Broadcast services in an IPTV network refer to a service that allows subscribers to receive a copy of a particular program, streamed to a group of subscribers. Naturally all subscribers get almost the same copy of the content with differences only of ads or local content insertion.

The Omni-Q for IPTV has the capability to easily monitor thousands of SD or HD quality streams using hardware probes positioned at strategic location in the IPTV network and measure many parameters for each broadcast stream presence at these locations.

The measurements are:

• Video media quality
• Audio media quality
• IP flow characteristics
• Transport stream quality
• Transport stream parameters and errors
• VOD signaling and control message properties
• VOD signaling and control messages errors
