Multimedia Content Consumption in the Context of Digital TV
Journal Title: Revista Romana de Interactiune Om-Calculator - Year 2013, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
In this period ends switchover from analogue to digital TV. At the same time is accelerating the pace of diversifying multimedia resources, facilities offered by the receiving devices and communication technologies transmitting multimedia content. In this context, the factors that influence consumer satisfaction with multimedia content transmitted through digital TV services and, possibly, through the Internet, is an important indicator for the user loyalty to a service provider. In the article we make an analysis of the link between three important concepts in the provision of digital multimedia: QoS, QoE and customer satisfaction. Digital television brings picture quality elements that positively influences QoE. But, if TV service provider not effectively controls the encoding parameters of the video stream and does not allocate sufficient transmission bandwidth, it can lead to degradation of received images, leading to lower QoE and lower loyalty for TV service provider. Another factor influencing QoE is interactivity, and, in this paper, we present a method of selecting important events in the video stream so that they can subsequently be requested on demand by subscribers.
