TAG Content Matching technology
Simplify, automate and optimize your quality assurance
Monitoring just got smarter.
Reduce complexity, eyes-on-glass and deliver high quality content with fewer resources: TAG Content Matching is able to compare video and audio at any two points in the workflow regardless of its resolution, bitrate and framerate, and measure everything in between.
-
Measure absolute latency at every point in the workflow in real time
-
Audio validation and lip-sync
-
Feed Comparison- Verify large number of sources
-
Quick root-cause analysis
-
Validate Ad Insertion
- Synchronize all latent feeds across CDNs
- Monitor all points in Playout & Distribution
- Validate playout servers are frame-aligned
- Ensure delivery at every monitoring point
- Non-deterministic latency, especially rising levels, often indicate pending issues (e.g., CDN load-balancing failures)
Operators can only ‘listen’ to one program at a time and audio meters only provide that a signal is present and nothing about quality, sound or source. Now you can:
- Verify the correct source at each point and eliminate need for test signals in paths for channel mapping validation
- Detect lip sync issues anywhere in the signal path
- Synchronize all latent feeds across CDNs
- Monitor all points in Playout & Distribution
- Validate playout servers are frame-aligned
- Ensure delivery at every monitoring point
- Non-deterministic latency, especially rising levels, often indicate pending issues (e.g., CDN load-balancing failures)
- Visualize root cause in penalty box on TAG multiviewers, log errors
- Supercharge TAG ‘monitoring by exception’ by assigning a single mosaic tile on monitor wall to represent downstream distribution monitoring points; introducing concepts of paths to penalty boxes [penalty paths], reducing tiles and decreasing complexity of operations and costs
- Identify when ad insertion fails; without the need for operators to monitor screens
- SCTE marker match and mismatch with frame-accuracy signal comparison
- TAG real-time monitoring and probing uncovers SCTE 35/104 faults that disrupt ad insertion
- Monitor all signal formats including contribution signals prior to origin server to validate SCTE marker sources
- Verify that correct ads are inserted, or utilization of your ad placement opportunity
