Tektronix signs deal with TV5 to deploy video quality monitoring solutions

Wireless testing vendor Tektronix announced its deal with Royal Thai Army Radio and Television Channel 5 (TV5) to supply video quality monitoring solutions.

TV5, a leading broadcaster in Thailand, has selected Tektronix Sentry and Medius to analyze and monitor video and audio content and transmission quality on the front-end and at its DVB-T2 Tx stations to deliver audio / video service to its TV subscribers and lower operating costs.

The broadcaster will benefit from real-time QoE monitoring to ensure that its program content complies with legal requirements and delivers the best quality video and audio content to its TV subscribers.

“In addition, Sentry and Medius will help us identify and diagnose video and audio errors accurately, eliminating the need for traditional expensive and time-consuming methods of troubleshooting and helping to reduce operating costs,” said Yosapon Meeprom, director, Technology and Broadcasting Department at TV5.

Tektronix’s Sentry identifies anomalies in the network at the IP and MPEG layers as well as in QoE, identifying issues including frozen video, tiling/macroblocking and audio disruptions or audio-level issues, which represent the bulk of trouble calls from subscribers.
