Get full control over your business with Agama Video Observability platform
In recent years, broadcasters have faced a set of challenges of increasing complexity in head-end operations. Additionally, broadcasters have to deal with the growing amount and variety of content and the changing rules and standards for delivering premium user experience.
- More complex encoding workflows targeting multiple platforms and formats.
- Maintaining and improving viewer experience through changes in technology.
- Increasing operational efficiency in all activities through discovery, analysis, resolution and follow-up.
Every head-end is unique, and each processing step has its own observability requirements
Ingest
- Detect errors in incoming content early, down to the content level
- Enforce SLAs with content providers
- Unified understanding of services received as SPTS, MPTS and SDI streams
Mezzanine encoding and transcoding
- Detect errors introduced by active processing
- Unified view of bitrate ladders
- Verify syntactical both correctness and conformance to expected stream properties
Post muxing, encryption and handoff for broadcast streams
- Monitor clock references, timestamps, and service information repetition rates
- Detect errors at the network and TS layer before handoff
- Ensure and log compliance with outgoing SLAs and expectations for stream configuration, service lineup, encryption status and ad insertion signalling
Post packaging, encryption and origin of adaptive bitrate streams
- Ensure correct conversion from continuous transport streams to TS or MP4 based segments including ISO BMFF and CMAF
- Monitor readiness to deliver correct playlists and segments for all bitrate variants
