DigiCAP Introduces AIOps for ATSC 3.0
ATSC 3.0 operations are growing more complex. As station groups scale across markets with cloud-native, containerized infrastructure, the traditional dashboard — a screen full of status lights and metrics — simply cannot keep up. Operators are left hunting for problems in a sea of data, and by the time an issue surfaces on a conventional interface, it may already be affecting viewers.
At DigiCAP, we believe the next generation of broadcast operations requires more than a cleaner UI. It requires intelligence.
For the past year, we have been developing what we call AIOps for ATSC 3.0 — an AI-driven operations layer built on generative AI, LLM integration, and Model Context Protocol (MCP). The concept is a fundamental rethinking of how operators interact with broadcast systems. A traditional dashboard gives you a bird’s-eye view of what is running. That is necessary, but no longer sufficient. Our system goes further: when something is wrong, it doesn’t just surface the alert — it diagnoses the issue and advises the operator on how to resolve it. When something is about to go wrong, it identifies the risk before it becomes a failure.
At NAB 2026, we will be announcing new automation capabilities that bring this vision to station group management at scale. We look forward to showing you what the next generation of broadcast operations looks like.
We will hold a press event to share the full story at NAB 2026
2 PM on Sunday April 19 in the NAB press briefing room
