April 16, 2008 - The Electronic Couch Potato™ 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 Potato™ is designed to monitor the true customer viewing experience by providing measurements from the end point of the content delivery chain. The ECP™ 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 ECP™ 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 Potato™ (ECP) and ECP Consolidator™, 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.
