Claim 0:
1. A method for content aware monitoring of an output of a media system, the method comprising:
accessing a media assertion schedule including one or more assertion checks, each assertion check containing (i) an assertion condition, and (ii) at least one timecode for validating the assertion condition;
receiving at least one observed signature file containing (i) an observed signature comprising a processed version of at least a portion of a media frame output by the media system, and (ii) timestamp data;
identifying at least one assertion check, in the media assertion schedule, having a timecode that aligns with the timestamp data, in the observed signature file;
determining an assertion condition associated with that assertion check;
validating the assertion condition using the observed signature; and
if the assertion condition is validated, generating an indication that the output of the media system, is synchronized with the expected output.
