eVQA leverages Common Media Server Data (CMSD) headers to provide real-time video quality insights directly from the encoder, eliminating the need for costly hardware probes or complex monitoring infrastructure. Unlike traditional VQA methods that require video decoding and Digital Rights Management (DRM) handling, eVQA integrates seamlessly into existing streaming workflows, enabling scalable, cost-effective monitoring.
While CMSD has long been considered a promising but largely theoretical solution, Touchstream’s eVQA is the first to bring it into real-world application. By extracting Media Quality Assessment (MQA) data from the encoder and embedding it into CMSD headers, eVQA enables real-time monitoring at scale. This eliminates the need for expensive hardware probes, reduces operational complexity, and provides instant visibility into encoding quality, allowing engineers to detect and address issues before they impact viewers.
eVQA’s software-based approach ensures efficient, cost-effective monitoring of multiple streams without additional hardware. By tapping directly into the encoding process, it ensures uninterrupted streaming through automated pipeline switching, minimising disruptions and playback failures.
“eVQA is a game-changer for video engineers and streaming providers,” said Brenton Ough, CEO & Co-Founder of Touchstream. “By embedding MQA data into CMSD headers, we deliver real-time visibility into video quality without additional hardware, reducing costs while improving streaming performance.”
By adopting eVQA, streaming providers gain a powerful, data-driven approach to video quality analysis, ensuring superior viewer experiences while reducing operational complexity. As the industry moves toward CMSD adoption, eVQA positions video platforms at the forefront of innovation.
