Press Release Body: IBC, RAI Amsterdam, September 7, 2007, Booth 1.339A -
Pixelmetrix, the global expert in Preventive Monitoring for digital television and
IPTV networks, wheels the latest addition to its array of Test and Measurement
solutions, the Electronic Couch PotatoT (ECP) and ConsolidatorT, to IBC 2007.

The Electronic Couch PotatoT is designed to monitor the true customer viewing
experience by providing measurements from the end point of the content delivery
chain. The ECPT connects after the Set Top Box (STB) and provides feedback on
various service quality parameters to a central site, including but not limited to,
network transmission quality, overall service quality and availability.

Danny Wilson, Pixelmetrix President & CEO, explained, "Measuring and monitoring
end-user's true QoE has always been emphasized as the vital key success factor in
quality TV delivery. Given the vast challenges that video services operators face
today, our ECPT offers an indispensable 'post-network' monitoring probe that
measures and reports the end-user's experience towards the delivered video services.
Visualize this: While it is impractical and absurd (and painful!) to implant video
on the eyeball, the ECPT epitomizes the best solution to measure the end-to-end
process in a television delivery chain."

The uniqueness of the ECPT lies in its ability to simulate a human being by
sequentially changing channels on a Set Top Box via an in-built infrared (IR)
control mechanism. Service plan verification through switching channels, recording
measurements on service quality for each channel and eventually reporting it to a
central management console, equips the service provider with an in-depth knowledge
of the end-user's experience. Most importantly, it helps to check whether the
channel is actually available in the first place.

The ECPT takes the raw audio-video output of the STB as its input to make parameter
measurements. It utilizes the decoded signal from a consumer-graded STB to make a
complete and true evaluation of the end-user's QoE. The ECPT also has an Internet
Protocol (IP) interface to report telemetry on various parameters of the protocol
stack, including the transport and IP layers.

At Booth 1.339A, Pixelmetrix will also showcase its new EndGameT, DVShift-S21, Video
ValidatorT, DVStor-Flashback and DVStor-DAS (Direct-Attached-Storage),
DVStation-IP³T, DVStation-MiniT, DVStorIP-GenT, DVB-H and DVB-S2.

Pixelmetrix develops a host of IPTV and Preventive Monitoring systems that offer
unique attributes and versatility, allowing operators to achieve end-to-end
visibility and keep tabs on their network architecture.
