TAG Video Systems has entered into a strategic partnership with Witbe which will see its Content Matching technology paired with Witbe’s Virtual NOC with automated video monitoring to cover the entire video delivery path.
According to the partners, integrating TAG’s network real-time data analysis with Witbe’s real-time video quality analysis and active monitoring enables service providers to monitor and visualise their entire content delivery workflow from source to the actual viewers’ devices.
The partnership will also enable users to measure and compare latency across different platforms, from the source to the end user stream, examining video delay between traditional broadcast and OTT streaming devices.
Users will be able to access critical information such as initial buffering time, video quality, macro blocking, and app performance on real devices with Witbe’s technology, while also benefiting from TAG’s suite of additional measurements and inspections, providing continuous, in-depth monitoring and the ability to have visibility and verify viewer potential issues, said the companies.
Additionally, the pairing of the companies’ technology will mean service providers can ensure the right content is being streamed across the delivery path, or verify content switching to detect any expected or unexpected changes during delivery.
“This partnership marks another milestone in TAG’s mission to deliver multi-app monitoring at scale through our Realtime Media Platform,” commented Ziv Mor, chief growth officer at TAG. “With Witbe’s unique user-device perspective, we’re closing the loop on end-to-end visibility. Our customers now have critical insight all the way to the viewer’s device, allowing them to track virtually every quality aspect, including latency, across the entire network, from source to screen, and proactively address the ongoing demand for a better and seamless viewer experience.”
