Actus' intelligent monitoring platform supports numerous broadcast use cases, including compliance recording, technical and OTT monitoring, and advanced clips creation.
Dubai-based regional television channel Al Aan TV has implemented Actus Digital’s intelligent monitoring platform.
With Actus, Al Aan TV is able to record compliance, monitor content, create advanced clips, and export them, all while increasing viewer engagement and ensuring high quality of service (QoS) for the Arabic channel.
Actus’ compliance and monitoring software is hardware-agnostic, enabling Al Aan TV to deploy the platform on existing, on-premises servers.
Speaking about the implementation, Cesar Eid, Deputy Head of Technical Operations at Al Aan TV, said: “Our legacy broadcast monitoring system had reached its end of life, and we needed to find a replacement that was robust, reliable, and flexible to support our evolving requirements and provide solutions that not only support the requirements of the technical department but also those of other departments such as the digital media and OTT. Actus Digital’s platform provides us with a feature-rich solution that supports countless capabilities beyond compliance and technical monitoring. The Actus platform enables us to rapidly turn around new content and increases our workflow efficiencies while also being intuitive and easy to use. Based on our success, we are looking to expand the solution in the near future as we add more channels and functionalities.”
The Actus platform offers multiviewer functionality that allows Al Aan TV to review a mix of over-the-air and OTT sources on a single large screen. The browser-based multiviewer provides Al Aan TV with a bird’s eye view of QoS issues, speeding up error resolution, while offering remote access with super-low latency and simple layout customisations. Al Aan TV is also using the Actus Clip Factory PRO to quickly repurpose content for online distribution. The Actus platform provides Al Aan TV with advanced editing and exporting options, allowing fast content publishing to boost viewer engagement.
Sima Levy, CEO at Actus Digital, added: “Over the last decade, Al Aan TV has grown and evolved in order to meet viewers’ demands for exceptional-quality news and entertainment content. We’re excited to help Al Aan TV expand with an all-in-one, best-of-breed solution that addresses all of their compliance recording, content monitoring, clips creation requirements, and so much more, in a single platform.”
