Actus Digital Unveils Actus X At NAB 2025

Actus Digital, a leader in compliance logging and quality assurance monitoring with AI-driven Media Insight, is proud to announce the unveiling of Actus X at NAB 2025. Celebrating its 20th anniversary, this tenth-generation of their Intelligent Monitoring Platform features advances in each of their six standalone products with additional synergy between them.

Actus X represents a major leap forward in the Actus MV multiviewer, significant advances in the company’s compliance logging and quality assurance tools, and exciting new capabilities for AI content analysis within Actus AI Media Insight.

Actus Digital has poured extensive R&D into Actus X, to enhance efficiency, reliability, and intelligence for modern broadcast operations. Three key enhancements include:

Next-Generation QA Compliance Logging - Actus X has enhancements and improvements including better access and control over alerts and threshold settings via its browser-based GUI. Alerts can now be categorized into Problems, Errors, Quality of Experience (QoE), and Quality of Service (QoS) issues, with dynamically adjusting notification workflows for more precise control and improved Quality Assurance.

Advanced Multiviewer Capabilities - The Actus MV multiviewer received major upgrades including reduced latency, expanded data-overlay options such as SCTE trigger details, Nielsen SID data, and TS analysis. These enhancements complement its capable list of existing features, such as round-robin channel-cycling and penalty-box reporting.

The primary differentiator for Actus MV over traditional multiviewers is that it is engineered to support unlimited mosaic-layouts and unlimited multiviewer-heads for unlimited simultaneous local and remote users, with straightforward interactivity that delivers a highly intuitive user-experience.

AI-Powered Media Insight - Actus X also delivers powerful content monitoring capabilities that expand the capabilities of the system to news teams and government agencies. It can rapidly extract valuable insights from programming aired on local/international news as well as direct-camera feeds.

This enables users to identify, summarize, and highlight breaking news, developing stories, and Government users can monitor for potential security threats and political agendas.
