Cheetah Technologies and Alpha Technologies GmbH to Present and Demo Video QoE Monitoring Solutions at ANGA

PITTSBURGH, April 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Cheetah Technologies, LP will showcase how cable system operators can ensure Quality of Experience in complex video environments at the ANGA Cable Exhibition and Congress May 3-5 in Cologne, Germany.

Jeremy Bennington, Senior Vice President Strategic Operations and General Manager of Cheetah V-Factor, will be a featured speaker at the "Video Services Everywhere on Any Screen" technology session at 3:45 p.m., Wednesday, May 4. Bennington's presentation, entitled "Ensuring IP QoE: How Does Your Video Measure Up?," will discuss how solutions, such as Cheetah V-Factor, can ensure optimal customer experiences as video is delivered to tablets, smart phones and other devices.

Cheetah's V-Factor portfolio includes the V-Factor Stream Probe and the V-Factor Source Monitor, industry leading QoE solutions currently employed in the cable television industry and beyond. Cheetah couples this monitoring solution with the Q-Advisor management software solution designed to aid the video technician in identifying and prioritizing video defect resolution. Cable Operators are managing 10s of offices, 100s of channels, 1,000s of program streams and 100,000s of events; V-Factor uniquely provides an end to end solution to monitor and manage this environment.

"In today's networks, there is a plethora of encoding, transcoding, ad insertion, process events, and other opportunities for errors potentially affecting the quality of the image that viewers see at home," said Bennington. "Cheetah V-Factor uniformly and pro-actively monitors and measures any blockiness, blur or many other artifacts that can impede viewing satisfaction on any device."

Cheetah will also be demonstrating the V-Factor portfolio at the Alpha Technologies GmbH stand (Level 10.2/Booth K28). We invite any and all video service providers to visit Cheetah for a demonstration. Alpha Technologies VP of International Sales & Business Development, Paul Shmotolokha stated that, "It is always exciting to work with Alpha's valued partners such as Cheetah Technologies to feature a cutting edge product like the V-Factor Video QoE monitoring product line."
