Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for profiling video output devices. A frameset is received from a video output device. A first characteristic of the frameset is profiled. A focus area within the frameset is identified based on the profile of the first characteristic. A second characteristic is profiled within the focus area. A baseline output profile for the video device is generated based at least on the profile of the second characteristic. The baseline output profile is stored in repository.

Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for assessing video stream quality. The quality of a video stream is classified into one of a plurality of quality classifications including a low quality classification and at least one other higher quality classification. A plurality of video quality thresholds are accessed. If any one of the plurality of video quality thresholds is not satisfied, the video stream is classified as low quality. The characteristics of a video stream frame are computed to satisfy each of the plurality of quality thresholds. A video stream technical score is computed from content of the frame based on and subsequent to satisfaction of the plurality of quality thresholds. The video stream is classified as a specified quality, from among the plurality of quality classifications, based on the video stream technical score.
