Video Quality Management Solutions
Cheetah’s breakthrough V-Factor® Quality of Experience monitoring products enable operators to detect, isolate and troubleshoot video by providing accurate and repeatable measurements on how video content actually appears to viewers. V-Factor’s Human Vision System technology emulates the human eye so operators can see what their subscribers see.

V-Factor Source Monitor (VF-SM) analyzes multiple HD or SD video streams as they are received in a headend in order to benchmark, identify trends and poor quality events before an operator packages the video for distribution.

V-Factor® Stream Probe Advanced (VF-SPa) with Intelligent Decode, in combination with the V-Factor Stream Probe Standard, provides the industry's most accurate and scalable end-to-end digital video monitoring solution. VF-SPa is used after the video has been encoded, transcoded, muxed and processed for network transmission. VF-SPa is critical to not only analyzing the IP and MPEG aspects of the video, but also ensuring that no visual impairments have been introduced by the operator while processing the video.

V-Factor Stream Probe Standard (VF-SPs) offers a comprehensive analysis of IP, MPEG and MPEG video coding layer attributes to ensure any network transmission trends and events are reported. VF-SPs is typically deployed in the network, hub sites, and can also be embedded in edge derives and set-top boxes.

Using Cheetah’s V-Factor portfolio an operator can monitor video and understand not only if there are distribution issues, but the visual quality that a subscriber sees.
