Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: receiving a video signal value associated with at least one parameter associated with a first internet protocol (IP) packet including encoded video content, the video signal value being based on data extracted from a header associated with the first IP packet; receiving an audio signal value associated with a second IP packet including encoded audio content; and automatically calculating, using a processor, a media-quality-value based on the received video signal value, on a video quality equation, and on the received audio signal value, the calculating being performed without decoding the encoded audio and video contents, the video quality equation including the at least one parameter and at least one constant, the at least one parameter and the at least one constant are defined so that the media-quality-value calculated based on the video quality equation substantially correlates with a subjective quality measurement, the at least one parameter including a bandwidth parameter.
