Business Wire
Symmetricom�, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYMM), a worldwide leader of precise
time, synchronization and video quality management technologies
that optimize next generation networks, today announced key
enhancements to its Quality of Experience (QoE) portfolio with
upgrades to both the V-Factor� Quality of Experience (QoE)
monitoring platform and the Q-1000 Source Video Analyzer. Immediate
benefits to broadcasters, operators and equipment vendors include
improved monitoring and troubleshooting of digital video quality
and the ability to better quantify the impact of new technologies,
such as statistical multiplexing and advanced compression.
�By delivering accurate assessments of end user video quality
and pinpointing specific issues in real-time,
the V-Factor platform simplifies management for video operators
and facilitates customer satisfaction, helping to accelerate growth
of IP-based video services,� commented Matthieu Chamik, product
manager, QoE Solutions at Symmetricom. �These recent enhancements
keep the V-Factor platform on the cutting-edge of monitoring, well
ahead of the competition, helping to eliminate service disruptions
that can lead to high technical support costs and customer
churn.�
The V-Factor platform now exhibits extended monitoring
capabilities including RFC 4445 Media Delivery Index (MDI) support,
a streamlined user interface based on a new theme, easier
navigation, detailed reporting and alarm information and an updated
Web Service integration layer. New graphical components support
channel and multiple program transport stream (MPTS) views to
facilitate troubleshooting for program and multiplex related
issues.
In addition to the V-Factor platform upgrade, the Q-1000 Source
Video Analyzer now supports HD-SDI time codes (SMPTE RP188) as well
as input profiles, allowing the user to tweak input parameters to
optimize the MOS calculation for expert applications including
digital archiving and golden eye automation tests. The Q-1000 also
provides target profiles which allow content producers, programmers
and broadcasters to define the target display for their content,
making it ideal for three-screen convergence quality
validation.

The upgraded V-Factor QoE monitoring platform and Q-1000 Source
Video Analyzer are both currently shipping.
