Telestream, a specialist in media workflow technologies, has announced the release of ARGUS v2.3, which introduces Live Look, a new feature that enables operators to visually and audibly inspect live and on-demand streams directly within the ARGUS monitoring environment. Designed for rapid validation of service health and quality, Live Look brings real-time video playback and audio confirmation to the ARGUS consolidated dashboard, allowing operators to see and hear exactly what viewers experience and take decisive action to resolve the issue without switching between tools or interfaces

ARGUS, Telestream iQ’s powerful centralized video monitoring solution for video distribution networks, provides users with a comprehensive end-to-end view of media health diagnostics through high-level dashboards and deep-dive analytics. With ARGUS Live Look, media operations teams can quickly isolate issues, reduce time to recovery, and improve confidence across the entire delivery workflow.

“ARGUS centralises correlated channel observability across the entire delivery chain and at scale,” said Ken Haren, Director of Product Management at Telestream. “ARGUS helps operations teams focus on what matters by surfacing precise, timely, and actionable insights. With the launch of ARGUS v2.3 and the new Live Look capability, teams can now view any monitored stream in real-time directly in the ARGUS dashboard, enhancing  diagnostic confidence and speeding up escalation decisions.”

Bringing Eyes and Ears to Automated Monitoring

Until now, most monitoring systems required operators to pivot between dashboards and third-party tools for signal validation. With Live Look, ARGUS advances this workflow into a single, streamlined experience. Users can instantly verify impairment alarms, assess their actual impact, escalate with greater confidence, and reduce mean time to repair (MTTR) while improving operational efficiency.

Live Look directly addresses a long-standing need for visual confirmation at scale, especially valuable for organisations managing hundreds of linear or OTT channels across distributed operations. From verifying audio presence to confirming editorial intent when silence or anomalies are detected, Live Look provides immediate “eyes on glass” insight without leaving the ARGUS environment. This, combined with Telestream’s “monitoring by exception” approach, allows operators to remain focused on addressing true deviations rather than watching every feed, which often leads to cognitive overload and operational fatigue.

Enhanced Operational Efficiency with ARGUS v2.3

Beyond Live Look, ARGUS v2.3 delivers several significant updates that streamline management, improve security, and optimize monitoring performance:

• Enhanced SSO-Enabled User Management: Simplifies authentication with integrated support for third-party SSO/MFA, reducing administrative overhead and ensuring consistent access policies across deployments.

• Automated Lineup Import/Export: Speeds configuration updates and alarm template management via API and UI automation, ideal for complex or multi-site operations.

• Improved Audio PID Monitoring: Enables fine-grained control over alert generation for individual audio PIDs and introduces logical grouping by codec, language, or role (primary/secondary) for smarter, more efficient monitoring.

Together, these features reinforce ARGUS as the most scalable, consolidated platform for multi-point, multi-format observability, helping operators focus on actionable insight rather than manual data correlation.

Confidence and Context, the Exact Moment it’s Needed

As live and OTT workflows grow in complexity, operations teams need fast, reliable tools to pinpoint faults across distributed architectures. ARGUS aggregates data from across the monitoring chain, providing service-aware visibility that shows not only that an anomaly or deviation has occurred, but where, when, and how issues were introduced, accelerating diagnosis and resolution.

ARGUS v2.3’s new Live Look feature bridges the gap between automated analytics and real-world validation, offering the immediacy of a traditional multiviewer with the intelligence and scalability of modern software-based observability.
