It’s impossible to keep an eye on video quality for all your content. Until now.
SSIMPLUS monitors video quality across all devices, resolutions, formats, networks and services, 24/7. Our software probes are your “eyes” for every stage of your workflow or delivery chain.
Here are the most common pain points we can help you with:
Measure
Understand the Viewer Experience at any point in your chain and make informed decisions.
Measure the Viewer Experience
Quantify the impact of every process and parameter on the Viewer Experience for both SDR and HDR content by looking into your video delivery chain from glass to glass. Detect issues like banding, encoding impairments, A/V sync, macroblocking, video freeze, and many more with SSIMPLUS, the most accurate Viewer Experience metric.
Compare Delivery Chains
Compare the Viewer Experience over a variety of services (D2C and OTT, IPTV, cable, satellite) or workflow segments to ensure a consistent Viewer Experience and optimize distribution costs.
Correlate Viewer Behavior with Quality
Link video player data with the SSIMPLUS Viewer Score to understand how Viewer Experience impacts viewership. Reduce churn on SVOD and increase both subscribers and viewing time on AVOD/LIVE.
Measure E2E Sports Performance
Understand how each part of the LIVE delivery chain is impacting the Viewer Experience – from the stadium trucks to the end-user device.
Manage
Improve the day-to-day performance of your video delivery chain to achieve efficiencies and savings.
Validate LIVE & VOD Asset Quality
Measure video quality across your Live/VOD workflows at scale with Pass/Fail Viewer Experience thresholds in order to catch and fix quality degradations.
Validate Source Quality
Stop bad video in its tracks by measuring the Viewer Experience for all incoming LIVE or VOD assets. Don’t waste resources processing content with a subpar SSIMPLUS Viewer Score.
Manage Content Hand-offs
Measure content before and after suppliers/distributors touch it to quickly find the root cause for any quality degradation. Use the SSIMPLUS metric as a quality currency to exchange assets, optimize partner coordination and simplify agreements.
Manage HDR Content
Validate, manage and protect HDR/Dolby Vision™ quality to offer superior services while lowering distribution and delivery costs.
Optimize
Realize savings & monetize better while keeping the Viewer Experience at desired levels.
Reduce VOD Bitrates
Lowering costs while achieving desired Viewer Experience levels is no longer wishful thinking. Select the perfect balance of quality and cost for your VOD workflow. Select the best conditions (encoder, bitrate, etc) on a per asset or scene basis to optimize your delivery costs and delight viewers.
Optimize ABR Ladders
Reduce bitrates and costs by at least 20% by creating the optimal ABR ladders for your assets, using desired Viewer Experience thresholds.
Live Channels Optimization
Group channels by encoding complexity and distribute your resources accordingly. Save on low-complexity content or tune quality up where needed. Have more channels per Statmux or dynamically allocate resources in the cloud.
Optimize Manifest Selection
Adapt the Master Manifest to deliver the targeted quality for each device and asset; and nothing more. Reduce costs while maintaining a quality tailored to the viewing conditions.
