Witbe’s Remote Eye Controller application allows video service providers to remotely access their testing devices from anywhere in the world. With the REC, network operation center teams and remote testers have the ability to remotely access, control, and test their devices without being confined to the same location. This technology removes the need for engineers to travel thousands of miles to test specific devices in the field. The REC creates a virtual workspace that unites teams across countries and continents.

The REC combines all of a video service provider’s testing and monitoring devices — from STBs and OTT devices to mobile phones and web browsers — on the same screen. With the software’s Multiview, users can see and hear all their testing and monitoring devices, while the mosaic view allows them to efficiently monitor differences among them, a critical capability for checking lineup updates country-wide or blackouts for live events. The device’s remote, displayed next to the screen view, allows them to take control in real time, no matter where they or the testing device are located.

Recently, Witbe introduced a brand-new version of the REC that’s available on the web without any additional application. REC Web can run on any modern web browser, bolstering REC’s capabilities by allowing users to control their devices on laptops, smartphones, tablets, and more. In addition, REC Web builds on previous versions with improved latency, a stronger search, and native full-screen and picture-in-picture modes. The REC is a perfect match with Witbe’s Witbox line-up for simple, accessible, and powerful testing. Free your team from wires and begin testing from anywhere in the world with Witbe’s Remote Eye Controller!

Agama’s Client Device Monitoring solution provides detailed high-resolution real-time information on technical service quality, viewer behavior, and device health. Data is automatically collected from the viewers STB, other customer-premises equipment and/or player apps.

 

A key component of our solution is a lightweight software client integrated in the device or player software. The client sends compact, binary data about events and

continuously monitored metrics to the solutions central ingest infrastructure at frequent, configurable intervals. The information includes quality-related events such as packet loss and unavailability. State reporting makes it possible to see if the viewer has been watching multicast services or playing adaptive bitrate on-demand content, for example. Detected events are mapped to the relevant channel/asset and service type.

 

The client also supports reporting of device parameters such as CPU, memory and hard disk usage.

The integration (or adaptation of existing integration) of the client is performed by the STB or player application vendor with support and Quality Assurance performed by Agama to verify the integration. The client is deployed remotely via standard software update mechanisms.

 

The solution provides information on precisely the services that each viewer has watched. Opt-out settings and support for anonymization enable compliance with privacy legislation including GDPR.

YOUBORA gives video providers the comprehensive overview of their end-users’ streaming experience in real time, integrating with players to get the raw data that matters, and translating it into customizable and easily readable dashboards that not only provide businesses with all the data they could need, but also allow them to understand and act upon it in a meaningful way.

The challenge we had was to develop an evolution of our product which could convert extremely complex information into a visual design system intuitive enough to allow clients to identify, create, and stack their own patterns of KPIs, metrics, and dimensions based on the data for their individual service. By working closely with clients and always iterating towards a better version of our product, we were able to create a visual design language simple enough to enable users to obtain the data visibility that they need.

Currently, in version 6, faster and improved analytical capabilities, previously inaccessible mountains of raw data can now be leveraged for a complete range of business needs, from marketing to operations, product, and content departments. At NPAW we strive to provide video platforms with the analytics tools that they need to grow their business. That means we need to be quick, innovative, and forward thinking, always.

YOUBORA is a video intelligence solution that unites video analytics with business intelligence to improve video platforms for both the companies behind them and the people using them.
