The TAG Operator Console is a powerful, operator-focused control panel application that simplifies the management of the TAG multiviewer system in control room and NOC environments. This transformational Console simplifies operational complexity into streamlined, efficient workflows, driving both operator effectiveness and business success.
The Best of Show awards recognize the very best media and broadcast technology products and solutions on display at IBC 2024, with hundreds of products and solutions considered.

TAG’s Operator Console meets the criteria by providing users with an intuitive touch panel console allowing operators to switch between pre-defined layouts effortlessly, control the displayed source, channel, or stream on each mosaic tile, edit UMDs and manage alarm visualization—all with a simple tap. The Console provides a live, interactive view of the multiviewer output on any touch-controlled device, offering maximum flexibility, and allowing operators the freedom to roam as needed. Optimized for operational efficiency, the console removes unnecessary complexity, concentrating only on the essential functionality needed for the daily routine. This intuitive design reduces time spent navigating through menus, allowing operators to adapt quickly to unexpected challenges and focus on the core tasks necessary for maintaining smooth broadcasts. The console’s flexibility extends to audio management, enabling sources to be verified easily, and ensuring every aspect of the broadcast is under control.
