Datametrie IPTV/Video on demand (VoD)

In 2007, IPTV started its 4th year of existence!
17 million IPTV customers are expected in 2010 across Europe, with almost a third of them in France alone. By 2011, it has been stated that there will be 53 million IPTV customers throughout the world.
This shows that the general public is truly passionate about IPTV, but doubts are very frequently expressed about its quality and reliability. Increased success with the general public will therefore only be possible if quality baselines are introduced in parallel.

ip-label measures the quality of the VoD- Video on Demand and IPTV streams perceived by the end-user:

  • we inform internet consumers about the quality of services offered by ISPs.
  • we help IPTV service providers to optimise their infrastructures in order to provide an optimum quality of service.

A powerful data and graphics reporting engine

Whether you are a Technical Manager, an IPTV Centre Manager or even a Quality Manager, we offer a real-time portal that can be accessed by different user profiles.
This portal is shared if you use the other Datametrie modules: Datametrie Internet/Intranet, VoIP/ToIP and Mobility.

The various reports can be produced in five languages: English, French, Spanish, German or Mandarin.

  • Real-time alerts
  • Daily or weekly status reports
  • Monthly or fortnightly reports
  • Powerful graphics engine
  • Pertinent indicators that are measured regularly: 
    • Availability and accessibility of the channel
    • Frozen image rate (freeze): fleeting and permanent freezes
    • Zapping time
    • Time lags between the broadcast (digital terrestrial television and satellite, etc.) and the channels received by the ADSL channel
    • Quality of the image’s video stream (MOS Video)

 

To measure the image quality, ip-label relies on objective methods for evaluating the video quality recommended by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), J 144-R: objective perceptual video quality measurement techniques for digital cable television in the presence of a full reference).

These methods make it possible to evaluate the quality of the entire broadcasting channel:

  • Quality of video sources
  • Quality of encoding/translation of streams
  • Quality of the transmission network
  • Quality of decoding

 

Video on Demand (VoD) and Interactive TV Services

At the moment, the Video on Demand market via a standard television, IPTV or the web is booming: how can we satisfy the increasing video demands of consumers whilst maintaining an acceptable standard of quality?
Video via IP is also being included in a new approach to collaborative work. More and more multiple site companies are using video-conferencing to make it easier to exchange information between colleagues. Finally, video makes it easier to access work-related information and exchange know-how.

ip-label measures the quality of the VOD- Video on Demand streams perceived by the end-user. We help the ISPs, television channels and users and suppliers of IP video to optimise the quality and availability of the service.
