SCTE Corporate member Witbe, pioneers in test automation and monitoring technology for video service providers, have recently launched its new ABR Stream Analysis technology, which was demonstrated at this year’s NAB show in Las Vegas. The company, with headquarters in Paris, claims to be the only company capable of testing any video service running on any device (including PCs, smartphones, STBs, and smart TVs) over any network (including fibre, 5G, and OTT). Witbe’s latest offering enhances the powerful monitoring capabilities of the company’s award-winning Witbox+ by analysing the requests between a video app being tested and the network it’s running on. Witbe say their technology supplies providers with additional data on how a user’s video-watching experience is affected by the Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) stream. True enough, it tests and monitors real, physical devices to measure user quality of experience and identify video issues. The Witbox+ allows teams to observe and monitor services while they are running on any real device, including smart TVs and mobile devices.
