SSIMWAVE is an IMAX company We know that managing lean production workflows to deliver better viewer experiences without reprocessing and high variable costs is not simple. Ensuring an optimum balance between video quality and bitrate is difficult when QA and optimization tools are expensive to operate and often don’t correlate well with human vision. SSIMWAVE’s Video Experience Automation Platform connects to your workflow and operationalizes viewer experience data to remove the guesswork and inconsistency from manual QA and validation processes. By plugging into the content creation, contribution, distribution, and delivery steps, your QA function can be scaled beyond non-metric-based processes so that you can deliver a reliable quality of experience to your distributors and subscribers. The Video Experience Automation Platform uses APIs to act as a control plane for your existing video encoding, processing, and distribution workflows to answer questions like, what should the optimum bitrate be for my files and streams? Do I need a full QC on every stream or file? What is the best method to measure visual quality losses between my source, mezzanine, and compressed files? How can I ensure the highest quality is always delivered to my viewers? Assuring consistent video experience in a cost-effective way can be a challenge when you don’t manage the entire distribution chain. We understand that the variety of environments that your video passes through couldn’t be more diverse. From SVOD to Pay TV, to vMVPD and social networks, the technical requirements and business model variations can heavily impact the final visual quality. The Emmy®-awarded SSIMPLUS® algorithm is the most accurate viewer experience metric ever engineered, and it is the foundation of our Video Experience Automation Platform. The products include VQ Dial, VOD Monitor, and Live Monitor, which allow media companies to be 100% confident they are delivering content at the targeted quality level.
