Metrics built into the codec

VMAF-E

VMAF-E reduces the resource load with an AI-based, lightweight algorithm optimized for real-time operation while also excelling at video-on-demand. With up to 10x faster performance than VMAF, it provides immediate, frame-level and session-summary quality scores with minimal system overhead.

VMAF-CUDA

GPU-accelerated version of the VMAF video quality assessment algorithm. It allows VMAF calculations to be performed on NVIDIA GPUs, leveraging their parallel processing capabilities to significantly speed up the process.

VMAF

Video Multimethod Assessment Fusion
VMAF, developed by Netflix, uses human vision modeling to predict video quality based on how people actually see and experience it, helping optimize streams for viewers.

PSNR

Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio
PSNR measures the quality of compressed images or video by comparing original signal strength to noise, with higher values (in dB) indicating superior fidelity.

SSIM

Structural Similarity Index Measure
SSIM evaluates how visually similar two images or videos are by focusing on structural changes that affect perceived quality.

Where vScore excels

live-streaming
Live Streaming

Continuously monitor, report, and optimize perceptual quality with near-zero latency. From dynamic sports broadcasts to large-scale events, ensure every frame meets broadcast standards in real time.

video-on-demand
Video on Demand

Simplify and accelerate your quality control pipeline. vScore eliminates the pain points of post-process VMAF calculations—no decoding, no sync issues, just precise, synchronized measurement even when editing or preprocessing your content.
