The iControl Penalty Box is a software component that can be deployed directly on top of iControl products or as part of an iControl playout solution. The powerful iControl monitoring solution is enhanced with the addition of a penalty box, which quickly brings operator focus to channels that need extra attention for rapid resolution.

Monitoring by exception “enabler”
Monitoring by exception is to dynamically put forward those signals that need an operator’s attention
Makes it easy to distinguish valid signals from invalid ones
Too many monitors will only make it difficult to distinguish valid signals from invalid ones
Penalty Box allows Monitor wall design in which operator can reserve space for premium services, while ensuring that secondary services get the attention they deserve when an error is detected
