Discussion: Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) are organized into the new concept of quality layers - with targeted metrics measurable at different quality layers. Tomorrow's core and distribution networks will be different. Traditional QoS focuses primarily on transport layer quality, specifically, loss and jitter, while media stream quality will be measured at multiplexers which reach into different program streams. Further, content quality may be measured at encoders and decoders – thus enabling the closest estimate of user-perceived picture and audio quality. Transaction quality encompasses service interaction such as channel change.
Tomorrow's IPTV marketplace will require metrics to ensure reliable troubleshooting, monitoring, and service quality management. Further, metrics will play a critical role in assessing areas such as error correction, encryption impacts, and fault code reporting. This Webinar will explore those metrics, and also explore IPTV's new directions, which will enable compelling new features including stereoscopic 3D video.
During this Webinar industry experts will examine how IPTV Service Quality standards are evolving, improving service quality management (SQM), and enabling efficiencies which lower costs and increase customer satisfaction.
