What it does? Sentry is a comprehensive content monitoring solution that gives video service providers unparalleled visibility into network anomalies at the IP and MPEG layers to quickly identify and repair errors that degrade picture/audio quality (i.e. video freeze macro-blocking loss of audio etc.). This enables the delivery of video programming with optimum quality thus ensuring optimal Quality of Experience (QoE) for subscribers which reduces costly customer churn. Additionally Sentry's ability to quickly detect identify and localize errors anywhere in the network enables service providers to zero in on the underlying issues dramatically reducing diagnosis and repair times. This substantially reduces operational expenses.
What makes it Innovative? Sentry's unique Perceptual Scoring System enables service providers to accurately determine the severity of video and audio glitches as they occur and precisely how much they impact viewers QoE. By distinguishing minor glitches from major issues service providers can focus immediately on major issues to ensure an optimal QoE.
Targeted Users: Sentry has been developed specifically for cable telecom and IPTV service providers. As these service providers continue to upgrade their networks and add new services (VOD HD interactivity) to attract customers they increase the complexity of their networks increasing the likelihood of errors that impact the overall experience- making quality monitoring mission critical today.
Satisfied Customers: Mixed Signals has a lengthy portfolio of satisfied customers- including eight of the top 10 U.S. cable operators. Service providers such as Comcast Time Warner Cable Rogers Communications Cablecom Bright House Networks Bresnan Communications and Buckeye Cable have all successfully deployed Sentry to proactively monitor their programming to ensure their subscribers enjoy the best possible Quality of Experience.
