Diversified Names TAG Default Monitoring Partner for Multi-Vendor Deployments

Diversified's default-vendor designation gives TAG an embedded position in one of the industry's largest systems integration pipelines, where multi-vendor deployments are the norm. For broadcasters, this means TAG monitoring becomes a pre-tested component rather than a bolt-on, reducing interoperability risk at the deployment stage. The move reinforces a broader pattern: TAG has been steadily expanding its partner ecosystem across 2026, adding integrations with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure in April, AWS Elemental MediaConnect Router at NAB, Witbe in June, and Uplynk as a strategic technology partner earlier in June. Watch whether Diversified's endorsement pulls additional systems integrators toward standardizing on TAG, or whether competitors respond with their own integrator partnerships.

TAG Video Systems has been on an aggressive partnership run through 2026. In April, TAG announced a collaboration with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to certify OCI as a deployment platform for its full monitoring suite, with a focus on reducing egress costs for high-bandwidth monitoring workloads (per TV Technology, April 2026). At the same NAB Show, TAG debuted a real-time monitoring integration with AWS Elemental MediaConnect Router, giving broadcasters signal-level visibility into dynamic cloud routing workflows (per TAG Video Systems, April 17, 2026). In June, TAG named Witbe as an integration partner for end-to-end broadcast monitoring from source to screen, combining network-level monitoring with device-edge testing (per TAG Video Systems, June 9, 2026). Days later, Uplynk named TAG a strategic technology partner, embedding real-time monitoring into its StreamOps managed operations platform (per BusinessWire, June 11, 2026).

Diversified, for its part, has been deepening its role in large-scale broadcast infrastructure. In April 2026, the company announced a strategic collaboration with Comcast Technology Solutions to expand CTS's global Broadcast Operations Center at its Dry Creek, Colorado facility, integrating SMPTE ST 2110-based IP infrastructure and advanced monitoring technologies into a unified operations environment (per Diversified, April 15, 2026). Jason Kornweiss, the Diversified executive quoted in the TAG announcement, has been a central figure in that expansion. Speaking at the 2026 NAB Show, Kornweiss framed Diversified's approach as advisory-led: defining workflow requirements and operational outcomes before selecting technology, a model the company calls "Phase 0" (per TM Broadcast International, February 2026).

The Diversified-TAG partnership sits at the intersection of two industry trends: the consolidation of monitoring tools into fewer platforms, and the integrator-led push toward pre-tested, multi-vendor architectures. As Diversified continues to expand its playout and distribution portfolio — including its embedded on-site presence at CTS's Dry Creek facility — TAG's monitoring stack now has a direct path into those deployments.
