Audience Measurement

How NDS Dynamic™ helps operators

NDS Dynamic Audience Measurement solution provides second-by-second reports on viewer interaction with set-top boxes (STBs) including linear TV viewing, time-shifted viewing (DVR or Video-on-Demand), electronic program guide (EPG) navigation, use of interactive applications.

On the operational side, it also enables operators to determine which homes, what data and when to report back.

How operators benefit

Improved advertising carriage and sales. With NDS Dynamic, pay-TV operators can collect data on how ads are viewed on their platform. They can also:

  • Ensure ads are delivered and measured correctly even on niche channels.
  • Make certain that DVR (time-shifted) viewing does not reduce overall TV rating on the platform.
  • Attract new advertising budgets. Operator data and proper market segmentation provide a more compelling case to attract advertisers.
  • Introduce advanced advertising scenarios—such as interactive and addressable advertising—that require accurate measurement.
  • Create commercial agreements that provide viewing data to advertisers.

New business intelligence. NDS Dynamic provides pay-TV operators with an intelligence tool that increases the effectiveness of their marketing and operational efforts. This means:

  • Upsell new services and reduce churn by better understanding existing subscribers and the ability to target new subscribers.
  • Hands-on approach to launching new services such as DVR and HD. NDS Dynamic helps operators know where they have succeeded and where there is room for improvement.
  • Operators can now manage their channel inventory and available bandwidth. NDS Dynamic helps operators make more informed content negotiation and channel placement decisions based on the popularity of any channel carried on the platform.
