The data includes five important parameters outlined by the Streaming Video Technology Alliance video start failure, time taken to start the playback, rebuffering, playback error, and stream quality. Additional data points provided by QoX include what version of the application viewers are running, the CDN being used, video resolution, zapping time, network bandwidth compared with player bandwidth, and more. In addition, QoX offers seamless integration with complex monitoring systems and datamining solutions, providing operators with access to real-time raw data and pre-processed graphs.
VO QoX is also compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation, which is a legal requirement in Europe and sets a legal framework for handling personal information.
