Telestream, a provider of file-based media workflow orchestration, media streaming and delivery technologies, will introduce its second OptiQ live service at booth 7.C16 & 7.C14 at IBC 2019.
OptiQ Monitor promises to create major efficiencies in the capital and operational expenditure whilst assuring Quality of Service and Quality of Experience for broadcasters, service providers and network operators worldwide.
OptiQ Monitor targets customers that have already put in place the infrastructure required to support their live streaming channels but have no monitoring infrastructure, especially post-CDN.
OptiQ as a framework of live services is a merging of the entire Telestream skill set around live streaming, workflow, cloud, integrated monitoring, containers and much more.
OptiQ Channel was showcased at NAB with its quick deployment, fully integrated monitoring capabilities. Since Telestream started its development, it has become clear that underlying this channel creation system is an OptiQ framework that enables the creation of multiple different live services to meet different customer needs.
OptiQ Monitor enables users to integrate video monitoring without needing to modify anything in their existing delivery chain. Building on this through OptiQ Channel, Telestream promises to provide all the necessary packaging, encoding, ingest environments to help customers build live channels.
A key feature of the OptiQ framework is the ability to deploy Telestream technology in any public cloud data centre.
Telestream has the ability with OptiQ Monitor to select any cloud data centre, or as many as is required, and to specify the types of monitoring probes that customers want to push into those data centres.
Then, the system architect hits ‘go’ and the entire monitoring network is automatically built up to perform robust QoS and QoE monitoring of a customer’s live streaming channels, even if they are not using OptiQ Channel to create those channels.
OptiQ Monitor allows users to observe how their CDNs are performing across multiple geographies. Also, they can monitor the performance of video encoders across their entire distribution network.
If this performance is sub-optimal Telestream possesses a fast and cost-efficient solution. OptiQ Channel will deliver robust and efficient live streaming channels as a service in a completely cloud-deployed way.
Commenting on the solution, Kenneth Haren, OptiQ Product Manager at Telestream said: “OptiQ Monitor enables successfully delivered channels in highly efficient and cost-effective ways.”
“Without effective monitoring, you don’t have a channel. If you don’t monitor extensively and have granular visibility of the channel across all the geographies that it serves, and the devices and platforms that you seek to leverage then you can’t be confident that you are delivering a high-quality channel. Having good visibility of the health of channel centres on the ability to monitor and analyse video data.”
OptiQ Monitor will be commercially available before IBC. Telestream will showcase both OptiQ Monitor and OptiQ Channel at the show.
