Solutions for broadcasters and network operators

 

As a broadcaster or a network operator, you must guarantee the transport of contents, all along the broadcasting chain.

You must also optimize the quality of the contents you process. Therefore, you must choose the best equipment (like video encoders) and optimize their parameters (like bitrate).

We have the solutions to help you.

First solution: Video Quality Monitor (VQM)

Video Quality Monitor (VQM) measures and monitors perceived video quality from a live source (coming from a capture device or from IP streaming), without reference. It makes VQM a very flexible tool to monitor QoE (Quality of Experience). VQM can trigger alerts using email and SNMP if problems are found. During monitoring, all measured data are saved and can be retrieved later, under the form of curves and statistics between two user-chosen dates.

Video Quality Monitor (VQM) can also measure perceived video quality from a file, without reference. Therefore VQM is also a very convenient tool to qualify videos before transmission or videos which have been captured.

Video Quality Monitor (VQM) also measures and monitors audio loudness according to recommendations ITU BS.1770-2 and EBU R 128. This will enable you to check that the contents you broadcast meet industry standards.

Second solution: Video Quality Analyzer (VQA)

Video Quality Analyzer (VQA) measures perceived video quality very precisely, with reference. VQA's video quality analysis reports, which contain statistics, curves and characteristic images, are particularly useful to benchmark and compare video encoders in order to select the best one and to optimize their parameters, like bitrate.

Third solution: Multi Audio Video Monitor

MPEG Monitor monitors the perceived video quality of several IP streams in real time and on a single machine. Multi Audio Video Monitor also measures distortions like blockiness and blur.

During monitoring, all measured data are saved and can be retrieved later, under the form of curves and statistics between two user-chosen dates and times. When a video quality problem is detected, audio video samples are saved (from several seconds before the problem, until several seconds after the problem) and alerts can be sent by email and SNMP.

Fourth solution: : Audio Video Sync & Quality Monitor (AVSQM)

Audio Video Sync Monitor (AVSQM) measures and monitors both QoE and QoS.

Audio Video Sync Monitor (AVSQM) measures and monitors the synchronization between audio and video at one or several locations. Thanks to our proprietary technologies for audio and video fingerprinting, AVSQM is very precise and non-intrusive. During monitoring, all measured data are saved and can be retrived as curves and statistics between two user-defined dates.

Audio Video Sync Monitor (AVSQM) also measures and monitors video quality and audio quality..

Audio Video Sync Monitor (AVSQM) measures and monitors the Quality of Service (QoS) concerning transmissions (packets loss, packets delay, jitter, etc.) and concerning machine health (CPU usage, RAM usage, etc.).

Fifth solution: IP QoS Monitor

IP QoS Monitor enables to measure and monitor QoS (Quality of Service) in real time on networks ranging to small networks to large networks.

IP QoS Monitor enables to:

  • Monitor IP communications in both small and large networks
  • Display real time user-defined maps of the monitored networks
  • Access measured data of all probes using centralized server
  • Get curves and statistics in real time
  • Receive alerts when problems happen
  • Browse all measured data between two user-chosen dates and times

Sixth solution: Adaptive Streaming Monitor

- Visually, how does your 1080p streaming compare to your 720p streaming?
- Are all the video segments of your 4K streaming available?
- Do they all have a standards-compliant bitstream?

Adaptive Streaming Monitor is a complete solution to monitor HLS streams by measuring availability, access times, download bitrates, video quality, audio quality and TR101 290 errors.

Adaptive Streaming Monitor checks all the video segments of all the encoding profiles of your HLS manifests.

Adaptive Streaming Monitor generates measurement reports and can send you alerts when problems are detected.
