🚨 New version of "Full Reference Video Quality Monitor" (FRVQM)! 🚨 Measure and monitor video quality, audio quality, loudness and lipsync from live video & audio signals : HDMI, SDI, IP streaming (UDP, RTP, HTTP, HTTPS, HLS, MPEG-DASH, RTSP, RTMP, NDI). The new features enable new ways to: - access specific video and audio streams from MPTS (Multi-Program Transport Streams) - maintain synchronization between the video under test and its reference video when there are lost frames Ideal for broadcast & broadband monitoring, encoders & decoders testing. Evaluate FRVQM for free : https://lnkd.in/ebFbsmn5 #fullreference #videoquality #perceptualmetrics #VMAF #PSNR #lipsync

TV and video platforms thrive on content and channels. Historically, carriage agreements for cable and satellite operators involved substantial licensing deals worth millions, with technical delivery fees being a minor part of the deal. Today, however, streaming TV and broadcast media face a stark contrast: ad-funded monetization now consists of 90% technology fees and only 10% revenue for content sources. So, what went wrong? https://lnkd.in/ermaN9BC

The latest Radio World eBook includes a great QA with Chris Gould of All In Media (part of Xperi Inc.) on how its Rapid solution fits into the metadata ecosystem. As Chris explains, Rapid enables broadcasters to "manage the creation, synchronization, and distribution of metadata associated with their audio services across broadcast and IP platforms." He further explains how "metadata is the key that ensures a listener has the best experience while consuming the station's content."

Great article by Fabio Sonnati in Streaming Media Magazine outlining the increasingly complex nature of measuring perceived video quality. Traditional metrics, like VMAF, may serve well for a narrow set of use cases but quickly show their limits with modern codecs and AI enhancements. For instance, when assessing scenarios involving film grain synthesis or AI-based super-resolution, VMAF falls short, misinterpreting enhancements that align well with creative intent as degradation.   However, unlike VMAF, IMAX’s XVS metric rewards grain retention, lack of banding, and retention of detail, offering more consistent, perceptually aligned evaluations.    As someone who’s spent 18 years studying video quality, I’m excited to see our metric continue to evolve, ensuring accurate, actionable insights for the next era of video technology.   #VideoQuality #Innovation #AI IMAX Streaming and Consumer Technology

Every company founder has a story to tell, and in the case of the Connected TV Marketing Association, there’s quite a tale to tell. In ‘Beam Me Up, The Future of Smart TV - Battle for Control' (Ch 7), I share with readers the 7 year legal battle and fight to control the CTVMA during the global streaming wars. For those of you who don’t know, there were over a hundred people involved in our foundation, and many of whom are prominent, well known, leading industry figures in entertainment, business, broadcasting, advertising and finance, who will all receive special mentions in my upcoming book #StreamingWars 💣
