Moving Live Video Quality Control from the Broadcast Facility to the Living Room
summary
Concrete claim: quality control moves from on-site monitor walls to engineers' laptops by sending low‑latency proxy streams produced in two weeks. Implementation details include using xCoder run on spare data‑center servers, parsing source PID/resolution metadata with FFprobe to auto‑generate configs, stripping packaging/CDN, an H.264 low‑lookahead profile, and a custom player that receives the encoder's TCP stream. Project is called Remote TOC and remains in production eight months later.
