This enhancement allows broadcasters to verify, validate, and ensure error-free video and audio content delivery for MPEG-TS and OTT sources. OTT broadcasters now have the ability to monitor Dolby Atmos encoded audio.
“The boom in streaming services has motivated many OTT broadcasters to add Dolby Atmos to their content delivery in order to enhance the listening experience for their clients, but until now they had no way of monitoring the protocol,” said Tomer Schechter, CEO. “When one of the world’s largest media and entertainment companies came to us to request this capability be added to our MCM-9000 Multiviewer, we were happy to do it and can report that it is being successfully used to ensure error-free video and audio content delivery.”
The MCM-9000 monitors the Dolby Atmos stream in parallel with the video and regular audio allowing the broadcaster to ensure all structural aspects are correct and to detect any abnormalities. All channels can be decoded down to baseband audio with the Atmos information displayed on the Multiviewer.
Added Schechter, “TAG always strives to provide the highest level of service by integrating support for all the newest formats, technologies, and hardware into our MCM-9000. If our customers ask for it, we respond quickly to ensure they maintain a competitive edge in a crowded marketplace. We’re delighted to add Dolby Atmos to the list of other formats we recently added support to such as CMAF and Zixi, and we’ll continue to keep ahead of the technology curve as more formats emerge.”

Short background: TAG Video specializes in providing Internet Protocol monitoring solutions and solutions with many viewers. Gal Waldman founded it on December 1, 2008, with its headquarters in Tel Aviv in Israel.
The Company’s flagship MCM-9000 shattered traditional monitoring paradigms and has since been enhanced with OTT support and more recently support for the SMPTE 2022-6/7 and 2110 IP HD and UHD uncompressed video and audio streams at the inputs and outputs, a development that has disrupted the way media is viewed on Multiviewers. The MCM-9000 now features a 2-frame latency.
