The TAG Monitoring<br />
Solution

PROBING/ MONITORING

The TAG Monitoring Solution

The TAG platform provides a complete probing and monitoring application tool for all transmission layers
The TAG multiviewing tool is fully integrated with probing and monitoring capabilities. It can receive, monitor and visualize all broadcast media formats like the 2110/2022-6 Uncompressed; compressed MPEG-TS; and OTT streams all the way down to the encoded video content and its quality. The solution provides the operator with a simple and strong tool for error detection, alerting and multiviewing. The created output mosaic/head is an HD or UHD video stream, encoded and transmitted as 2110-21 and standard H.264/H.265 SPTS also in Zixi protocol; along with an HLS parallel output – enabling remote multiviewing, mobile devices access and a flexible installation topology.

DECRYPTION

Embedded Decryption

The TAG platform offers a proven and secure method of real time decryption, monitoring and visualization

TAG offers a proven and secure method of real time Decryption, Monitoring and Viewing of DVB Simulcrypt, as well as OTT content after the packager within the secure zone, and after the CDN while interacting with Verimatrix MultiRights key management.

Content providers are taking all means necessary to secure their content. As such, most OTT content is encrypted during the encoding phase, causing a difficult tradeoff by not being able to monitor and view the OTT content to insure the quality of real-time distribution.

Now, Content owners can rest assure that all their content will remain secured during all streaming media methods. Even OTT content, is monitored and analyzed within the TAG’s IP software-only platform.
TAG’s innovative and unique decryption capabilities within the system ensure reliable and flexible monitoring of secure OTT content in real time.

API & INTEGRATIONS

The Open Architecture

TAG’S open architecture is accessible with state of the art APIs for easy integration into NMS, EMS & BCS systems.

The TAG platform is fully accessible by an advanced and fully elaborated JSON API to control all features and configuration of the system.

With full control via API, the sky is the limit. From deep integrations with management systems all the way to customized user panels and unique personalized way to control the platform- you name it.

Example: TAG Integration with Skyline DataMiner
The combination of TAG’s probing, monitoring, and multiviewing software and Skyline’s DataMiner AI-powered network management, orchestration, and OSS platform can give you a more complete view of your system and how to keep it running smoothly as your business and services evolve. This solution will improve quality of experience, optimize your OPEX & CAPEX and enable agile & efficient operations . By providing an open API, TAG’S integration with the Skyline DataMiner allows you to automate service line-up, keep probes and multiviewers always in sync with service and achieve better service uptime.

SMART RECORDING

Record. Analyze. Learn.

The TAG platform automatically records source streams based on user defined rules & thresholds triggered events to ensure the highest level of analysis

How Does Smart Recording Work?

Couldn’t be easier.

Each of the transport streams or OTT information that is set to be recorded is continuously recorded in a cyclic mode, using the First In First Out method (FIFO), meaning that at any given moment the platform holds the last relevant information prior to a potential event.

Once an event with the proper severity is detected and triggered, its source information is saved outside of the FIFO storage and is no longer being recorded over.

The platform then exports the saved recording to an external FTP. Once the transfer of an event has been completed, the saved event storage is released and can be used for the cyclic FIFO recording again.

TAG in the Cloud

Moving to the cloud isn’t a technical decision, it’s a business decision.

TAG delivers monitoring for the cloud, with unrivalled agility, scale and cost optimization, enabling the workflows of tomorrow today.
It’s about creating opportunity, streamlining operations and matching costs to consumption. What media companies have discovered is that legacy “lift & shift” solutions create roadblocks to achieving these objectives. Without being cost-optimized for the cloud, media companies have discovered that these legacy solutions are too expensive to operate, undermining their cloud initiatives. These systems lack the needed features to enable cloud workflows and lack the underlying cloud-native architecture that lets them scale to meet changing business requirements. Successfully migrating to the cloud means being able to leverage all of the cloud’s potential to ride the next wave of opportunity and transform the way media is created and delivered.

Media Control System – MCS

The TAG Solution for Large Scale Operations

MCS enables virtually infinite scale across any deployment scenario and puts big data into your hands, enabling tight integration of your media monitoring with Open Source software, DevOps tools and AI / ML to achieve deep insight and knowledge about the performance of your media business.

With MCS providing a centrally-controlled and managed architecture, all aspects of system operation are in one place for easy user interaction and third-party integration, and robust system resiliency is enabled. The full power of TAGs probing and monitoring are unleashed by the rich feature set of the MCS which brings the system to a new level of capability in functionality and opportunity for rich application customization.
