Abstract

Remote monitoring systems are vital for many systems. Especially in the broadcasting industry, it is critical to keep the broadcasts running 24/7 uninterrupted. It is another challenge to be aware of the interruptions in terrestrial broadcasts on the country's geography and to intervene as soon as possible. For this reason, it is aimed to monitor TRT (Turkish Radio Television Co.) FM and TV transmitters and to gather information about their malfunctions and following station security warning. With the developed system, the follow-up of those responsible has been facilitated, and the response times have been shortened and with the help of motion-sensitive cameras, the security level was increased by taking pictures in the OMC (Operation Monitoring Center). In addition, it is recommended to have appropriate spare materials by ensuring that the teams have information about the type of failure.

Yayın Vericileri için Uzaktan İzleme ve Güvenlik Sistemi Tasarlanması

Abstract

Uzaktan izleme sistemleri birçok sistem için hayati öneme sahiptir. Özellikle yayıncılık sektöründe yayınların 7/24 kesintisiz devam etmesi kritik önem taşımaktadır. Ülke coğrafyasında karasal yayınlardaki kesintilerden haberdar olmak ve en kısa sürede müdahale edebilmek de bir başka zorluktur. Bu nedenle TRT FM ve TV vericilerinin izlenmesi, arızaları hakkında bilgi toplanması ve istasyon güvenlik uyarılarının takip edilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Geliştirilen sistem ile sorumluların takibi kolaylaştırılarak, müdahale süreleri kısaltıldı ve harekete duyarlı kameralar yardımıyla OMC'de (Operasyon İzleme Merkezi) fotoğraf çekilerek güvenlik seviyesi artırılmıştır. Ayrıca ekiplerin arızanın türü hakkında bilgi sahibi olması sağlanarak uygun yedek malzemelerin bulundurulması sağlanmaktadır.
