TAG Showcases Next-Gen IP Workflow Monitoring With Powerful New Tools At IBC 2025
TAG Video Systems returns to IBC 2025 with enriched capabilities that empower media companies to take control of their operations: reducing complexity, accelerating decision-making, and ensuring exceptional video quality at scale, all from its 100% software-based Realtime Media Platform.
Visitors will experience enhanced QC tools including Waveform scopes and HDR test patterns, intuitive layout and tile control with TAG’s Operator Console, and real time integrations with partners like Witbe, Nevion, Techex, and DataMiner, designed to promote simplicity, increase responsiveness, and ensure exceptional video quality at scale.
Drive Efficiency and Clarity—All in One Place
TAG’s stand experience puts customer outcomes front and center. Four interactive demo pods, each controlled by TAG’s intuitive Operator Console, will enable visitors to explore real-world scenarios, including latency and HDR validation, audio issues, and error detection. Teams can switch layouts, interact with sources, and monitor signals in real time, all visualized across large wall monitors for a hands-on experience.
Built-In QC That Goes Deeper
TAG continues to expand the capabilities of its Realtime Media Platform with new features that elevate both its integrated QC Station and Operator Console, enabling engineers and operators to validate signal integrity, troubleshoot more efficiently, and maintain consistent quality across live and on-demand workflows.
At IBC 2025, TAG is unveiling two key enhancements:
- Waveform Scopes in QC Station – Operators can now visualize luminance and chrominance within a live mosaic using familiar scope views such as Waveforms, Histograms, and Vectorscopes. These tools help ensure consistent brightness, color balance, and signal levels across multiple sources, critical for live production and compliance monitoring. This addition deepens the diagnostic power of QC Station while keeping everything embedded in the platform.
- Channel Solo and full video playback in Operator Console – two new functions give operators more hands-on control with the ability to isolate and listen to a single audio channel and play back full video streams for immediate review. These enhancements make the Operator Console even more effective for real-time troubleshooting, validation, and daily workflow confidence.
Together, these advancements give users the flexibility to move seamlessly between proactive system monitoring and focused quality analysis, all within TAG’s unified, software-only environment.
Smarter Workflows Through Seamless Integration
TAG will also demonstrate real-world workflows enabled by its trusted technology partners:
- Witbe – Validate true viewer experience by combining TAG’s monitoring with automated testing from source to screen
- Techex – Leverage IP/cloud transport with TAG’s visualization layer for agile broadcast delivery
- Nevion – Streamline signal transport and orchestration via integrated workflows with Nevion’s VideoIPath
- Skyline DataMiner – Centralize operational insight by feeding TAG metrics into broader service management systems
These integrations illustrate TAG’s commitment to openness and interoperability, enabling smarter decisions and better alignment between operations and business objectives.
Powering the Future of Media Operations
TAG continues to invest in the tools and flexibility media companies need to succeed in a fast-changing environment. With a platform that adapts in real time, supports any format or infrastructure, and delivers actionable data across every screen, TAG gives teams the insight and control to stay ahead.
“Our focus at IBC is to show what happens when monitoring and data come together in real time,” said Kevin Joyce, TAG’s Zero Friction Officer. “We’re not just displaying video—we’re delivering clarity, control, and the agility customers need to stay competitive.”
Backed by its Zero Friction® approach, intuitive toolsets, and deep partner integrations, TAG offers a smarter, unified path forward - regardless of workflow or scale.
