The TAG Multiviewer empowers users to design and manage highly customizable mosaic layouts for real-time monitoring of multiple video and audio channels. The intuitive drag-and-drop system allows channels-filtered by criteria such as label, service, device, or group-to be easily arranged within the mosaic. Users can further personalize their layouts by setting unique names, choosing background colors or images, and leveraging tags for efficient filtering and organization, even in large-scale environments.
Each tile within a layout can be configured and customized with up to eight Under UMDs, tally, audio, text and more, providing clear visual indicators and status information for each channel. The interface supports advanced features such as dynamic UMD updating, on-screen alarm displays, and flexible background customization via color picker or image upload. Once configured, layouts can be quickly assigned to outputs, ensuring that operators have a tailored, actionable view of their monitored streams.
Technical Overview:In addition to its intuitive layout management and customization features, the TAG Multiviewer delivers robust technical performance designed for demanding broadcast and streaming environments. Each MCM instance supports up to 16 independent mosaic outputs per server, with every mosaic capable of displaying up to 100 input sources (tiles) simultaneously. Operators can fully customize the size and arrangement of each tile-including side-by-side split-screen views-and assign up to 32 independent audio pairs per mosaic transport stream output. Each tile supports up to 16 audio tracks and 8 Under Monitor Displays (UMDs), with tally integration via TSL protocol or the TAG API, and dynamic UMD updating for operational flexibility. Mosaic backgrounds can be set using either video or image files, and output resolutions range from SD and HD to UHD, with simultaneous support for uncompressed, compressed (TS), and HLS outputs-including both unicast and multicast delivery.
The system is engineered for ultra-low latency, real-time monitoring, and headless operation, ensuring seamless integration into automated workflows. Advanced features include on-screen clocks, count up/down timers, streamed JPEG thumbnails for each input, and specialized display modes such as Carousel and Penalty Box for dynamic monitoring scenarios. Custom tile layouts can be configured and assigned to outputs through the Layouts Configuration interface, which supports powerful filtering by tags, groups, and channel attributes for efficient management at scale. These capabilities make the TAG Multiviewer a scalable, responsive, and highly customizable monitoring platform, ideal for complex, mission-critical operations.
