PROBING/ MONITORING
The TAG platform provides a complete probing and monitoring application tool for all transmission layers

Get valuable data across the entire workflow, realtime
Transport, video/audio content and template matching based monitoring
All from packet loss through SCTE, subtitles andfreeze to lip sync and bit rate
Source recording for error events, triggered by any of the event detection rules
PCR timing, Packet Loss, Packet IAT, Missing ABR files, ABR delivery times
Reporting / Logging all SCTE events, Invalid Triggers, Missed triggers, Expired windows
(Audio + Video Essence) Freeze, Black, Loudness Subtitles presence & validity
(Received vs. Expected) Correct resolution, bit rate, pgm ID, correlation

Absolutely! Did you know all our existing clients tried the system before choosing TAG? (Okay, all but one). Apply for your free 90 day trial: https://www.tagvs.com/tag-trial/
Yes! The TAG platform can run on cloud instances. Learn more here: https://www.tagvs.com/tag-on-the-cloud/
We do!
The two main challenges of cloud live production implementations for work-from-home applications are getting the uncompressed sources to the cloud and delivering the Mosaic Output to the home.
The TAG platform JPEG-XS which can be used to deliver high-quality production content to the cloud where bandwidth limitations apply and can also provide the mosaic output as Zixi and/or HLS streams to be delivered to the home over the public Internet.
The TAG platform has an elaborated JSON API which can be used by custom user panels configured to control the system functionalities.
Learn about all the formats and standards TAG supports here
Yes! The TAG open, flexible and rich APIs allow integrations with virtually any system
Absolutely- You can view all monitored streams in the same layout.
