Source Monitoring Solution for Digital Video
Cheetah V-Factor Source Monitor (VS-SM) uses unique video analysis technology to provide the industry’s first repeatable, objective source monitoring solution for automating headend contribution feed validation. Using a Human Vision System to emulate the human eye, the VF-SM accurately determines video quality by seeing how the video looks to the subscriber.

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

In addition to providing valuable objective monitoring data to complement existing validation relying on Golden Eyes, V-Factor SM ideally automates tasks which previously relied solely on human observation—such as video equipment qualification or competitive analysis between existing video services.

The V-Factor Source Monitor enables operators to detect, isolate and troubleshoot video by providing accurate and repeatable measurements on how the video content actually appears to viewers.
