Network Operations Centers (NOCs) rely on constant visual monitoring to ensure service quality. But as streaming services, channels, and workflows multiply, NOC screen space has become a limiting factor.

Video walls are already saturated. Adding new streams often leads to costly questions:

Should we add more screens? Reconfigure the room? Expand the NOC?

These challenges are not caused by a lack of monitoring tools. They stem from how visibility is delivered.

Why NOC screen space is a growing operational constraint

Physical displays do not scale with service growth

Traditional video monitoring ties visibility to physical displays inside the NOC. Every new stream competes for limited screen real estate, even when that visibility is only needed by specific teams or during specific workflows, such as post-production or QA validation.

As a result:

• NOC screens become overcrowded
• Operational flexibility is reduced
• Infrastructure costs increase

This model does not scale efficiently.

Screen saturation creates infrastructure pressure

As NOC walls fill up, teams are forced to consider adding displays, reconfiguring control rooms, or expanding NOC space. These decisions are driven by physical constraints rather than operational needs.

What is a virtual NOC?

A virtual NOC allows operators to access real video streams without relying on physical NOC displays.

With Witbe’s Remote Eye Controller (REC), video monitoring is browser-based. Any authorized user can view real video streams directly from a standard web browser, on any laptop.

This means video visibility is no longer constrained by the NOC wall.

How browser-based monitoring frees up NOC screens

Because REC runs in a web browser:

• Selected streams can be moved off the NOC video wall
• Operators can monitor video from any laptop
• NOC screens are reserved for the most critical live services

The video remains real, observable, and actionable, only the display location changes.

Operational benefits of a virtual NOC architecture

By decoupling video monitoring from physical screens, teams gain immediate operational advantages:

• Freed-up NOC screen space for priority services
• No loss of visual assurance, since monitoring remains video-based
• Avoided infrastructure expansion, such as adding displays or enlarging the NOC
• Greater flexibility for post-production, QA, and distributed teams

Virtual NOC enables monitoring capacity to scale without scaling physical infrastructure.

Visibility that scales with services, not walls

Virtual NOC is not about reducing visibility. It is about redistributing it intelligently.

By making real video monitoring browser-based, Witbe allows teams to adapt visibility to operational needs rather than physical constraints. This approach supports growth, flexibility, and cost control, without compromising monitoring quality.
