BigBand SVA: The Industry's Most Advanced Tool for SDV
The BigBand SVA (Switched Video Analysis) is the industry’s most advanced tool for SDV and broadcast video applications. Offering advanced monitoring, optimization and planning capabilities, BigBand SVA enables operators to quickly add new services while maintaining the highest service quality.
With innovative “What-If Scenarios” and Lineup Optimizer features, customized reporting and easy-to-configure dashboards, BigBand SVA is the ideal viewership and performance analysis tool—especially when used in combination with BigBand’s industry-leading SDV solution.
Together these products offer operators’ fast and economical bandwidth expansion to support new revenue-generating services (including HD and 3D over IP) with greater visibility into the performance and utilization of their networks
Comprehensive end-to-end viewership and performance analysis tool
Simulate Predictive “What-If Scenarios”
BigBand SVA helps operators respond to rapidly changing network needs with innovative “What-If Scenarios” simulations. Operators can run these simulations to understand the impact of adding QAMs, splitting service groups, moving channels to or from their SDV lineup and more—before committing time and resources. Such predictive analysis improves network operations, performance and capital efficiency.
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 PatternsPrior 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 LineupsOnce 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 PerformanceOnce 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. |
