Highlighting the Expedus DVA IP with an honorable mention, Diamonds judges liked the fact that while the monitoring probe addresses several areas of digital video monitoring needed by the cable industry, it also is scalable and modular and thus allows an operator to select only the functions needed.
Specifically, the Expedus DVA IP monitors both content and transport quality by verifying the content being processed and by verifying that original quality is maintained throughout the distribution system. QoE parameters like perceptual quality and audio/visual impairments ensure content quality at the processing node. Monitoring QoS and stream integrity in real time identifies degradation trends and allows operators to address them proactively.Features include simultaneous QoE and QoS monitoring for 250 programs, thumbnail captures for every I-Frame, thumbnails for embedded and inserted commercials, and quality trending analysis for critical video sites.www.ineoquest.comSee them at Cable-Tec Expo, Booth 358Return to the BTR Diamond Technology Reviews Elite.
