vxQuality System
Your viewers don’t care about bitrate. They care about picture quality. vxQuality System is the only broadcast-native platform that measures, predicts and controls quality in real time — autonomously, on every channel, every frame.
Static profiles guess. vxQuality knows.
Bitrate allocation shouldn’t be a one-size-fits-all guess. Here’s what changes when quality becomes measurable.
Today — Without vxQuality
- Bitrate set by static profiles — regardless of scene complexity
- Quality issues discovered by viewers, not by the system
- Full VMAF takes seconds — too slow for live control
- No quality baseline for SLA reporting or capacity planning
- Bandwidth wasted on easy content; hard scenes starved of bits
With vxQuality System
- Bitrate follows scene complexity — automatically, per channel
- Quality degradation detected before viewers notice
- AI prediction under 1ms — loop closes inside the encoder
- Continuous VMAF-equivalent scores for every channel, every frame
- Spare bandwidth reallocated in real time to where it matters
Broadcast and OTT. Real-time prediction and closed-loop control.
Where the savings come from.
Four outcomes vxQuality System delivers from day one — no infrastructure change required.
Cut Transmission Costs Without Touching Quality
Static profiles over-provision bitrate for simple scenes to protect complex ones. vxQuality System suggests how to relocate bitrate — freeing capacity during low-complexity content and redirecting it precisely when needed. The bandwidth bill drops. Picture quality stays.
Deliver Objectively Better Picture Quality
Sports action, film grain, dark scenes — the system sees them before the encoder does and suggests changes or pre-allocates (with vxTranscoder) the bits needed. No more macro-blocking on a stadium crowd or banding in a cinema close-up. Every scene gets exactly what it needs.
Monitor Quality Across Your Entire Output
Continuous VMAF-equivalent scoring on every channel — broadcast, OTT, and HLS/DASH delivery simultaneously. Quality SLAs become contractual commitments backed by data. Compliance reports, not guesswork.
No Infrastructure Change Required
vxQuality System integrates directly with the StreamVX transcoder and StatMux pipeline or can run as a standalone monitoring tool. No cloud subscription. Runs on a single server handling multiple channels simultaneously at negligible load.
One measurement. One clear decision.
Differential analysis between source and transcoded output shows exactly where bitrate can be safely reduced — and where it can’t.
SOURCE7.5 Mbps · VMAF 97.99
TRANSCODED6.0 Mbps · VMAF 97.85
“The result of our measurement proves that there is no reason to keep high 7.5 Mbps bandwidth. 6 Mbps is enough to keep the profile in the setup equally high and efficient.”
Real channels. Real scores. No mockups.
The vxQuality System console — prediction and measurement side by side on live channels, with the latency gap that separates them, exactly as your engineers will see it.
Proven across the operator stack.
Three scenarios where vxQuality System turns picture quality from a guess into a measured, contractual guarantee.
ABR Ladder Control
An operator with 280 channels in ABR OTT/IPTV deployment wants to make sure the bandwidth in the ABR transcoding ladder is allocated reasonably, using bandwidth optimally without compromising quality.
Quality SLA Enforcement
An OTT operator commits to >80 VMAF for premium tiers in their subscriber contract. vxQuality System scores every segment on every stream, triggers alerts on degradation, and generates compliance evidence for SLA reporting.
Codec Migration Validation
Moving a channel from MPEG-2 to AV1 or HEVC? vxQuality System provides objective before/after quality scores at every bitrate point — replacing subjective viewing tests with certified VMAF data and optimising the new profile ladder.
The question is no longer whether you can afford to measure quality.
The question is whether you can afford not to — when your competitors already are.
