Quality Control & Monitoring in OTT Workflows

In the OTT world, viewers are watching content when they want, where they want and on the device they want. Content needs to be streamed as per user requirements, on demand and as per the resolution of the playing device. Broadcasters need to ready their content for this mode of playback - they don't control the delivery, consumer does. OTT technology is evolving, and the requirements for monitoring are also changing. Monitoring tools need to be architecturally versatile in order to accommodate this environment and allow broadcasters to figure out which issues are the most critical. Ultimately, broadcasters should choose an OTT monitoring solution for Live and VOD assets that works in tandem with a file-based Quality Control (QC) tool. By deploying a complete QC and monitoring solution for ingest to delivery, broadcasters can deliver the best Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) to viewers in the OTT world.
