StreamProbe is a full software solution for Video QoS & QoE 24/7 monitoring throughout the video delivery chain from the Studio, to the Head-End Contribution down to the Encoding & Packaging.
High density & scalable, hundreds of services can be monitored in parallel within a single appliance in a all-in-one or distributed architecture, with a centralized monitoring view – one single GUI.
StreamProbe offers a user friendly web GUI with a Live Thumbnail Mosaic view – at-a-glance overall view of the entire Service Quality for real-time supervision – and service dedicated technical views for drill down root cause analysis.
The monitoring information can be exported to generate Service Availability statistics and fault history reports. Real-time notifications can be sent out to 3rd party NMS systems or by email.
