BigBand SVA: The Industry's Most Advanced Tool for SDV

The BigBand SVA (Switched Video Analysis) tool is the industry’s most advanced tool for SDV and broadcast video applications. Designed to enable advanced monitoring, optimization and planning capabilities, operators benefit from being able to quickly add new services while maintaining the highest service quality.

As operators look to aggressively expand content packages via additional channel line-ups, and supporting richer formats such as HD and 3D over IP delivery methods, BigBand’s SDV solution along with advanced tools like BigBand SVA offer customers’ fast and economical bandwidth expansion to support new services with greater visibility into the performance and utilization of their networks.

Statistics Collection and Analysis Benefits

The BigBand SVA platform benefits operators at all critical stages of switched digital video deployments. It is designed to provide the metrics needed to improve efficiency of video networks and to reduce operating expenses. It gathers metrics that allow operators to make informed decisions about program expansion and network design and helps operators determine where to roll out new programming and advertising to increase revenue and improve viewer satisfaction and engagement.

Insights into Traffic Patterns

Prior to installation, operators must assess which programs in their broadcast lineup are the best candidates for SDV. BigBand SVA allows the operator to collect viewership statistics for available programming and identify niche programming, also called ‘long tail content’.


Optimizing Program Lineups

Once the deployment begins, an operator can use SVA to monitor both switched and broadcast programming in near real-time to measure channel popularity, and identify additional long tail content best suited for SDV.


Managing Infrastructure Performance

Once the installation has been completed, SVA monitoring can be extended to a broad range of performance and reliability metrics to optimize network utilization, and for service assurance purposes. SVA is designed to identify trends, such as unanticipated viewership changes, that can impact system performance and content delivery before they impact subscribers.
