Mixed Signals Sentry Wins a TelcoTV 2009 Vision Award

Sentry is Recognized as Best Solution in "Test and Measurement" Category
LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
The award-winning Sentry content monitoring solution from Mixed Signals, the
leading provider of digital content monitoring solutions, received another
industry accolade yesterday when it won a coveted TelcoTV 2009 Vision Award for
the best "Test and Measurement" solution.

Mixed Signals` Sentry is a content monitoring solution that enables cable
operators, satellite providers and telecom carriers to catch and eliminate video
and audio errors in the TV services they deliver, thus ensuring that viewers
enjoy an exceptional quality of experience (QoE). Sentry was recognized in large
part for its new Audio and Video QoE Scoring System, which allows service
providers to accurately determine the severity of video and audio glitches as
they occur and how much these errors affect viewers` QoE.

The TelcoTV 2009 Vision Award is just the latest award for Sentry, which has won
several other prestigious industry awards, including most recently a 4 Diamond
ranking in the Broadband Gear Report`s annual Diamond Technology Reviews.
Mirroring its awards success, Sentry has been deployed by leading video service
providers nationwide, including nine of the 10 largest U.S. cable television
operators.

"Video service providers are competing fiercely and recognize that QoE is a key
competitive advantage in both signing up and retaining the subscribers they`re
fighting so hard for," said Eric Conley, CEO of Mixed Signals. "The TelcoTV 2009
Vision Award illustrates the importance that video service providers place on
QoE and, further, it shows that industry experts recognize Sentry as a superior
technological solution for ensuring an exceptional QoE."

Sentry`s Audio and Video QoE Scoring System takes into account human visual and
auditory responses to gauge a subscriber`s frustration level over video and
audio impairments. The real-time, 24/7 system detects, tracks and reports
serious video errors, such as video tiling, black and frozen screen,
simultaneously in literally hundreds of compressed HD and SD programs. This
unparalleled analysis allows service providers to determine the errors that
require immediate attention to preserve subscriber satisfaction.

Mixed Signals has also recently upgraded Sentry with the ability to identify
audio volume issues in programming and commercials across an entire programming
line-up, giving video service providers the critical information necessary to
quickly fix dramatic volume changes that occur during channel changes and when
commercials run. This new capability is particularly timely as proposed
legislation is now before Congress that would require video service providers to
address this pressing issue. The Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation
(CALM) Act would require video service providers to ensure that commercials not
be any louder than the average volume of the programs they accompany.
