NAB 2025: TAG Video Systems to preview QC Station for enhanced video quality control 

TAG Video Systems is set to unveil its advanced capabilities for end-to-end monitoring and visualisation, with a special preview of the QC Station – an addition to the QC Elements toolset that ensures video quality at scale. Visitors will see how the Realtime Media Platform simplifies complex workflows while guaranteeing high video quality across all workflows.

QC Station is designed to enhance video quality control across live production and distribution environments. QC Station integrates QC Elements, a set of tools for real time, deep analysis of video streams. This enables engineers to monitor video quality in real time, validate content integrity, and ensure compliance with industry standards.

The tool offers scope-like functionality for precise monitoring of luminance, chrominance, colour volume, and HDR content. These advanced capabilities, available directly within TAG’s Media Control System (MCS), enable broadcasters to streamline troubleshooting, resolve quality issues faster, and ensure consistent video quality across their operations.

“Our presence at the NAB Show allows us to demonstrate not just our technology but our commitment to the industry by offering the most sophisticated monitoring and visualisation tools on the market today. The addition of QC Station is no exception. It includes the high-end functionality that TAG is known for, giving engineers even more precision and control over video quality”, said Michael Demb, VP product strategy at TAG.

In addition, TAG will be highlighting its Advanced User Management functionality enhanced with Access Groups and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to streamline and secure user access management. Implementing this role-based permissions feature ensures that only authorised personnel have access to sensitive systems and tools, leading to elevated security, increased operational efficiency and reduced human error.

Access Groups simplifies user access management by grouping MCS features, settings, and resources, enabling administrators to tailor permissions based on specific responsibilities. This feature is essential for large-scale operations, ensuring compliance and audit readiness while improving access control and system security.

TAG’s Realtime Media Platform will be also demonstrated. With support for cloud, hybrid, and on-premises workflows, the platform provides comprehensive monitoring and visualisation across all major media formats and standards, enabling broadcasters to achieve seamless operations and monitor content integrity throughout every stage, whether in live production, playout, OTT, or traditional delivery.
