StreamProbe 10.5: Bringing VMAF’s Superior Image Quality to 24/7 Broadcast Monitoring

We are committed to ensuring that broadcast operators and service providers deliver the best possible video experience to their audiences. With the latest update to StreamProbe, we integrate VMAF (Video Multimethod Assessment Fusion)—the gold standard for perceptual video quality, developed by Netflix.

Why VMAF?

Traditional quality metrics often fall short in assessing real-world video quality as perceived by the human eye. VMAF, overcomes this challenge by using machine learning and human perception models to provide a consistent and objective quality score, regardless of content type (whether it’s fast-paced action scenes or slow-moving visuals).

24/7 Objective Video Quality Monitoring

With StreamProbe, broadcasters now have access to continuous, real-time perceptual quality monitoring. By embedding VMAF, the StreamProbe enables:

  • 24/7 quality assessment aligned with human perception
  • Support for multiple viewing devices (4K TV, HD TV, smartphones)
  • Bandwidth optimization while maintaining the best viewer experience

Optimized Video Quality for Encoder & Transcoder Updates

Each time an operator updates its encoder or transcoder configuration, fine-tuning quality vs. bandwidth usage is a challenge. With StreamProbe’s VMAF integration, broadcasters can now:

  • Precisely measure quality trade-offs in real-time
  • Ensure the best visual experience while reducing bitrate
  • Optimize infrastructure costs without compromising quality

Reducing Churn, Lowering Costs

For broadcasters and service providers, maintaining high-quality video is essential for customer retention. A poor viewing experience leads to churn, while excessive bandwidth usage increases operational costs. StreamProbe with VMAF ensures the right balance—delivering the best video quality while optimizing network resources.

With this cutting-edge enhancement, StreamProbe brings to TV broadcasters what Netflix has achieved in streaming: the ultimate perceptual video quality, tuned for the human eye.
