PQASW

Next generation compression algorithms are

increasing the complexity of CODEC designs

– Raises the importance of chrominance

measurements and 10 bit measurements.

The PQASW addresses the need to scale

Picture Quality measurements in terms of the

speed and portability of the analysis

platform, the Picture Quality scores, and the

analysis depth.

– The Advanced Analysis Option (Opt ADV)

has a 10 bit measurement execution, and a

Color PSNR measurement with Vector

Display.

– For evaluation and trials of transcoders, the

PQASW includes an optional embedded

reference decoder and IP interface (Opt IP).


Tektronix Turns Up Audio Loudness Measurement Capabilities

VQS1000 Video & Audio Quality Analysis Software

NEW Enhancements

MPEG-2, AC-3, MPEG-2 AAC and MPEG-4 AAC codec support

Loudness, true peak and dial norm metrics

Lissajous display for phase error detection

Auto set Dial Norm alarm levels according to ATSC or EBU specifications

Audio level meters and trend analysis display for up to 6 channels

Display of video metadata including codec type, number of channels, bit rate, sample

rate and dial norm (AC-3 only)

Building upon the audio loudness

measurement capabilities available across our

product portfolio – New software upgrade adheres to ATSC A/85 (CALM

Act) and ITU-R BS.1770-1/1771 specs

– Ideal for network analysis tool troubleshooting QoE

problems and tracing them back to the underlying QoS

root cause


Compressed Video and Audio Analysis Software

MTS4EA Elementary Stream Analyzer

New software updates to support evolution of two popular CODEC formats

The Scalable Video Coding (SVC) format provides functionalities such as graceful degradation in lossy transmission environments as well as bit rate, format, and power adaptation.

These functionalities provide enhancements to transmission and storage applications.

– The MTS4EA supports the Baseline, High and High Intra

profiles.

The AVC Intra profiles provide a means for H.264/AVC to be used for production quality, HD video purposes, such as editing, archiving and contribution.

It defines 10-bit intra-frame only compression, which is easy for editing and preserves maximum video quality.

– The MTS4EA supports the High10, High422, High444 and CALVC Intra profiles.
