Net-vProbe
The Net vProbe is a scalable software solution for monitoring the transport quality of the OTT (DASH and HLS) multicast video streams. The probe can be installed on the x86 servers or virtual machines at the strategic test points on the cloud or locally. The actual allowed number of OTT and /or multicast streams is limited only by the selected physical or virtual equipment. HLS and DASH compatible measures stream throughput. Verifies HLS manifest correctness and verifies DASH sidx files correctness. Monitors all profiles simultaneously, throughput over time histograms allow independent analysis of each profile. Allows around-the-clock round-robin monitoring for large numbers of streams. Verifies and reports HTTP and detects HTTP errors. Dynamic generation of HTTP requests, the probe behaves as OTT client/player. Video decoding and thumbnail presentation. Buffer fill percentage. Stream transport quality factor S.

Mividi
Mividi IP Video Monitoring System (TSM100) is an ideal choice for monitoring video QoS of IPTV services. In general, IPTV service providers acquire video content from multiple sources, including satellite, fiber optical cable, terrestrial broadcast, as well as locally generated videos. The source streams may be decoded and re-encoded to satisfy their bandwidth allocation needs and meet the specification of customers’ receiving devices. Therefore, it is common that hundreds of programs and many different transport streams are being processed in service providers’ head-ends. Additional complexity may be added in order to process advertisement insertion and provide EPG information. In order to provide their customers with video services with the best possible quality, service providers need to actively monitor their services at multiple points where streams are processed.

NET-MOZAIC
NET-MOZAIC is a powerful, real-time, software-based probe for monitoring the quality of IPTV stream content. It can be operated as a standalone appliance or it can be deployed as an integral component of our NET-xTVMS IPTV monitoring system. NET-MOZAIC is ideally located at the head end with access to unencrypted TV channels where it can decode and analyze picture quality. Simultaneous full motion preview and image analysis of multiple SD and/or HD streams, actual # subject to the server and CPU benchmarks. Supports analysis of hundreds of streams using a round-robin polling scheme on up to 4 monitors. User-defined alarm thresholds for all video and audio quality metrics. Supports MPTS and SPTS multicast streams, encapsulated in UDP or UDP/RTP MPEG-TS. Supports OTT streams encoded in HTTP HLS and DASH. The thumbnail screen allows viewing of a large number of streams simultaneously. ADOVIQ -12 advanced video quality metrics applied to the selected stream with video quality report.

MPlayer
MPlayer is a movie player which runs on many systems. It plays most MPEG/VOB, AVI, Ogg/OGM, VIVO, ASF/WMA/WMV, QT/MOV/MP4, RealMedia, Matroska, NUT, NuppelVideo, FLI, YUV4MPEG, FILM, RoQ, PVA files, supported by many native, XAnim, and Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, DivX 3/4/5, WMV and even H.264 movies. Another great feature of MPlayer is the wide range of supported output drivers. It works with X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev, AAlib, and DirectFB, but you can use GGI, SDL (and this way all their drivers), VESA (on every VESA compatible card, even without X11!) and some low-level card-specific drivers (for Matrox, 3Dfx and ATI), too! Most of them support software or hardware scaling, so you can enjoy movies in fullscreen. MPlayer supports displaying through some hardware MPEG decoder boards, such as the Siemens DVB, DXR2 and DXR3/Hollywood+.
