Abstract
A method of evaluating the quality of a video network is provided. The method including: collecting a first plurality of video frames leaving a video capture device, the first plurality of video frames being transmitted from the video capture device to a video encoder; collecting a second plurality of video frames arriving at the video encoder, the second plurality of video frames being transmitted from the video capture device to the video encoder; comparing the first plurality of video frames and the second plurality of video frames; and determining a fault with the video capture device or the video encoder in response to the comparison of the first plurality of video frames and the second plurality of video frames.

A method of evaluating quality of a video network, the method comprising:
- collecting a first plurality of video frames leaving a video capture device of the video network, the first plurality of video frames being transmitted from the video capture device to a video encoder of the video network;
- collecting a second plurality of video frames arriving at the video encoder, the second plurality of video frames being transmitted from the video capture device to the video encoder;
- comparing the first plurality of video frames and the second plurality of video frames;
- and
- determining, using a video analytics software tool, a fault with the video capture device or network path between the video capture device and the video encoder in response to the comparison of the first plurality of video frames and the second plurality of video frames,
- wherein the video analytics software tool is directly connected to the video capture device, and
- wherein comparing the first plurality of video frames and the second plurality of video frames further comprises:
- determining a video frame lost ratio between the video capture device and the video encoder in response the first plurality of video frames and the second plurality of video frames.
A method of evaluating quality of a video network, the method comprising:
- collecting a first plurality of video packets leaving a video encoder of the video network, the first plurality of packets being transmitted from the video encoder to a video viewing device of the video network;
- collecting a second plurality of video packets arriving at the video viewing device, the second plurality of video packets being transmitted from the video encoder to the video viewing device;
- comparing the first plurality of video packets and the second plurality of video packets;
- and
- determining, using a video analytics software tool, a fault with the video viewing device or a network path between the video encoder and the video viewing device in response to the comparison of the first plurality of video packets and the second plurality of video packets, wherein the video analytics software tool is directly connected to the video encoder,
- wherein comparing the first plurality of video packets and the second plurality of video packets further comprises:
- determining a video packet lost ratio between the video encoder and the video viewing device in response the first plurality of video packets and the second plurality of video packets.
A method of evaluating quality of a video network, the method comprising:
- collecting a first plurality of video frames leaving a video encoder of the video network, the first plurality of video frames being transmitted from the video encoder to a video viewing device of the video network;
- collecting a second plurality of video frames arriving at the video viewing device, the second plurality of video frames being transmitted from the video encoder to the video viewing device;
- comparing the first plurality of video frames and the second plurality of video frames;
- and
- determining a fault with the video viewing device or a network path between the video encoder and the video viewing device in response to the comparison of the first plurality of video frames and the second plurality of video frames,
- wherein comparing the first plurality of video frames and the second plurality of video frames further comprises:
- determining a video frame lost ratio between the encoder and the video viewing device in response the first plurality of video frames and the second plurality of video frames, wherein a video analytics software tool is directly connected to the video encoder.
