TAG Video Systems has announced performance updates for its software-based monitoring and multiviewing platform, achieving sub-two-frame latency for ST 2110 streams and 800 Gbps aggregate bandwidth support. These enhancements, which aim to replace dedicated hardware in live production environments, will be demonstrated at IBC2026.
Achieving sub-two-frame latency removes the primary technical barrier preventing software-based monitoring from fully replacing dedicated hardware appliances in live sports environments. By hitting 800 Gbps of aggregate scale on a single instance, TAG Video Systems allows broadcasters to manage high-density uncompressed traffic without the physical footprint of traditional hardware trucks. This shift signals a broader industry move toward virtualized production stacks where software performance finally matches the rigors of ST 2110 standards. Watch for how competitors respond to these latency benchmarks during the live interoperability tests at IBC2026.
TAG Video Systems has been building momentum toward software-defined monitoring for several years, positioning its MCM platform as a direct replacement for dedicated hardware multiviewers and probes. At IBC2025, TAG demonstrated its MCM platform integrated with AWS cloud infrastructure for remote production workflows, signaling the company's push toward hybrid and cloud-native deployments alongside on-premises ST 2110 environments. The company has also expanded its partnership ecosystem, with Qvest integrating TAG's monitoring and probing tools into its managed media services offering to provide end-to-end visibility across IP video chains for broadcasters and content distributors.
