TAG Video Systems completed an integration with AWS Elemental MediaConnect Router that supports real-time monitoring and QC for dynamic live broadcast video workflows in the cloud.
AWS Elemental MediaConnect Router, a new service made generally available in November 2025, was developed for broadcast applications that need dynamic live video routing between sources and destinations within the AWS network. Broadcasters can switch between primary and backup feeds, while routing regional variants and managing multiple feeds simultaneously, without reconfiguring infrastructure each time routing needs to be changed.
For engineering teams, that flexibility is transformative. However, more dynamic routing brings more complexity into the monitoring system, and requires precise visualisation of all contribution feeds.
Immediate Visibility
At NAB 2026, AWS showed how to achieve this by integrating TAG’s software platform directly into a demo of MediaConnect Router, delivering real-time monitoring of all contribution feeds as they move through the routing layer. Engineers can see vector scope analysis and TR 101 error reporting for every inbound stream. When a route is changed, the change is immediately visible in TAG's monitoring view, without delays or uncertainty.
"Cloud routing gives broadcast teams enormous flexibility," said Golan Simani, Director of Cloud, TAG Video Systems. "But TAG makes sure that flexibility never comes at the cost of visibility. Whatever is moving through your MediaConnect Router workflow, you can see it in real time, at the signal level."
Built for Cloud Production
At NAB, TAG also demonstrated unified monitoring across a full primary linear distribution workflow. This workflow spanned encoding, packaging and transport stream delivery alongside AWS Elemental MediaLive, and partners including Aurora Networks and Zixi Zen Master.
Because modern broadcast infrastructure is a set of services that teams stitch together, trust in the components is a major factor. The TAG and AWS integration at NAB demonstrates how such a system works in practice – one consistent monitoring layer across the entire chain, from contribution feed to final output, giving engineering teams the necessary visibility to catch problems before they reach a viewer. tagvs.com
