QC Station

QC Station brings real-time video metrics and deep QC tools into the multiviewer, lowering complexity and operating costs.
What is it?

QC Station adds an extra layer of information to the TAG multiviewer: Real-time key data and deep color analysis with scope-like graphs.

What can I do with it?

With QC Station, you can view the stream in one tile, and right next to it, display real-time data about stream, video, audio, ETR, SCTE, color analysis and more.

What are the benefits?

QC Station unifies tools in your tech stack and cuts complexity for operators and engineers, reducing time-to-repair and protecting revenue.

QC Station extends TAG’s Realtime Media Platform with advanced, scope-like video quality tools directly inside the multiviewer. Operators and engineers can see real-time metrics alongside the live video itself, including ETR, video, audio, SCTE, subtitles, and more. In addition, QC Station offers deep color analysis with vectorscopes, waveforms, luminance and chrominance monitoring, HDR validation, and audio channel checks.

Unlike threshold-based alarms, QC Station provides continuous visibility of metrics, enabling faster troubleshooting and deeper analysis of high-value streams. By consolidating QC into the same environment as monitoring & multiviewing, it removes the need for additional tools, reducing both operational cost and technical complexity.

QC Station helps media companies protect revenue by ensuring content integrity and compliance with industry standards. Engineers gain precision tools for detecting artifacts and misalignments, while operators benefit from immediate visibility in their daily workflows. The result: faster issue resolution, consistent quality at scale, and streamlined operations.
