Network real-time video performance and quality testing

Most streaming video is transmitted using TCP and the Real Time Streaming protocol, which means jitter is the key performance metric, as opposed to packet loss. Any lost packets will be recovered by the TCP stack, resulting in little to no packet loss, but in turn causing significant jitter spikes which degrade video picture and sound quality.

MCS MyVideo accurately tests TCP socket-to-socket connections for jitter, the key performance measurement affecting real-time streaming video applications. MyVideo accurately measures and identifies TCP delays that cause jitter and clearly shows the impact to the data flow and resulting jitter over time.

MyVideo is an optional component of the MyConnection Server (MCS) framework. MyVideo tests connections using the Real Time Streaming protocol, the most common vehicle to deliver video content by service providers, ensuring an accurate measure of the connection being tested.
