“We are honored that yes, Israel’s premier multi-channel TV broadcast provider, chose TAG to play such an important role in their migration to IP and as they expand their OTT services,” said Adi Itzhaki, VP Sales EMEA, TAG Video Systems. “The project illustrates TAG’s commitment to helping customers open doors to new markets and opportunities by providing the tools they need to streamline their operations, implement the latest technologies, and to deliver optimal service quality across multiple platforms. yes is growing again and we are thrilled to be part of their next chapter as they move forward with our new Content Matching technology which will further reduce complexity and increase confidence in their overall operations.”

Empowering Engineers with QC Elements 

TAG continues to enrich visualization and simplify troubleshooting capabilities with QC Elements (Quality Control Elements). This feature enables a vast array of elements to be arranged on a tile for a comprehensive view of critical technical data, bringing engineers a built-in quality control station within the multiviewer display. Engineers can tailor the information presented on each tile, including details on codecs, frame rates, resolutions, closed captions, audio channels, transport streams, and more. This powerful tool expedites the identification and analysis of technical issues, minimizing downtime and ensuring seamless content delivery. QC Elements represents a continuation of TAG’s expanding capabilities; stay tuned for news of further developments.

How It Works

The core of this technology lies in its ability to automatically pinpoint the language of subtitles within video content. Powered by advanced algorithms, TAG performs a meticulous quality analysis informed by language-specific dictionaries, which in turn provides the data within the multiviewer output in the form of two parameters: identified language, and quality percentage against the identified language’s dictionary. The data can also be aggregated and visualized with data visualization tools to identify trends or centralize large scale operations. This significantly streamlines the caption monitoring process, offering these key benefits:

Frees Up Operator Time: By eliminating manual monitoring of closed captions and subtitles, operators gain valuable time to focus on more strategic and nuanced tasks.

Proactive Problem Solving: Real-time monitoring paired with helpful, informative alerts enables operators to quickly address any potential caption quality problems.
Pinpoint Accuracy: Reliable language identification and quality measurement against a dictionary helps avoid human error and assure accuracy and compliance.
Quality That Meets the Mark: Language-specific analysis ensures captions uphold quality standards and regulations, ultimately enhancing the viewing experience.
Informed Decision-Making: Data visualization tools provide insightful overviews of caption/subtitles quality trends, empowering media operations to make strategic improvements.

“TAG’s Language Detection is a glimpse of the future of quality assurance” says Michael Demb, VP Product Strategy at TAG Video Systems. “Operators no longer need to watch and listen to every channel to deliver quality captions and subtitles. By automating crucial processes, we’re enabling them to focus on higher-level analysis and decision-making, ultimately ensuring a better experience for all viewers.”
