Video Quality Analysis Software
|
 
Tektronix VQS1000 Shown |
|
|
- Can be used with all Tektronix DTV monitoring probe
configurations using robust private backhauled video from
the monitoring probes
- Multiple instances can be run per license to enable
service comparison at different network locations (dependent
on PC processing power and video content type)
- Triggered capture with pre-trigger buffer enables
archive of impairments or offline video quality analysis to
be performed
- QoE results are reflected in monitoring probe’s Remote
User Interface and event log
- Results available to management systems through
monitoring probes SNMP MIB
- Automated round-robin polling sequentially checks
services within an MPTS
- Can be used in
conjunction with the probes polling capability to
sequentially test different Transport Streams carried
on up to 500 IP flows (IPM400A) or up to 200 RF
channel presets (MTM400A)
- Application can be also be used stand-alone for offline
file analysis with support for MPTS, SPTS, and ES files

Features & Benefits
- Reliable and sophisticated analysis algorithms
applied to decoded MPEG-2 or H.264 video to identify stuck,
black, macro-blocking, and compression artifacts. This enables
operators to distinguish between impairments resulting from
network distribution versus artifacts resulting from compression
- Industry-first unique visualization tool with innovative
impairment displays highlights the location and severity of video
defects, enabling engineers to clearly see and validate the
presence of impairments on the image
- Triggered-capture of streams and logging of live data
enable offline analysis of service quality issues
- Logging of live data to capture min, max, and average impairment
values and bit rates at user-definable time intervals enables
long-term quality of experience for a service to be assessed
and optimized
- Full integration with Tektronix IP Video and DTV Monitoring
probes so that QoE errors appear in the monitoring probe log interleaved
with the TS and physical layer (IP and RF) QoS errors enables users
to easily distinguish between errors that are caused by network issues
(dropped packets, CC errors, etc.) and errors which do not have a
corresponding network issue and are therefore caused by an
upstream encoder problem

QoE Monitoring in the Video Delivery Chain |
|
Applications
- Affordable QoE Monitoring – Alarms with configurable impairment
magnitude, duration, and frequency thresholds can be generated to
alert users to content that will impact customers’ viewing experience
- Network Performance Optimization – QoE and bit rate monitoring and
logging enable in-service tuning of networks to deliver the best
viewing experience possible within bandwidth constraints to viewers
- Remote In-service Diagnostics of Broadcast Delivery Issues –
Combined with physical transport alarms from the Tektronix IPM400A or
any MTM400A Series probe, operators can determine if the source of a
problem is in the content (for example, over-compression) or in
network distribution layers
