File-based media workflow orchestration, media streaming and delivery technologies provider Telestream has introduced new post-origin content monitoring capabilities for ABR streaming media within its iQ ABR monitoring solutions.

The technology is designed to address what the company believes are OTT streaming providers’ two paramount challenges: managing customer experience; capitalising on advertisement revenue. These latest additions to the Telestream iQ ABR monitoring solution are designed to provide insights that enable content owners, broadcasters, and service providers to manage these critical issues that can make or break their streaming service.

The solutions now offer both content delivery network and audio and video perceptual quality analytics of all leading codecs — including H.264/AVC, H.265/HEVC, AC-3/Dolby Digital and E-AC-3/Dolby Digital Plus — in a cloud platform. In addition to content accessibility, packaging analysis, and network performance, the new OTT monitoring tools provide insights to perceptual quality of streaming content.

Telestream says these capabilities allow users to track key performance indicators and alerts them of impairments that would affect customer experience. “Our latest OTT monitoring advancements give content owners and service providers deeper visibility into video and audio quality,” commented director of product management Matthew Driscoll.

“With media analysis monitoring, you can be assured that the OTT service is streaming smoothly, the video looks great and audio levels are hitting the mark. OTT content preparation and distribution is a complex endeavour...Our portfolio of purpose-built probes and management systems for data correlation are designed to take away the guesswork and focus teams on solving real problems.”
