WATERLOO – Video quality evaluation company SSIMWAVE announced this week the availability for cable system operators of SSIMPLUS single-ended HDMI-Out monitoring.
This enables, “for the first time, precise, objective evaluation and scoring of video quality at the closest point yet to subscribers’ devices,” says the company press release.
“Designed in response to requests from Tier 2 and 3 North American operators, the new product place-shifts end point analysis to the farthest reaches of the network, simplifying field monitoring by providing objective measurement of the video quality subscribers see. The new product utilizes probes armed with the SSIMPLUS single-ended AI algorithm to measure quality at the HDMI outputs of legacy and IPTV set-top boxes located in hubs, nodes or even test homes of cable, fiber and 4G/5G wireless networks.”
