“We see Actus Digital’s products as extremely valuable, both as standalone solutions and, as many customers have already requested, as extensions to the LiveU EcoSystem. LiveU is renowned for reliability and quality, right across the production spectrum. Actus Digital brings peerless Quality of Experience monitoring and AI-enhanced effectiveness. Together, this gives us the unique ability to provide our customers with end-to-end surety across all of their content types,” he said.
