    Pixelmetrix Corporation is a company that develops preventive monitoring products for terrestrial, satellite, cable, and IPTV networks. The company is known for its DVStation product, and also provides equipment and network intelligence systems to television broadcasters for the management and monitoring of "Quality of Service" and "Quality of Experience". Pixelmetrix is headquartered in Singapore, and also has offices in the United States and Europe.

    The OTT Media Grinder (OMG) simulates thousands of OTT clients (iPhone, iPad, etc) with multiple user-defined behaviors. Simulating multiple client pools playing real assets, to the end or abruptly terminating, OMG gives you in-depth and unparalleled visibility of adaptive bit rate 'gear changes', buffering, as well as server and network problems.

    To quantify the unique QoS/QoE performance factors for Over-The-Top Video, Pixelmetrix has developed the comprehensive VideoMargin™ Metrics, for complete insight into the OTT delivery - measuring network, HTTP and video layer performance.

    The seven VideoMargin™ parameters measure each aspect of the delivery domain spanning content server, network, authentication, individual client behavior and collective client behavior as well.  Consolidated 'service availability' is also provided as a single number in a familiar '5 nines' type of representation.
