  2. V-Factor Components Management Software • End-to-End Correlation • Configuration & Management • Monitoring & Diagnostics • Aggregation &Reporting • Integration to OSS VIDEO HEADEND CORE VIDEO SERVICE OFFICE ACCESS HOME Software Agents Network Probes Network Probes Headend Analyzer Network Probes • Real time monitoring of video streams (network performance & content quality) from within the customer premise Software Agents • Powered by V-Factor • Collect, aggregate & report network performance quality metrics Network Probes Headend Analyzer • Collect, aggregate & report quality & integrity of source video as well as transcoding and encoding impairments True End-End Solution: specialized functions for each demarcation

  3. Management Software VIDEO HEADEND CORE VIDEO SERVICE OFFICE ACCESS HOME Software Agents Network Probes Network Probes Head-End Analyzer Network Probes Software Agents Network Probes Head-End Analyzer V-Factor’s 4 Unique Capabilities • 1. Deep Pixel-by-Pixel Headend Solution • Deep pixel-by-pixel video content analysis – not just video stream • Accurately detects source content issues and headend errors – major issues impacting ALL customers • No-reference and full-reference configurations • 2. Scalable CPE Offering • Lightweight agent for PC, STB, gateway, etc • Complete end-end coverage of last mile & home – STB or Home Gateway - Up to 75% of problems • Proactive monitoring vs reactive probe-based solutions • Most scalable solution for end-end coverage • Scales as CPEs are added • No extra hardware, management costs Q-1000 Headend Analyzer • 3. Unique Correlation Capability • Single view of video quality as perceived by end-user • Pre-encrypted deep content analysis correlated with post-encrypted network header analysis to determine impact of impairments on video content • Industry’s most accurate assessment of end-user QoE - determines impact of network impairments on content • 4. Exclusive V-Factor Score • Simple MOS score (1-5) to represent subjective quality • Easy to understand, report, aggregate

  4. V-Factor Deployment in IPTV Network

  5. Q1000 Overview

  6. Headend AnalyzerQ-1000 Q-1000 Key Features Native support for all industry standard video formats and codecs Formats: HD 1080p, HD 1080i, HD 720p, SD (NTSC, PAL), VGA, CIF, QVGA, QCIF Codecs: MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG4, H.264, WMV, VC1, H.263.
