Waterloo, ON, Canada, August 19, 2021 – SSIMWAVE®, the Emmy Award-winning video quality solutions innovator, today announced new decode capabilities that are allowing the video industry’s first detection and measurement of viewer experiences in content distributed using the SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) protocol and that they have joined the SRT Alliance, the open-source initiative dedicated to overcoming the challenges of low latency video streaming. 

Using SSIMWAVE Live Monitor, content providers and distributors using SRT can gain unparalleled visibility into the health of cloud-delivered video and audio streams. Leveraging Live Monitor’s ability to proactively detect and correct video freezes, macroblocking and other issues, streaming services can ensure optimal viewer experiences. 

“As more and more streamed experiences move to the cloud, providers need technologies that enable broadcast-level performance and quality,” said Carlos Hernandez, Chief Revenue Officer for SSIMWAVE. “SSIMWAVE Live Monitor’s support for SRT will make it possible for the first time for providers using a leading cloud-based transport protocol to utilize measurement and metrics that are directly correlated to the human visual system.”
