TAG Video Systems Adds Support for NDI 5 and SRT as Part of Ongoing Platform Enhancement

TAG Video Systems has announced plans to showcase an enhanced version of its monitoring and visualization platform at NAB 2021. The leader in realtime, software-based deep monitoring of linear video workflows, TAG will conduct live demonstrations in Booth C2618 that will highlight its recently added support for AWS Cloud Digital Interface (AWS CDI) and Amazon EC2 M6i instance types, developed to better serve media customers running workflows in AWS.

TAG Video Systems, the leader in real-time cloud-based monitoring of linear video workflows, has announced that its MCM-9000 monitoring and multiviewer platform is being used in the ground-breaking 5G-VIRTUOSA project. Funded by the European Union’s (EU) Horizon 2020 initiative and driven by a consortium of international industry leaders, 5G-VIRTUOSA’s mission is to explore the potential of distributed IP production and how future technologies such as 5G and virtualization can provide further capability and flexibility in live production environments. TAG’s MCM-9000 was brought in initially to keep tabs on streams in an on-premises system and was subsequently augmented with a cloud-based multi-location configuration in a later phase of the project. The systems were provided by TAG’s sales and service partner in Germany SHM Broadcast GmbH, which also provided some initial training and support to the project team.
