Video Clarity ClearView 9.0 Now With NIQE No-Reference Metric
Making its European debut at IBC2018 is ClearView 9.0, the latest software release for Video Clarity’s ClearView line of video quality analyzers. Driven by customer input, version 9.0 provides several new features that help day-to-day users save time and get more utility from their existing ClearView systems. One major update is NIQE, a new high-performance, no-reference metric that provides accurate quality measurement when a source reference is not available — as is often the case in today’s cloud-based delivery workflows. Other new features include 12-bit video image support for file import, record and play operations, and HDR signaling for HDMI on ClearView outputs.
RTM IP With 10G IP for Testing Uncompressed or Compressed Streams

Using only Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet IP interfaces, RTM IP runs automatic, full reference, real-time quality testing in the IP domain for uncompressed and compressed video quality streams. Now program originators and manufacturers have an automatic, real-time test system for understanding quality of source versus processed streams or files in the SMPTE ST 2110 and ST 2022 network environment. Long-duration picture and audio quality testing, lip sync testing, and automatic error recording happen entirely in the IP domain.Venue Player IP With Record and Playback for 10G IP Networks

RTM Manager With File QoE for Automated Quality Testing
