TAG Video Systems Brings Realtime Monitoring To AWS Elemental MediaConnect Router

TAG Video Systems has announced an integration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elemental MediaConnect Router. The integration brings real-time monitoring and quality control to broadcasters building dynamic live video workflows in the cloud.

A new capability, visible from day one
AWS Elemental MediaConnect Router, which reached general availability in November 2025, lets broadcasters dynamically route live video between sources and destinations within the AWS network: switching between primary and backup feeds, routing regional variants, and managing multiple feeds simultaneously, without reconfiguring infrastructure each time routing needs change.

For engineering teams, that flexibility is powerful. But with more dynamic routing comes more complexity to monitor. That's where TAG comes in.

At NAB, TAG will be integrated directly into the MediaConnect Router demo, providing real-time monitoring of all contribution feeds as they move through the routing layer. Engineers can see vector scope analysis and TR 101 error reporting for every inbound stream. When a route changes, the change is immediately visible in TAG's monitoring view, without lag or guesswork.

Built for how cloud production works
At NAB, TAG will additionally demonstrate unified monitoring across a full primary linear distribution workflow. This workflow will span encoding, packaging, and transport stream delivery alongside AWS Elemental MediaLive and partners including Aurora Networks and Zixi Zen Master. Modern broadcast infrastructure is a set of best-of-breed services that teams stitch together and need to trust completely.

The TAG and AWS integration at NAB demonstrates what that trust looks like in practice: one consistent monitoring layer across the entire chain, from contribution feed to final output, giving engineering teams the visibility they need to catch problems before they reach a viewer.
