video streaming
Monitor Master comes with extensive video streaming test support.
The system can connect to a variety of video stream sources, such as
YouTube, and analyze the quality of the received video stream. A range of
metrics and KPIs are calculated including buffering, bandwidth, and various
other perceived quality measurements (see Video Quality below).
Using Monitor Master you can also quickly verify the availability of all
your video feeds through Video PING (VPING).
As with all IP-based Monitor Master tests, IP packet level trace informa-
tion is captured allowing detailed diagnostic work to be performed in the
event of a failure or poor performance.
video Quality
Monitor Master has full support for Video Mean Opinion Score (VMOS)
calculations on streamed video content in order to verify the quality as
perceived by the end user.
The Mean Opinion Score (MOS) was originally defined by the ITU-T for
voice calls. The standard provides a numerical indication of the perceived
quality of the call.
The MOS approach is now applied to video content using a number of
algorithms to calculate a video MOS based on a non-intrusive analysis of
received content.
Monitor Master dynamically accesses video stream content over
the air or via a LAN connection and calculates the video MOS as would be
experienced by an end user.
Monitor Master measures and analyzes content using a non-intrusive
approach. Reference content is not required, making it ideally suited to
monitoring streaming services in general as well as for services where no
reference content is available, such as mobile TV.
3g Cs video Call
Using Monitor Master you can test circuit switched video calls on a 3G
network. Monitor Master can simulate a 64kbps circuit switched video call
from a UMTS modem on one Agent to a UMTS modem on another Agent.
