• IPTV, QoS and correlation with perceptual “human vision system” based video QoE end-to-end monitoring requirements from a content metrics / integrity point of view.
• Ensuring quality for video content via deeper transport stream analysis to include meeting timing and buffer models, correct signaling of and linkage amongst program elements and synchronization between video and audio.
• A unique look at monitoring considerations from a service provider angle, best practices in QoE from a monitoring vendor perspective, and CPE and QoE considerations from an STB viewpoint.
