TAG to exhibit next-gen IP workflow monitoring with new tools at IBC
Four interactive demo pods, each controlled by TAG's intuitive Operator Console, will enable visitors to explore real-world scenarios, including latency and HDR validation, audio issues, and error detection. TAG Video Systems is set to return to IBC 2025 with a display of expanded capabilities designed to help media companies streamline operations, improve decision-making and ensure top-tier video quality at scale, all powered by its 100% software-based Realtime Media Platform. The visitors can explore its latest developments in quality control (QC), user interface enhancements, and real-time integrations with key technology partners. TAG's IBC presence will spotlight new QC tools such as Waveform scopes and HDR test patterns, along with upgrades to its Operator Console, which now offers more intuitive control over screen layouts and tiles. The system also features deep integrations with industry leaders including Witbe, Nevion, Techex and DataMiner, aimed at reducing operational complexity and increasing system responsiveness. Visitors will be able to engage with four interactive demo pods, each managed via the Operator Console, simulating real-world scenarios such as latency issues, HDR validation and audio error detection. These live demonstrations will allow teams to interact directly with signals, adjust layouts, and monitor outputs across large-format displays—offering a hands-on experience of the platform's real-time power. Central to TAG's showcase are two major updates to its Realtime Media Platform: First, the introduction of Waveform Scopes within the QC Station, providing operators with essential visual tools, Waveforms, Histograms and Vectorscopes, for analysing luminance, chrominance and signal levels. These features support precise compliance and production quality checks across multiple sources in a live mosaic format. Second, new capabilities in the Operator Console allow for Channel Solo and full video playback, enabling users to isolate specific audio channels and instantly review entire video streams—critical functions for quick troubleshooting and quality validation during live and on-demand workflows. TAG will also spotlight real-world use cases enabled by its strategic partners. With Witbe, the platform ensures end-to-end viewer experience validation; with Techex, it supports agile, cloud-enabled broadcast delivery; Nevion enables streamlined orchestration through integration with VideoIPath; and DataMiner centralizes service monitoring by incorporating TAG's metrics into broader operational systems. These demonstrations underscore TAG's commitment to open architecture and interoperability, ensuring that its tools not only meet today's needs but also evolve alongside emerging industry requirements. With a fully software-driven platform that adapts in real time, supports all formats and infrastructures, and delivers actionable insights across all screens, TAG continues to empower media companies to stay agile and competitive in a rapidly shifting landscape. 'Our focus at IBC is to show what happens when monitoring and data come together in real time,' said Kevin Joyce, TAG's Zero Friction Officer. 'We're not just displaying video—we're delivering clarity, control, and the agility customers need to stay competitive.'

Blue Lucy unveils AI and analytics to streamline media workflows
At IBC 2025, Blue Lucy unveils multi-LLM integration, launches 'Insights' analytics package and expands the role of its AI assistant Lucia. Blue Lucy, a provider of media management and workflow automation solutions, is set to redefine the role of AI in content operations with major enhancements to its BLAM orchestration platform. The company has introduced a flexible new framework that allows broadcasters, producers and content distributors to integrate multiple Large Language Models (LLMs) directly into their media workflows. Moving beyond the one-size-fits-all approach to AI, the system empowers operators to choose the most suitable models for specific tasks, offering full control over performance, cost and data privacy. At this year's IBC show, Blue Lucy will showcase how BLAM enables the integration and chaining of multiple LLMs within a single workflow. This allows different models to be applied at different stages, such as using a lightweight summariser for low-priority metadata extraction and a more advanced model for processing high-value or rights-sensitive content. BLAM's microservice-based engine dynamically routes tasks to the appropriate model based on the operational context, enhancing both efficiency and output quality. The platform also features Lucia, Blue Lucy's native AI assistant, which works seamlessly alongside external AI models to simplify complex workflows and deliver measurable results. Designed with practical business applications in mind, Lucia complements the flexibility of model selection by assisting in real-time orchestration and automation. Further expanding BLAM's capabilities, Blue Lucy is launching Insights, an analytics module that surfaces operational data from across the media supply chain. Insights gives media teams a detailed view of content usage, workflow performance and system bottlenecks, enabling informed decisions directly from the BLAM interface. The new tool transforms existing operational data into a strategic asset, supporting continuous improvement and optimisation. Julian Wright, CEO of Blue Lucy, said: 'There is an interesting confluence in our industry: On the one hand the very real economic pressures particularly in production and distribution, and on the other a step change in the capability of emergent AI models to deliver genuine business value. AI does provide the opportunity to reduce operational cost and enable new revenue streams for producers and rightsholders, but with so many discrete business needs there simply isn't a one-size-fits-all model.' He confirmed: 'Our approach, as always, is about enabling operators to choose the most appropriate tools for their business application – in this case that means the specific AI models. We have developed a significant and broad range of new BLAM microservices for a gamut of common LLMs as well as a framework which allows operators who have developed their own proprietary models to seamlessly integrate these in BLAM workflows. The new connectors – coupled with the existing microservice capabilities – enable media companies to define workflows that combine sophisticated orchestration rules and AI models to derive measurable business value. 'It's about making AI truly useful in real-world content operations. BLAM gives operators full control and visibility, enabling them to choose the right model for the right job, maintain data sovereignty, and scale AI adoption at their own pace. It's AI on your terms, built into the operational fabric of your business.' With the dual launch of AI orchestration enhancements and the new Insights analytics package, Blue Lucy is positioning BLAM as a powerful engine for operational intelligence, offering granular control over AI deployment and delivering actionable business insights—all tailored to the demands of real-world media operations. Wright added: 'BLAM captures huge amounts of valuable data both from internal processes and from integrated systems. We have been using this data for many years to provide advice to operators on overall workflow optimisation. Now, after an 18-month development project to create a data processing plug-in and a new user interface we are able to provide an unprecedented level of business insight. Insights surfaces operational data across the content supply chain to support management decision making.' Stand 6.C29
