TAG and swXtch.io, the leading provider of cloud-based multicast networking, announced that they are collaborating to provide advanced cloud-based media monitoring for broadcasters and content creators.

By integrating swXtch.io’s unique cloud capabilities, TAG’s software-based multiviewer can monitor any IP stream, including 2110 and JPEG XS, with on-premises-level performance. This brings high-accuracy stream monitoring to workflows, simultaneously reducing costs and lowering latency while delivering real-time insights into stream health and quality.

TAG will be presenting its latest advancements in real time video monitoring, probing, and visualization at Broadcast Asia 2025 in Booth 5D1-1 (Magna). TAG’s Realtime Media Platform will be the centerpiece of the showcase, offering broadcasters a powerful, software-based solution to streamline complex workflows and guarantee exceptional video quality at scale across live production, playout, OTT, and delivery environments

TAG, the leader in software-based IP end-to-end workflow monitoring, deep probing, and real time visualization, has named Paul Maroni as Vice President of Sales, APAC. Paul brings over 30 years of experience in broadcast operations, sales, and partner development. He will focus on supporting TAG customers across Asia-Pacific with solutions that enhance visibility, efficiency, and control throughout media workflows.

Paul’s career spans hands-on technical roles and strategic commercial leadership. He began as an engineering trainee at Channel 7 in Sydney, advanced to leading Live Production Marketing at Sony APAC, and held key sales roles at EVS. Notably, while at Magna, he helped deliver one of TAG’s largest regional projects—supporting Foxtel with a scalable, software-based monitoring deployment.
