IBC 2025: The Market Mandate- Delivering More Content, Better Quality, for Less Cost

The IBC 2025 discussions confirmed a market under immense pressure: media companies must deliver more content, with better quality, for less operational cost. This environment signals the Third Generation of IP Workflows, moving past experimentation to strategic execution. As TAG Video Systems’ Kevin Joyce noted, the focus is now on pure-play cost reduction and critical quality differentiation. Our response is the Realtime Media Platform, featuring the QC Station for integrated deep analysis, Content Matching for absolute certainty, and the Group Lens for faster root cause analysis, proving monitoring is now the essential strategy for modern workflow efficiency.

Keeping REMI Reliable: Why Stream Health Defines Remote Production

At the SVG Transport Panel in New York, TAG Video Systems joined industry leaders from ESPN, Net Insight, and Tata Communications to explore how monitoring and visibility define the future of remote production. The discussion highlighted that as REMI workflows scale globally, confidence in every stream depends not just on connectivity – but on real-time insight, synchronization, and robust signal health monitoring.

How Media Exchange Layer (MXL) Could Reshape Software-Based Broadcast Workflows

Explore how the Media Exchange Layer (MXL), developed under the Linux Foundation and EBU’s DMF framework, enables real-time, in-memory media exchange across software-based broadcast workflows. Learn how TAG Video Systems is helping broadcasters achieve flexibility, lower latency, and vendor-neutral interoperability in next-generation IP production environments.

Future-Proofing Broadcast Operations Monitoring

The broadcast industry is navigating significant technical challenges as IP-based workflows become standard, requiring effective monitoring to maintain quality while managing complex systems and protocols. Media companies face practical challenges integrating streaming and OTT platforms alongside traditional infrastructure while viewers – with more choices than ever before – demand consistent, superior experiences.

TAG Monitoring Layers: Key Parameters at Workflow Points

TAG’s monitoring platform gives engineers the precise visibility to maintain seamless operations. From content integrity to transport layer stability, SCTE compliance, and realtime visualization, TAG offers comprehensive monitoring at every workflow stage, ensuring efficient and uninterrupted performance.

The Top 5 Challenges in MCRs & NOCs—And How to Stay Ahead

Monitoring solutions must lead the pace of change, not simply adapt to it. The shift to IP and software-driven workflows presents an opportunity to move beyond human-centric oversight and embrace active, intelligent monitoring that empowers operators, engineers, and media organizations to stay ahead of issues rather than react to them.

From Hardware to Hybrid: The Broadcast Industry’s Journey to IP Workflows

The transition from SDI to IP workflows and hybrid environments is a work in progress. While 60% of the industry remains reliant on SDI, the future lies in software-native, codec-agnostic solutions that adapt to diverse use cases. Broadcasters must prepare for an environment where flexibility and customization define success.

Monitoring is just the beginning

Although TAG is known for its exceptional ultra-low latency multiviewer adaptable to every media workflow, multiviewing is only one small component of the TAG Realtime Media platform – a comprehensive toolset that manages and elevates media performance across operations at any scale, setting TAG in a class of its own.
