Pixelmetrix will showcase its Electronic Couch Potato (ECP) and Consolidator Engine to illustrate Remote Viewer Quality Monitoring at booth SU6007. The Electronic Couch Potato is an after the network probe that measures and reports the end-users’ experience for delivered video services. Collecting telemetry from multiple ECPs distributed across a wide network and presenting it effectively is essential to the value proposition of the product. A population of the ECPs deployed throughout the network are configured, managed and controlled by the Consolidator Engine, which also provides intelligent presentation of information reported by the ECPs.

One of the key features of the ECP is telepresence, which allows remote monitoring of the audio and video output of the STB. This is achieved by encoding the audio and video signals and streaming them back to the central site. In addition, numerous measurements and parameters for QoE and QoS are reported. This facilitates a close audit of what is really going on ‘out there’.

Other highlights at the booth include the Emmy Award winning DVStation-210, DVStation‑IP³, DVStorIP-Gen, DVB-S.2 ASLF, DVStor, VISUALmpeg Qualify, DVStation-Mini² DVB-T and EndGame.

The NAB show will be held from April 20 to 23 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
