously select and manage a channel that can be outputted to the observation-screen multi-viewer device 150. If a channel corresponding to a predetermined observation screen output requirement is generated for the 50 channels, the entire channel to be monitored, for example, 200 out of 50 channels, is designated as an object to be displayed on the observation screen of the multi-viewer for observation screen. On the observation screen.
