Every protocol your show rides on is one network and one clock underneath — and when it drifts, it drifts quietly. We listen to the quiet part, around the clock, so the first sign of trouble is our phone call, not your dropout.
Live replica of a Network Watch console. The failures are scripted. The vigilance is not.
ST 2022-7 redundancy is designed so the room never hears a failed path — which means the room never knows about a failed path. Shows run for weeks on one leg without anyone noticing, until the second leg has its bad night. We probe both legs independently, every few seconds, and treat a silent failover as the emergency it actually is.
↑ Watch leg B for a moment. The audio never flinched. That's the problem.
Interface errors and discards — the leading indicator of Dante dropouts, usually visible hours before anything is audible. Link flaps, uplink saturation, optical receive power fading connector by connector.
Grandmaster identity, clock class, holdover, offset. Dante speaks PTPv1; 2110 and AES67 speak v2. We parse both off the wire and alarm when the two clock domains stop agreeing — a failure almost nothing else can see.
Every device that announces itself is inventoried; every device that stops announcing pages us. The stage box that quietly leaves the network at 2 a.m. is found before the operator sits down.
2022-7 leg health probed independently. NDI source population tracked by discovery. NMOS registries queried where present. Video transport treated as what it is: the same network, higher stakes.
Universe presence on the wire. When a console stops sourcing a universe — or a new source starts fighting for one — it shows up here before it shows up on stage.
PoE budget headroom before the next device browns out an antenna. Switch temperatures trending against room HVAC reality. Topology changes — because somebody plugging something in is usually the whole incident.
We inventory every switch, verify management access, map the PTP hierarchy, and prove both 2022-7 legs independently. You get the document either way — the audit stands on its own.
A hardened probe lands on site with its own out-of-band path. The system runs silent for two to three weeks while thresholds are tuned to your room's real behavior — the first alert you ever receive will be a real one.
Around-the-clock monitoring with a human escalation path that understands show networks, because we work on them. Monthly reporting in plain language. Your gear, your network, our eyes.
Every engagement begins with the onboarding audit — a standalone deliverable that maps your network's actual state, redundancy truth included. Inquire about an audit.
