Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling quality of content is provided. A confidence tool of an automated quality control system may receive a request to analyze a tag indicating content to be presented by a content presentation service. The tag may be indicative of a link to the content and a tracking pixel associated with the content. The confidence tool may determine whether the tag meets criteria (e.g., pixel whitelisting criteria, specification of a content presentation service). The confidence tool may notify a user whether the tag meets the criteria to prevent problematic content from being presented by the content presentation service.

Abstract: A data stream, such as a video stream, may comprise one or more event trigger messages indicating an upcoming event in the stream. The time (e.g., pre-roll time) between the event trigger message and its corresponding event may be modified, based on rules, to provide a network operator, service provider or downstream recipient more (or less) time to prepare for the event. This may be accomplished by moving the event trigger to an earlier (or later) location in the stream, and/or editing the event trigger to indicate the different pre-roll time.
