"Faced with discerning customers when it comes to having good video quality, operators are looking for a simple solution to identify video quality impairments and their possible causes," said Symmetricom's VP-Marketing Joyce Kim. "Today's high-bandwidth video, such as HD programming, VOD and SDV, makes providing high-quality video more complex. Constant content manipulation from the content owner down to the viewer adds corruption risk-such as encoding/transcoding, digital ad-insertion, splicing and statistical multiplexing."

"With the wide range of complex video equipment, and aggressive compression goals to ensure lowest bandwidth and network impacts, operators face challenges to ensure video service quality meets the growing customer quality expectations or face high operations costs, high customer churn and slower service deployment. The video and whitepaper are designed to clarify the issues and offer solutions," Kim explained.
