Pixelmetrix Danny Wilson publishes OTT White Paper

Singapore, August 11, 2011 – Danny Wilson, Pixelmetrix President & CEO, has published an OTT White Paper, entitled QoS/QoE Metrics for Over-The-Top (OTT) Television.

Wilson said, “OTT is a new game with new rules and new problems.  With the hype surrounding OTT in this era of ubiquitous TV, more and more companies are rushing to market.  For all the players, competitive advantage will be reduced to two things: content and quality."

This paper covers delivery technologies, OTT versus IPTV, a success story and explains how OTT works, amongst other thought-provoking pointers.

"The primary driver of TV quality is signal impairments – the adoption of OTT transmission changes this forever.  In our research, we have identified seven key OTT performance metrics.  The implementation of robust quality metrics addressing this new game is vital to deliver the TV quality promise," he added.
