Actus - Next generation broadcast compliance monitoring
Regulatory broadcast compliance for on and off-air logging requirements are constantly evolving for TV, Internet streams and
radio broadcasting. New regulations and next-generation technologies are adopted as industry standards. A broadcast
compliance system must go beyond its basic use cases and guarantee positive ROI, monetization, and workflow efficiency.
Join the hundreds of media companies, including BSkyB, Disney, and Sony, who trust Actus Digital’s broadcast
compliance and logging solution for their on/off air recording and OTT compliance and media monitoring needs.
Beyond Broadcast compliance
Our broadcast compliance software goes beyond recording, logging and media monitoring to meet the variety of demands
throughout the broadcast enterprise, providing additional workflow tools for analyzing QoE (quality of experience) , increasing
content monetization, repurposing content to social media and the web, and advanced AI for driving workflow efficiency and
automation.
Actus View broadcast compliance logging software records a limitless number of channels from any broadcast or internet
source such as DVB, ATSC 3.0, ASI, SDI, TSoIP, SMPTE 2022-6, SMPTE 2110, HLS, MPEG-DASH, RTMP, and others (audio, video, and
metadata). All video formats are supported (i.e., MPEG-2, MPEG-4, etc), as well as input resolutions (i.e., SD, HD, UHD). Actus
View saves the recorded video in any (configurable) bitrate and resolution needed from low bitrate up to full HD. Additionally,
Actus View can save the recorded TS (Transport Stream) as native for the analysis of the original source. The content can be
recorded in one or multiple locations and monitored from a central location.
Transport Stream Monitoring
Actus offers Actus View as a scalable, reliable, and cost effective solution for recording and archiving of linear broadcasts.
Advanced content extraction and monitoring tools simplify and improve workflows, allowing users to share content with
others - offering great return on investment.

multiple subtitles. Users can seamlessly export and stream MPEG TS or low-resolution proxies with the relevant audio
and/or subtitles.
