Bridge Media Networks Deploys Actus Quality Monitoring

News Image
Bridge Media Networks, operator of the NEWSnet and Sports News Highlights networks, announces the integration of Actus Digital's advanced monitoring solution to optimize its broadcast operations. With a focus on delivering high-quality content to viewers across multiple platforms, Bridge Media Networks sought a comprehensive system to streamline monitoring and ensure consistent viewer quality.

Bridge Media Networks has a hybrid distribution model for NEWSnet and Sports News Highlights that includes both OTT platforms and a range of broadcast stations nationwide. This requires a centralized approach to monitoring and managing broadcasts. Although other brands were considered, Actus emerged as the clear choice based on its robust features and user-friendly interface.

"We recognized the need for a centralized multiviewer to monitor our extensive distribution network," said Eric Wotila, President of Bridge Media Networks. "Actus provided the perfect solution, offering not only centralized multiviewer monitoring but also automated alerts that allow us to immediately address issues, often times before viewer quality disruption."

Actus Digital's system enables Bridge Media Networks to monitor signals, detect anomalies, and receive real-time alerts that ensure uninterrupted broadcasting at optimal quality. The platform's browser-based access allows for remote connection and improves efficiency by empowering team members to monitor the entire network from any location.

"Our previous manual monitoring process was time-consuming with limited notification of issues. Actus QA Compliance Logger is a significant upgrade, allowing remote access to all stations from one GUI with an impressive depth of monitoring and alerting," said Wotila.

In addition to traditional OTA broadcasting, Bridge Media Networks is committed to expanding its reach through over-the-top (OTT) platforms and appreciates Actus Digital's ability to seamlessly monitor OTT feeds and provide insight into stream quality and download performance.

"It was apparent from the very first demo that Actus was exactly what we were looking for. The comprehensive features and cost-effectiveness made it the clear choice," concluded Wotila. "Actus was very willing to work with us to customize a solution that worked well to meet all of our needs for our NEWSnet and Sports News Highlights networks."

Bridge Media Networks' collaboration with Actus Digital underscores its commitment to innovation and excellence in broadcasting. By leveraging Actus's advanced monitoring solution, Bridge Media Networks aims to enhance their viewer experience and maintain its position as a leading provider of news and sports content.

Actus Digital is exhibiting in Amsterdam at IBC 2024 in booth 7.C21 between September 13-16.
