Maintaining uninterrupted content delivery is a critical to ensuring the provider’s audience enjoys a seamless viewing experience.
This simple functionality becomes more complicated in the IP domain where meaningful health measurement takes work, and simple switching doesn’t do the job. Additionally, needing to deploy on the ground, in the cloud, or in a ground/cloud hybrid precludes the use of a hardware-based device.
TAG’s Automatic Change Over (ACO) switch empowers broadcasters by providing an immediate, real-time response to signal disruptions. It actively monitors the health of both primary and secondary signal paths, guaranteeing the highest quality content delivery by instantly transitioning to a backup source at the first sign of trouble. This not only preserves the integrity of the broadcast but also eliminates the potential for significant viewer disruption. The ACO’s capability to execute clean switches, depending on the signal type and equipment used, further underscores its role in ensuring that the transition between sources remains virtually imperceptible to the audience, thereby upholding the broadcaster’s reputation for reliability and quality in every scenario.
TAG and Techex have partnered to offer complementary best-of-breed capabilities that provide a solid foundation for efficient, secure and reliable next generation media distribution. Techex tx Edge is an IP video gateway designed to provide transport protection and monitoring for critical broadcast services. It supports various protocols, including SRT, RIST, and ZIXI, ensuring reliable and secure transmission of video content over IP networks.
Techex tx Darwin focuses on media processing and delivery, offering scalability, flexibility, and security for software-defined, hybrid, and cloud workflows. It allows broadcasters to manage and process media content efficiently. With tx Darwin, media companies can streamline their operations, making it easier to deliver content across various platforms.
In an IP-based media workflow, Techex’s tx edge ensures the secure and reliable transmission of video content, while tx darwin handles the processing and delivery aspects. TAG Video Systems’ platform complements these by providing real-time monitoring and analytics, allowing for immediate detection and resolution of any issues that may arise during transmission or processing. Together, these solutions create a robust and efficient IP workflow, enhancing the overall quality and reliability of media delivery.
Together TAG and Techex offer an advanced solution for redundant source protection unlike any other.
