TAG Showcases Next-Gen IP Workflow Monitoring with Powerful New Tools at IBC 2025

noa@tagvs.com — Wed, 23 Jul 2025 12:44:42 +0000

TAG returns to IBC 2025 with enriched capabilities that empower media companies to take control of their operations: reducing complexity, accelerating decision-making, and ensuring exceptional video quality at scale, all from its 100% software-based Realtime Media Platform. Visitors to booth 1.C31 will experience enhanced QC tools including Waveform scopes and HDR test patterns, intuitive layout and tile control with TAG’s Operator Console, and real time integrations with partners like Witbe, Nevion, Techex, and DataMiner, designed to promote simplicity, increase responsiveness, and ensure exceptional video quality at scale.

Drive Efficiency and Clarity—All in One Place

TAG’s booth experience puts customer outcomes front and center. Four interactive demo pods, each controlled by TAG’s intuitive Operator Console, will enable visitors to explore real-world scenarios, including latency and HDR validation, audio issues, and error detection. Teams can switch layouts, interact with sources, and monitor signals in real time, all visualized across large wall monitors for a hands-on experience.

Built-In QC That Goes Deeper

TAG continues to expand the capabilities of its Realtime Media Platform with new features that elevate both its integrated QC Station and Operator Console, enabling engineers and operators to validate signal integrity, troubleshoot more efficiently, and maintain consistent quality across live and on-demand workflows.

At IBC 2025, TAG is unveiling two key enhancements:

Waveform Scopes in QC Station- Operators can now visualize luminance and chrominance within a live mosaic using familiar scope views such as Waveforms, Histograms, and Vectorscopes. These tools help ensure consistent brightness, color balance, and signal levels across multiple sources, critical for live production and compliance monitoring. This addition deepens the diagnostic power of QC Station while keeping everything embedded in the platform.
Channel Solo and full video playback in Operator Console- two new functions give operators more hands-on control with the ability to isolate and listen to a single audio channel and play back full video streams for immediate review. These enhancements make the Operator Console even more effective for real-time troubleshooting, validation, and daily workflow confidence.

Together, these advancements give users the flexibility to move seamlessly between proactive system monitoring and focused quality analysis, all within TAG’s unified, software-only environment.

Smarter Workflows Through Seamless Integration

TAG will also demonstrate real-world workflows enabled by its trusted technology partners:

Witbe- Validate true viewer experience by combining TAG’s monitoring with automated testing from source to screen.
Techex- Leverage IP/cloud transport with TAG’s visualization layer for agile broadcast delivery.
Nevion- Streamline signal transport and orchestration via integrated workflows with Nevion’s VideoIPath.
Skyline DataMiner- Centralize operational insight by feeding TAG metrics into broader service management systems.

These integrations illustrate TAG’s commitment to openness and interoperability, enabling smarter decisions and better alignment between operations and business objectives.

Powering the Future of Media Operations

TAG continues to invest in the tools and flexibility media companies need to succeed in a fast-changing environment. With a platform that adapts in real time, supports any format or infrastructure, and delivers actionable data across every screen, TAG gives teams the insight and control to stay ahead.

“Our focus at IBC is to show what happens when monitoring and data come together in real time,” said Kevin Joyce, TAG’s Zero Friction Officer. “We’re not just displaying video—we’re delivering clarity, control, and the agility customers need to stay competitive.”

Backed by its Zero Friction® approach, intuitive toolsets, and deep partner integrations, TAG offers a smarter, unified path forward – regardless of workflow or scale.

DAZN Builds Future-Ready Live Sports Infrastructure with Techex and TAG for FIFA Club World Cup 2025™

ilana@tagvs.com — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 08:00:00 +0000

DAZN, the world’s leading sports entertainment platform, has transformed its live monitoring capabilities to support its global broadcasting of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, deploying a brand new, scalable, flexible, and centralised infrastructure in partnership with Techex and TAG Video Systems.

The FIFA Club World Cup saw 32 of the most successful clubs from every continent compete in a single tournament spanning 63 matches. DAZN is the exclusive global broadcast partner, having delivered every match live and free to fans worldwide – a historic first for a men’s international club football tournament.

With global rights to the tournament and with growing demand for the group’s other sports content around the world, DAZN required an infrastructure capable of supporting the complexity and pace of some of the world’s most high profile and dynamic sporting events. To meet that demand, working in partnership with Techex, DAZN built a new 2110-based global Master Control Room (MCR) in Leeds, UK.

The system provides centralised control over more than 5,000 unique video sources and 300 mosaic layouts which, once at DAZN’s core data centres, are seamlessly routed to their operational hubs in Leeds, Northern Ireland and Hyderabad, powered by TAG’s Media Control System (MCS) and managed through a redundant central interface – reducing bandwidth usage, eliminating infrastructure duplication, and enabling any source to be routed to any operator or screen without reconfiguration.

“With the number of different feeds and variants required for DAZN’s broadcasting of the FIFA Club World Cup – on top of our usual workload – flexibility and scalability were the priority to ensure our Master Control Room (MCR) was monitoring as effectively as possible. Our partnership with Techex and TAG has enabled DAZN to continue delivering an unparalleled entertainment experience to our users, supported by cutting-edge live sports infrastructure,” said David Christmas, Head of Broadcast Project Engineering at DAZN.

Techex worked in partnership with DAZN’s project and operations teams on the overall system architecture and delivery, focusing on the continued development of DAZN’s orchestrated workflow deployments, utilising technologies such as tx edge to provide protection and monitoring of DAZN’s signals, optimising quality of signal and ensuring delivery.

“We delivered a solution that’s technically sound, operator-friendly, and built for DAZN’s evolving needs. We needed to address the immediate demand to build an infrastructure to cater for a tournament the size and scale of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, whilst also considering DAZN’s future” said Richard Bailey, CPTO at Techex. “It’s a great example of partnership focused on real-world results.”

To further streamline operations, TAG developed a dedicated Operator Console, designed specifically for DAZN’s live transmission and MCR environments. The touch-compatible interface allows operators to interact directly with the mosaic—switching feeds, validating ad markers, adjusting audio, and managing alarms in real time. Its intuitive, role-based design minimises complexity and eliminates the need for engineering intervention for daily tasks.

“This project gives DAZN the agility to deliver live sports coverage at global scale,” said Kevin Joyce, Zero Friction Officer at TAG Video Systems. “Together with Techex, we’ve built a monitoring platform that enables smarter operations, faster response, and lower operational risk.”
