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.

Comprehensive post-event analysis in Smartgate

Once the event ends, your team needs to know exactly what worked, and what didn’t.

• Smartgate consolidates all performance metrics, logs, and video traces for easy review.
• Generate visual reports to share with stakeholders or partners.
• Analyze latency trends, regional differences, and ad placement performance.
• Export proof-of-performance for sponsors or third-party validation.

Insight drives improvement: every event becomes a data-driven opportunity to enhance the next.

Video recordings are available when needed for third-party validation or cross-team collaboration, ensuring every stakeholder has clear, visual proof of performance.

Comprehensive live event monitoring from source to screen

Through its active partnership with TAG, Witbe offers a comprehensive end-to-end monitoring solution that captures the true viewer experience across any device or platform.

By combining TAG’s real-time telemetry with Witbe’s real-device playback, you gain unmatched visibility into video quality, availability, and latency: from the headend all the way to the viewer’s screen.

This joint solution enables automated error detection (black screens, freezes, audio issues), faster issue resolution with 24/7 testing workflows, and QoE-focused insights to guarantee flawless performance during high-stakes events like the Super Bowl or the World Cup.

See dedicated article for more info on the Super Bowl use case.

Ad monitoring during live events

Live events are where ad monitoring matters most. Breaks are short, rates are premium, and there is no second airing.

Witbe extends ad monitoring to the full life of a live event:

• Every ad break logged with the ads and brands that aired, with timecodes
• Stay-live ads and virtual ad placements tracked during play: branded frames, on-field graphics, and sponsor overlays you define
• AI analysis tags the feed PRE, LIVE, or POST, so every ad is verified in context
• Closed captions verified throughout: presence, language, sync, accuracy, and overlap
• The same event monitored across devices and locations, revealing regional differences

Full event tracking logs are available as JSON, and the timeline view in Smartgate AI dashboards puts phases, breaks, placements, and incidents on one axis.
