Telestream OTT monitoring service goes live

Telestream has announced the availability of OptiQ Monitor, a cloud-based monitoring-as-a-service.

OptiQ Monitor enables the real-time deployment of live ABR quality monitoring at scale in over 70 global geographic regions and is designed to give broad visibility into the health and performance of live OTT channels delivered through CDN partners.

OptiQ Monitor is for content owners, broadcasters, event operators, and sports leagues that have already put in place the infrastructure required to support their live streaming channels but have no monitoring infrastructure, especially post-CDN.

Kenneth Haren, OptiQ product manager at Telestream said: “We introduced OptiQ Monitor service to the international broadcast industry during the 2019 IBC Show in Amsterdam and it generated strong interest from show attendees. We’re thrilled to say it’s now available.

“OptiQ Monitor is a cloud service that radically changes the approach for on-demand monitoring & analytics, delivering real-time performance and quality insights of OTT channel quality. For the first time, customers can spin up a multi-cloud hosted service in an automated and orchestrated fashion.”

Telestream Cloud customers can use OptiQ Monitor to manage provisioning, configuration and data collection of its monitoring products.

OptiQ Monitor enables users to integrate a superior level of video monitoring without needing to modify anything in their existing delivery chain, the company said.
