What Actus Digital does

Actus Digital, founded in 2005 and headquartered in the Boston/Woburn area, develops the Actus X Intelligent Monitoring Platform — a tenth-generation, unified software system for broadcast compliance logging, quality assurance monitoring, multiviewer operations, OTT stream monitoring, and content repurposing. The platform is modular, with a foundational QA Compliance Logger and add-on products (OTT StreamWatch, RVM, Actus MV, Alert Center, Clip Factory Pro, AdWatch, Actus AI Media Insight, Rating Analyzer) sharing a common database and UI. Deployment is flexible across on-premises, virtual machine, cloud, and hybrid configurations, and the platform supports broadcast standards including ATSC 3.0, SMPTE ST 2110, SRT, HLS, and other adaptive bitrate OTT formats. AI capabilities include speech-to-text transcription, translation, facial recognition, logo/brand detection, OCR, automatic ad detection, and NLP-driven topic summarization.

The company primarily sells to enterprise broadcasters, TV networks, media regulators, government/intelligence agencies, political monitoring organizations, media agencies, and MVPDs across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. GTM is enterprise field sales through regional offices in the US, Belgium, the UAE, and India, augmented by channel partners (notably Video Systems in Brazil) and system integrators. Revenue comes from subscription licensing of the platform, professional services for implementation and integration, and a newer usage-based Monitoring-as-a-Service offering introduced at IBC 2025. Named customers include Comcast, Disney, CNBC, Fox Sports, The Weather Channel, Singtel, BSkyB, TELEVISA, MediaCorp, and the India Electronic Media Monitoring Centre — the latter being described as the world's largest broadcast monitoring installation at 1,500 channels and 500 users across 300 workstations.

Since May 2025, Actus Digital has operated as a LiveU company (sister brand) following LiveU's acquisition of its business and technology. The company has 11–50 disclosed employees, draws on a global support network of 80+ partners, and continues to ship major product releases annually, including Actus X (NAB 2025) and further enhancements at NAB 2026, alongside consecutive NAB Best of Show awards in 2024 and 2025.
