Bridge’s new WebUI design harmonises the layout across all of its probe models, making them easier to navigate, more responsive and more precise, with options for visualising deep data.
Bridge Technologies has redesigned its web-based user interface, making it suitable for deployment with any of the devices in their lineup of IP probes. The new design works across the VBC, VB330, VB220, VB120 and NOMAD product range, making it easier for engineers and operators to work directly between devices and to access the information they need faster and with greater clarity.
Bridge has focussed on creating visual representations of complex data that reveal network patterns at a glance, ranging from the MediaWindow that gives access to packet behaviour and media loss information, to VBC Live video presentation layer and StreamOverview. These features give users a clean, uncluttered view combined with the ability to immediately drill into deeper insights instantly. Now, those same principles have been applied across all Bridge probes, making them easier to navigate, more responsive, and more visually precise.
Key enhancements include a simpler, more dynamic interface, and a vertical top-level navigation bar for quick access to summaries of monitoring data. Aggregated thumbnail, mediaWindow and microETR views are available for faster visual scanning. Content thumbnail search and sort includes Penalty Box functionality to instantly locate critical streams.
Tables now update faster and are more dynamic to improve responsiveness, and with ETR290 alarm monitor and analysis configuration and status in the same context, switching between screens to get a full picture is no longer necessary. Users can also set a dark or light mode to suit different environments.
Bridge has aimed to make it possible to dig deeper when the situation demands, that is, simplifying day-to-day operations while maintaining the precision and depth required for expert analysis. The new UI prioritises menu options and visuals that matter most, without concealing complex detail.
Simen Frostad, Chairman of Bridge Technologies, commented, “The insights the probes generate about a network can at times be overwhelming to the user. More recently, as the range of functionalities and insight-generating tools has continued to expand across our full line-up of probes, we saw a need for a UI overhaul.
“Recognising that deep data is only valuable if it is also usable and intuitive, and because visual clarity and usability are as critical to good decisions as the data itself, our core philosophy is to ‘make the complex simple’. Monitoring tools need to make sense to the person using them, in the moment they need it.” www.bridgetech.tv
