Special live event monitoring
Monitor when the world is watching.
How it works in 3 steps
Real-time multi-device monitoring
Live broadcasts are streamed across countless devices: Smart TVs, set-top boxes, mobile, and OTT apps. Witbe can monitor all of them, simultaneously.
- Monitor live video quality, availability, and latency from a single dashboard.
- The REC mosaic provides a real-time, side-by-side view of every stream.
- Scale up to 156 devices on 4K monitors for full event coverage.
- Detect black screens, freezes, or playback drops instantly.
Why it matters: you see what your viewers see, in real time, from any location.
Instant alerts for video quality and latency
When millions are watching, seconds count. Witbe’s frame-accurate analysis detects even micro interruptions.
- Receive instant alerts for video quality drops, latency spikes, and content mismatches.
- Identify buffering, black screens, or audio sync issues as they happen.
- Integrate alerts into your existing workflows via Slack, email, or API.
- React before your audience notices, and avoid social media backlash.
Result: uninterrupted live viewing, fewer customer complaints, and stronger SLAs.
