Broadcasters and media service providers need to monitor quality throughout their video distribution workflows. During my interview with Ken Rubin, Senior Vice President of Actus Digital, he explained to me that OTA, OTT, and Streaming TV broadcasters, have difficulties ensuring quality is maintained from media sources through key handoff points, and distribution systems including several streaming renditions across many devices as well as safeguarding against violating regulations or service agreements. To solve this challenge, Actus created the OTT StreamWatch monitoring platform that alerts operators of content quality issues and enables them to analyze distribution performance.
