From playout to the edge, the Analyzer OTT product family actively monitors and analyzes adaptive bitrate services at packager, origin and CDN edge caches. The Analyzer OTT EDGE actively downloads and analyzes playlists and segments and is ideal for assuring readiness to deliver throughout the CDN. The Analyzer OTT H-E does all that plus codec and content level analysis.

Analyzer OTT Edge is designed for monitoring and analysis of adaptive bitrate services at packetizers, origin and edge cache servers. Its in-depth analysis covers the availability of services, manifest correctness and segment availability.

With support for all leading formats, such as MPEG-DASH (supporting DASH264 profiles), HLS 7, MS Smooth Streaming as well as HDS, the Analyzer OTT Edge provides in-depth analysis, proactive alarming and visualization and troubleshooting tools. Examples of other supported features are: Connection, DNS and HTTP metrics for Manifests and segments, TR290 validation for HLS.

Efficient Actus ratings graphing and analysis tools provide a clear graphical view of ratings alongside the video broadcast on each channel that earned those ratings.

This is a great tool for News to work with graphics and talent and improve performance, as well as for sales to prepare Advertiser Sales Pitches perhaps researching demographic performance as it applies to them. The easy to read graphs are based on data received from rating and audience measurement companies such as Nielsen, Comscore, Kantar, IBOPE, TNS, AGB, BARC, GFKGallup and/or any others data source that relate to performance per channel over time.

The result is better program planning, ad placement, program scheduling and performance. This helps improve your ratings which can significantly increase revenues.

The core of the Agama solution is the central Enterprise Platform. The Enterprise Platform provides real-time aggregation, alarming, and storage of data retrieved through an ingest layer. The ingest layer can handle data reported by our Analyzers products in the head-end and network, by our clients in STBs and OTT players, and from adaptation interfaces for ingesting data from third-party sources. The Enterprise Platform also features an application platform, which provides core applications with interfaces for system management, technical operations, and reporting. The application platform is modular and can be extended with additional applications.

For high capacity exporting and reporting as well as other data mining use cases, the Enterprise Platform’s real-time core can be complemented by an architecturally isolated data platform, thus separating time-critical operations from data mining use cases.

For integrations with northbound NMS solutions, inventory systems and data warehouse applications, the Enterprise Platform provides an integration framework with SNMP alarms, provisioning APIs, and optional high-capacity file export.

Agama’s Client Device Monitoring solution provides detailed high-resolution real-time information on technical service quality, viewer behavior, and device health. Data is automatically collected from the viewers STB, other customer-premises equipment and/or player apps.

A key component of our solution is a lightweight software client integrated in the device or player software. The client sends compact, binary data about events and

continuously monitored metrics to the solutions central ingest infrastructure at frequent, configurable intervals. The information includes quality-related events such as packet loss and unavailability. State reporting makes it possible to see if the viewer has been watching multicast services or playing adaptive bitrate on-demand content, for example. Detected events are mapped to the relevant channel/asset and service type.

The client also supports reporting of device parameters such as CPU, memory and hard disk usage.

The integration (or adaptation of existing integration) of the client is performed by the STB or player application vendor with support and Quality Assurance performed by Agama to verify the integration. The client is deployed remotely via standard software update mechanisms.

The solution provides information on precisely the services that each viewer has watched. Opt-out settings and support for anonymization enable compliance with privacy legislation including GDPR.

For companies that create or manage a large volume of digital media CatDV helps teams organize, communicate and collaborate effectively. Its simple, yet powerful tools support some of the world’s most sophisticated media workflows and provide the flexibility to work your way. 

CatDV is a media asset management system that consists of a suite of products, providing a scalable, cross-platform, media asset database that can handle a very wide range of file types.

CatDV creates a catalog of all kinds of media assets, not just video (although enhanced support for video content is included) but also still images, audio files, PDFs, etc. You can log metadata against your media making is searchable using key words, not just clip titles. It also provides analysis and transcoding of media files with advanced logging tools, sequence editing and integration with non-linear editing applications.

Unlike many Media Asset Management products CatDV can start small and grow seamlessly. With its scalable and modular architecture the CatDV product family has an offering that’s right for every user. Many of our customers with tens or hundreds of networked CatDV users started with small systems that grew alongside budgets and new requirements.

With nearly a decade of developing AI and computer vision tools for the world’s number one interactive video platform at WIREWAX, and with another two decades of experience in the video and broadcast space, the team identified ways to leverage the platform’s award-winning image processing technologies in the big media sector too.

Lightning fast; face and object recognition, segmentation, fingerprinting, speech recognition and many other unparalleled tools available in the suite has changed the game for the broadcast and media industry.

Being able to scan entire archives of video assets and create a powerful, digital understanding of videos, programmes and movies with this core technology has enabled large TV and movie studios to leverage data and digital tools and services like never before.

We’ve not met a media business on the planet that doesn’t have a digitised asset problem. Lack of metadata, no understanding of content, zero monetisation capabilities and gigantic and disorganized archives. Not to mention expensive asset management, overpriced syndication and VOD preparation, and notoriously slow and extortionate manual services.

A recent study on Media Industry revealed that out of all the content spread around different servers & clouds, 25% to 30% are duplicates.

• A variety of content operations are responsible for generating multiple duplicates, which add to storage costs and slow down migration to content. These duplicates are almost similar variants of the same content, which makes their identification difficult.


• Furthermore, while fast migration to the cloud is necessary to streamline content management, cloud storage is expensive.  

Hence, an end-to-end smart Video Intelligence solution is a must-have to manage content well and save on unnecessary expenses.

Quantiphi’s Video Deduplication Solution enables Media Enterprises to autodetect, delete, and restore similar content, thus saving on cloud expenses and automating content operations.

Digital Nirvana’s MetadataIQ is known for accelerating the speed of content creation while simplifying and automating the metadata generation process. MetadatorIQ is a secure, scalable platform to automate the process of metadata generation for production, pre-production, and live content residing in AVID. It aids in a secure and efficient generation of metadata Avid based assets. The 100% automatic generation and ingestion of relevant metadata along with locators into AVID helps editors to accurately identify relevant content, thereby saving time and effort.
