Volicon Releases Automatic Macroblocking Detector

Volicon has announced the availability of the Observer QoE, a quality assurance/quality of experience module for the company's Observer monitoring and logging system for broadcasting and media analysis. With the QoE, the Observer is designed to provide an automated method for analyzing a video image to detect macroblocking, a process that traditionally has required human intervention to spot the on-screen anomalies. The Observer QoE was developed in cooperation with several major U.S. cable operators to quickly and reliably detect macroblocking, commonly known as "pixelization." (Expo booth 213)
