Thanks to its relative simplicity, installing
a UNITAM peoplemeter comes down to three simple steps:
1) Inserting a special pass-through connector at the
output of each device connected to the TV set
2) Connecting the opposite extreme to an available port
of the peoplemeter.
3) Declaring the type of device connected to the selected
port.
The universal nature of the underlying
CTS technology makes it unnecessary to make any further
adjustments. Most importantly, no decisions need to
be made by the installer upon different TV configurations,
since they are actually irrelevant to the recognition
process, what makes the UNITAM peoplemeter installable
by just about anyone with a minimum affinity with technical
matters.
Remote Maintenance & Setup
The simplicity of the UNITAM peoplemeter
in terms of its connection to the TV environment not
only eases the work of the installer; it also opens
the door to a revolutionary technology capable of transforming
the TAM reality in terms of field requirements. UNITAM
peoplemeters include advanced software that allows remote
connection to any meter in a household from any remote
site and even simultaneous connections from two geographically
distant points into the same meter. This powerful feature
is part of the Remote Maintenance & Setup (RMS)
technology that allows UNITAM installations to be supervised
by skilled technicians from base, so that the peoplemeters
can be installed by personnel having minimum technical
skills.
The UNITAM advanced setup technology
allows redefining the traditional TAM field services
organization by moving the expertise from the field
to the base where a reduced number of "controllers"
supervise and assist a team of “installers”
that can be trained in a few hours (the field force
can even be outsourced).
