The FullHD Witbe robot is designed to meet the needs of the growing market for high-definition services, and provides perceptual and network quality indicators including visual zapping time, non-reference MOS-type video and audio quality analysis, and MPEG Priority 1 and 2 metrics.

"It was possible thanks to the technological progress of the French operators for the past 4 years."

The new solution supports IPTV, cable, satellite and FTTH infrastructures, as well as MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 formats and Microsoft Mediaroom.
