Workflow quality matters! Issues can occur at any stage of the live streaming pipeline, and many remain invisible with traditional monitoring methods.
This workshop introduces a new, standards-based approach built on the Common Media Server Data (CMSD) framework, designed to simplify monitoring, surface hidden quality insights, and enable automated decision-making across the entire workflow.
✔ Where traditional monitoring falls short: Even though issues can arise at any stage of the live streaming pipeline, many problems still go undetected with conventional methods.
✔ Standards-based monitoring made simple: See how CMSD headers surface critical information usually hidden in the workflow.
✔ Beyond probes: Understand a new, streamlined approach to monitoring that avoids complex hardware deployments.
✔ Automation & quality gains: Discover how standards-based scoring enables automated decisions and more consistent OTT delivery.
✔ Scale more efficiently: With more granular insights available at every stage of the workflow, you can grow your audience without sacrificing quality.
✔ Ecosystem momentum: Learn how early implementations are paving the way for broader CMSD support across vendors.
✔ Smarter visibility, consistent quality, and faster adoption of a standards-based approach.
