Symmetricom Announces Key Enhancements to Q-Advisor Digital Video Monitoring and Management Software
October 28 2009 - 8:00AM
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 Q-Advisor, its Network Operations Center (NOC)
management software for its V-Factor® Quality of Experience (QoE)
monitoring platform. New advanced reporting capabilities enable
video monitoring operators to prioritize specific troubleshooting
actions and manage high impact outages, saving time, money and
ensuring quality of service. Q-Advisor will be featured at SCTE
Cable-Tec Expo, October 28-30, 2009, booth #15034 in Denver,
Colorado.
Located in the NOC, Q-Advisor receives measurements from probes
located at various points of the video distribution chain, from the
headend down to the customer premise, providing an unparalleled,
end-to-end view of the network. New reporting capabilities include
a per-channel, time-based view of quality levels as well as a
top-10 video service impairments report. These features help
prioritize troubleshooting actions, saving time in addressing and
resolving video quality impairments. Additionally, enhanced
graphical elements enable technicians to rapidly identify trends
and patterns in reported IP distribution issues.
“Competition is raging among video service providers,” commented
Kevin Hsu, vice president of product marketing at Symmetricom.
“Q-Advisor provides a critical tool to ensure better video quality
at the source where it can be controlled, while at the same time,
reducing the monitoring equipment footprint and power usage.”
The company also announced an enhanced, high-density platform
for the Q-1200 Headend Analyzer, extending scalability for video
content monitoring and enabling operators to save valuable rack
space and power consumption. An automated, efficient solution for
monitoring video content in the headend, the Q-1200 examines the
quality and integrity of source video and detects transcoding and
encoding impairments. The Q-1200 now monitors more than double the
number of channels (8HD/32SD – MPEG-2) in the same rack mounted
footprint (2U) with equivalent power consumption.
Symmetricom offers one of the most comprehensive, unprecedented
end-to-end monitoring solutions in the industry with headend
analyzers, network probes and advanced video management and
reporting software. For more information, visit:

The updated Q-Advisor and enhanced, high-density platform for
the Q-1200 will be available in November.
