Abstract
A content processing device is configured to selectively receive a media signal from a media signal provider. A distribution device is configured to selectively receive a media signal from the content processing device, and to selectively provide one or more command signals to the content processing device. A computer is configured to selectively receive the media signal from the distribution device, and to selectively provide commands to the distribution device. The distribution device is further configured to provide the received one or more commands to the content processing device via the one or more command signals.
Claims22
A system, comprising:
- a plurality of content processing devices, each configured to selectively receive a media signal from a media signal provider;
- a distribution device that is configured to selectively receive a media signal from at least some of the plurality of content processing devices, and to selectively provide one or more command signals to the plurality of content processing devices;
- and
- a computer that is configured to selectively receive the media signal from the distribution device, and to selectively provide commands to the distribution device,
- the distribution device being further configured to provide the received media signals to a computer via a network and to provide the received one or more commands to the content processing device via the one or more command signals, and
- the computer being further configured to send the one or more commands to, and receive the media signal from, the distribution device, and to interpret instructions from a test script.
A system, comprising:
- a content processing device that is configured to selectively receive a media signal from a media signal provider;
- a distribution device that is configured to selectively receive a media signal from the content processing device, and to selectively provide one or more command signals to the content processing device;
- and
- a computer that is configured to selectively receive the media signal from the distribution device, and to selectively provide commands to the distribution device, the distribution device being further configured to provide the received one or more commands to the content processing device via the one or more command signals.
A method, comprising:
- providing a media signal from a content processing device to a distribution device;
- receiving the media signal, in a computer, from the distribution device;
- providing a first command from the computer to the distribution device;
- providing a second command, from the distribution device, based on the first command, to the content processing device;
- monitoring the received media signal in the computer to determine if the content processing device has experienced a failure event;
- and
- creating a log entry if a failure event has occurred, and providing a command if no failure event has occurred.
A computer-readable medium comprising instructions tangibly embodied thereon, the instructions including instructions for:
- receiving a media signal from a distribution device that is in communication with a content processing device;
- providing a command to the distribution device for the content processing device;
- monitoring the received media signal;
- determining if the content processing device has experienced a failure event;
- and
- creating a log entry if a failure event has occurred, and providing a command if no failure event has occurred,
