The Challenge

Device partners had no way to objectively measure whether a screen was hitting the frame rate, latency, refresh rate, and audio/video sync targets that YouTube requires.

The Solution

We designed and built the Playback Analysis Tool. The purpose-built hardware device sits flush against a display and captures real-time playback data from standardized YouTube test content. It delivers a clear, repeatable answer on whether a device meets the standard.
