PEVQ™ – the leading Video Quality Testing for Video telephony, Mobile TV and IPTV

OPTICOM’s PEVQ provides MOS scores of the video quality for IPTV, streaming video, mobile TV and video telephony. Perceptual Evaluation of Video Quality measures degradations occurring through a network by analyzing the degraded video signal output from the network. This Quality-of-Experience (QoE) testing is based on modelling the behaviour of the human visual tract and besides the overall quality abnormalities in the video signal are quantified by a variety of KPIs, including PSNR, distortion indicators and lip-sync delay. After successful benchmarks by the Video Quality Experts Group (VQEG), PEVQ has become part of new ITU-T Recommendation J.247 (2008).

OPTICOM, the leading provider of signal based perceptual measurement technology for voice, audio and video, offers its new easy to use real-time PEVQ measurement as part of the PEXQ software suite for Windows, and has licensed PEVQ to a range of OEM products from leading T&M manufacturers. The solutions cover different use cases from codec evaluation, over drive test tools for video telephony to IPTV test and monitoring equipment. See the following reference product guide to identify the PEVQ test tool of your choice, or contact us for further information.
