StreamGuys is set to introduce a new, more advanced version of its IsMyStreamUp service at the upcoming NAB Show 2025. The updated version boasts a modernized interface, enhanced alerting systems, and an adaptable architecture designed to meet future challenges.
IsMyStreamUp, first launched in 2016, is a cloud-based service that monitors the status of live internet streams, media player assets, on-demand files, websites, and live production workflows across any content delivery network. The service is critical for broadcasters to prevent dead air, thus protecting advertising revenue and brand reputation.
Eduardo Martinez, Vice President of Technology at StreamGuys, emphasized the evolution of the service. "We developed IsMyStreamUp to offer reliable silence detection and performance monitoring for all at a time when broadcasters were aggressively building out their online and mobile strategies," Martinez stated. "Nearly ten years later, it's more important than ever as broadcast networks and content producers continue to expand their online presence with more streams, including side channels, rebroadcasts, and podcasts."
The second-generation release, dubbed IMSU 2.0, has been completely redeveloped from scratch with a focus on efficiency and user-friendliness. "We have modernized both the interface and backend to make it more powerful, modular, and intuitive," Martinez added. He highlighted improvements such as smarter notifications and enhanced filtering capabilities within the user interface, which allow users to prioritize urgent alerts, ensuring quicker response times.
IMSU 2.0 also introduces a containerized backend, which significantly increases the service's adaptability for future expansions. This includes support for new streaming protocols, enhancing audio monitoring capabilities and potentially expanding into video streaming monitoring.
StreamGuys will preview IMSU 2.0 at the ENCO booth (W1743) in the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center from April 6-9, 2025, with an official launch expected by the end of April.
