MPEG Monitor

MPEG Monitor is a unique solution to monitor the perceived quality (also called QoE: Quality of Experience) of several MPEG-2 or MPEG-4/AVC (H.264) programs in real time and on a single machine.

MPEG Monitor is the state-of-the-art software solution to monitor MPEG-2 and MPEG-4/AVC broadcasting. MPEG Monitor catches information from the decoder and injects it in a Human Vision model which outputs quality scores. These scores are then used to trigger alerts (SNMP, email). All measures are saved so that they can be consulted later or remotely.

So, unlike classical QoS (Quality of Service) metrics which measure packet loss rate but don't know the impact of a lost packet on visual quality, MPEG Monitor DOES decode and therefore KNOWS the impact of a lost packet on QoE.

MPEG Monitor enables to:

  • Monitor video quality and bitrate in real time
  • Monitor audio quality and bitrate in real time
  • Trigger alarms (SNMP traps, emails) when quality is lower than a user-defined threshold for a user-defined duration
  • Save audio video samples when problems occur
  • Compute quality statistics over a user-defined period of time

Therefore, MPEG Monitor is the best solution for:

  • TV head ends monitoring
  • IPTV monitoring
  • Remote monitoring
  • QoE measurement before and after equipment replacement or firmware update
  • Subjective monitoring
