Telestream is renaming its live ABR monitoring service as Telestream Cloud Stream Monitoring, and adding new contribution feed monitoring and ad tracking to the system’s existing edge feed monitoring features.
With the addition of contribution feed monitoring, media companies and
service providers can now benefit from end-to-end correlated monitoring at
every point in the streaming delivery chain, said Ken Haren, Director of
Product Management, Telestream.
“By enabling support for popular contribution feed protocols such as SRT
and Zixi, we can now provide our customers end-to-end visibility in the cloud,
enabling real-time correlated analysis and video delivery metrics from cloud
contribution through to CDN edge.”
Telestream Cloud Stream Monitor delivers previously unavailable insights
into the health and performance of video services that are leveraging public
cloud resources to route, transform and deliver video.
The solution enables near instant spin-up of essential monitoring
infrastructure in almost any public cloud region, delivering real-time stream
monitoring in over 70 global regions. With a single mouse click, it is now
possible to provide end-to-end actionable intelligence, measure the health of
mezzanine cloud contribution feeds, and identify impairments impacting audience
engagement at the CDN edge.
The previous generation of the service was focused on monitoring the
second half of the video pipeline – measuring ABR assets at the CDN edge. With
Telestream Cloud Stream Monitor, the service adds monitoring of transport
streams delivered into cloud processing centres via secure transport protocols
like Zixi and SRT.
Stream Monitor provides real-time measurement of critical metrics, immediately
identifying network delivery challenges, encoding quality issues and audience
impacting impairments.
