OTT delivery of multi-channel TV to end customers is gaining popularity and is being deployed by traditional MSOs in very significant numbers. Satellite, Cable and Telco operators are using OTT delivery to supplement and even replace their traditional delivery methods.

The relatively easy implementation and deployment (using existing CDN solutions), coupled with the ability to provide full feature bi-directional services, are fueling the rapid growth of the OTT market segment, which requires support for the most common delivery formats of HLS and MPEG-DASH. They also each have unique characteristics which call for monitoring, detecting and alarming, in addition to the standard MPEG-TS monitoring used in the content creation workflow.

The TAG Functionality in OTT

The TAG Functionality in OTT

The TAG platform supports all formats of OTT including HLS and MPEG-DASH, providing a complete monitoring and multiviewing solution. It combines the traditional MPEG-TS support with the unique monitoring requirements of OTT (including the ability to decrypt and decode the content in the secure zone), and the full feature set of the platform to provide a comprehensive OTT monitoring and multiviewing solution. Unique features like TAG’s adaptive monitoring enable true monitoring at scale across the entire OTT platform.

OTT QoS Monitoring
with Zer0 Compromise

To maintain high quality of experience for their customers, operators need a way to monitor hundreds—sometimes thousands—of channels without compromising real-time error detection. In most cases, the immense scale of their service offerings makes continual visual monitoring of all streams impossible. Fortunately, as operational workflows across the media industry have evolved to look more like true IP or IT workflows, it has become evident that the presence of errors across the delivery chain can be determined with sophisticated software solutions that minimize the need for human intervention.
