Press Release Summary: NAB Las Vegas, April 15, 2008 - Pixelmetrix, the global expert in Preventive Monitoring for digital television and IPTV networks, will feature its Electronic Couch PotatoT (ECP) and ECP ConsolidatorT as part of the Viewer Experience Monitoring demo, at Booth SU12105.
Press Release Body: The Electronic Couch PotatoT stands out with its ability to emulate the end-user changing channels on a Set Top Box via a built-in infrared (IR) control transmitter. Service plan verification, channel switching and recording measurements on service quality for each channel to be reported to a central management console, equips the service provider with an in-depth knowledge of the end-user's experience. Most importantly, it helps to check whether the channels that the ECP scans are actually available in the first place. "The Electronic Couch PotatoT is designed to monitor the true customer viewing experience by providing measurements from the end point of the content delivery chain. The ECPT connects after the Set Top Box (STB) and provides feedback on various service quality parameters to a central site," said Danny Wilson, President and CEO of Pixelmetrix.
The ECPT takes the raw audio-video output of the STB as its input to make parameter measurements. It utilizes the decoded signal from a consumer-graded STB to make a complete and true evaluation of the end-user's QoE.
Highlights at the booth include Pixelmetrix end-to-end monitoring solutions and emerging video over IP transmission monitoring solutions featuring the Emmy® Award winning DVStation-210, Electronic Couch PotatoT (ECP) and ECP ConsolidatorT, DVStation-Remote, DVStation-IPł, DVStorIP-Gen, DVStor, DVProbe-C, VISUALmpeg Qualify, ATSC Transport Stream Compliance Verification software and DVB-S.2 ASLF.
The NAB exhibition will be held from April 14 to 17 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
