The broadcast industry is navigating significant technical challenges as IP-based workflows become standard, requiring effective monitoring to maintain quality while managing complex systems and protocols. Media companies face practical challenges integrating streaming and OTT platforms alongside traditional infrastructure while viewers – with more choices than ever before – demand consistent, superior experiences.

TAG’s monitoring platform gives engineers the precise visibility to maintain seamless operations. From content integrity to transport layer stability, SCTE compliance, and realtime visualization, TAG offers comprehensive monitoring at every workflow stage, ensuring efficient and uninterrupted performance.
Monitoring solutions must lead the pace of change, not simply adapt to it. The shift to IP and software-driven workflows presents an opportunity to move beyond human-centric oversight and embrace active, intelligent monitoring that empowers operators, engineers, and media organizations to stay ahead of issues rather than react to them.
The transition from SDI to IP workflows and hybrid environments is a work in progress. While 60% of the industry remains reliant on SDI, the future lies in software-native, codec-agnostic solutions that adapt to diverse use cases. Broadcasters must prepare for an environment where flexibility and customization define success.
As viewers consume media across an increasing array of platforms and devices, the demand for real-time, high-quality video experiences continues to grow. Whether for broadcasts supported by IP networks, OTT video services, or IP-based video networks facilitating video distribution across venues, low latency is a vital enabler of engaging viewing experiences.
Although TAG is known for its exceptional ultra-low latency multiviewer adaptable to every media workflow, multiviewing is only one small component of the TAG Realtime Media platform – a comprehensive toolset that manages and elevates media performance across operations at any scale, setting TAG in a class of its own.
The broadcast and streaming industry is under constant technology changes, presenting challenges in managing a growing range of media formats and transport protocols. These complexities require precise and efficient monitoring systems to detect issues in real-time without overburdening operators with unnecessary alarms.
Efficiency is crucial in the rapidly changing Media and Entertainment industry, especially with the shift to streaming and Over-The-Top (OTT) platforms. Advanced monitoring systems play a critical role in ensuring content quality remains impeccable.
In today’s fast-paced broadcast and media landscape, the term “technological debt” has become increasingly relevant. As companies strive to keep up with the relentless pace of change, many find themselves weighed down by legacy systems that were once cutting-edge but now hinder innovation and growth. This technological debt not only stifles progress but also poses significant risks to operational efficiency and business success.
