Introducing the OTT Media Grinder (OMG) & OMG-Lite

The OTT Media Grinder (OMG) simulates multiple OTT clients (iPhone, iPad, etc) with multiple user-defined behaviors. Simulating multiple client pools playing real assets, to the end or abruptly terminating, OMG gives you in-depth and unparalleled visibility of adaptive bit rate 'gear changes', buffering, as well as server and network problems.

There are two models available: the full featured OMG supports up to 2000 clients, while the cost-effective OMG-Lite supports up to ten clients. Both models share the identical set of rich features giving you in-depth and detailed visibility into your service quality.

To quantify the unique QoS/QoE performance factors for Over-The-Top Video, Pixelmetrix has developed the comprehensive VideoMargin™ Metrics, for complete insight into the OTT delivery - measuring network, HTTP and video layer performance.

The seven VideoMargin™ parameters measure each aspect of the delivery domain spanning content server, network, authentication, individual client behavior and collective client behavior as well.  Consolidated service availability is also provided as a single number in a familiar '5 nines' type of representation.

OMG features a powerful, highly visual presence and asset model editor.  This lets you easily configure both the number of clients over time as well as the assets of which those clients are 'watching'.
