Method and system for monitoring and simultaneously displaying a plurality of signal channels in a communication system
View Patent ↗A system includes a ground segment and a monitoring system displaying first thread view for a first channel and displaying a second thread view for a second channel.
1. A method of operating a monitoring system of a broadcasting system comprising:
generating a first receiver decoder circuit signal at a first receiver decoder circuit for a first channel;
generating a second receiver decoder circuit signal at a second receiver decoder circuit for the first channel;
generating a third receiver decoder circuit signal at a third receiver decoder circuit for a second channel;
generating a fourth receiver decoder circuit signal at a fourth receiver decoder circuit for the second channel; and
generating a monitoring display at the monitoring system formed by simultaneously displaying the first receiver decoder circuit signal that corresponds to a first on-line broadcasting view, the second receiver decoder circuit signal that corresponds to a first offline non-broadcasting view, the third receiver decoder circuit signal that corresponds to a second on-line broadcasting view and the fourth receiver decoder circuit signal that corresponds to a second offline non-broadcasting view.
2. A method as recited in claim 1 further comprising generating a first IRD signal for the first channel at an integrated receiver decoder, displaying the first IRD signal at the monitoring display, generating a second IRD signal for the second channel at an integrated receiver decoder and displaying the second IRD signal at the monitoring display.
3. A method as recited in claim 2 further comprising displaying the first receiver decoder circuit signal, the second receiver decoder circuit signal and the first IRD signal, the third receiver decoder circuit signal, the fourth receiver decoder circuit signal and the second IRD signal simultaneously.
4. A method as recited in claim 2 further comprising generating an output signal corresponding to at least one of an occasional router, a service access processing system router, a primary service access processing system router and a secondary service access processing system router, and displaying the output signal at the monitoring display simultaneously with the first receiver decoder circuit signal, the second receiver decoder circuit signal, the third receiver decoder circuit signal and the fourth receiver decoder circuit signal and the first IRD signal.
5. A method as recited in claim 4 further comprising routing the first receiver decoder circuit signal, the second receiver decoder circuit signal, the third receiver decoder circuit signal and the fourth receiver decoder circuit signal and the output signal to the monitoring display.
