StreamProbe VOD enables Availability QoS & Content Quality QoE check for all VOD based services: xVOD, Catch-up/Replay, PVR (personal video recorder), ABR assets for DAI…
Adapted for both static and dynamic VOD Libraries, several monitoring modes are proposed with manual or automatic asset provisioning capabilities.
StreamProbe VOD offers the possibility to schedule all ABR assets quality check via configurable monitoring Campaigns.
High level statistics are provided for an evaluation of the library’s quality, with possibility to drill down to each asset’s analysis details and pin-point the faulty sequnces.
The monitoring information can be exported to generate library quality reports. Real-time notifications can be sent out to 3rd party NMS systems or by email.
