What Hold Back High-Quality Media Experiences

Fragmented device ecosystem makes it difficult to ensure consistent AV quality across all models and platforms.

Network variability across regions impacts reliable streaming performance and user experience.

Lack of actionable insights delays the detection and resolution of AV performance issues.

Inability to test DRM-protected content increases the risk of playback failures and non-compliance with licensing standards.

Manual testing across diverse devices increases costs and slows down release cycles.
