About

Actus X is a broadcast monitoring, compliance logging, and intelligent media analysis platform used by broadcasters, regulators, media agencies, and enterprise streaming operations to ensure quality, regulatory adherence, and operational insight across traditional and OTT/IP video streams. Actus X’s core is its Actus X Intelligent Monitoring system, which continuously records, logs, and analyzes broadcast and streaming content from any input format, including SDI, SMPTE 2110, HLS, MPEG-DASH, and more, and tracks compliance with requirements such as closed captions, subtitles, and loudness rules while offering real-time quality alerts and technical monitoring dashboards. Beyond compliance, Actus Digital includes advanced features like browser-based multiviewers for simultaneous channel oversight, automatic ad detection, OTT monitoring, remote video monitoring, real-time alerts, and AI-driven media insight.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Quality conversion from European videos to North American broadcast formats without speeding or slowing the source. Keeps the included closed captions in sync. You can also do the reverse. Change of speed is applied also to the sound (25 to 23,976, 24 to 25fps...), absolutely great. It can also upscale your content, but no AI to improve the picture. It is not the strength of this software. But for regular broadcast works, it keeps the quality of the picture when your source is film content. Also very good results when video sources (interlaced) are used.

Cons

  • It takes some times to find the correct parameters. Render process is quite slow (90 minutes movie may take 4 to 5 hours, depending on your hardware). Created for broadcast users. Pricey.
