Perceptual Quality MPEG Video File Analyzer

2. v.Cortex saves you time and provides consistent,
accurate quality measurements, ensuring your video
assets meet customer expectations
REPORT
VOD
The PC-based software watches your MPEG-2 and H.264 distribution
quality video files, and provides an estimate of your customers’ quality
perception, or perceived Mean Opinion Score (pMOS).

4. v.Cortex discovers
video scenes that do
not meet your
customers’ quality
expectations

5. v.Cortex is a No Reference Model
The human visual system (HVS) is aware of
MPEG impairments without seeing
original, or source video. v.Cortex is a no-
reference model, like the HVS, and does
not require source material to estimate
quality.
