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 programme guide (EPG) navigation, and use of interactive applications.

On the operational side, NDS Dynamic is flexible enough to allow operators to choose which homes report what types of data and on what timeline.

Operators benefit from 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.
  • Protect their investment by ensuring that DVR (time-shifted) viewing does not reduce overall TV rating on the platform.
  • Attract new advertising budgets. Use operator data and proper market segmentation to provide a more compelling case to attract advertisers.
  • Introduce advanced advertising scenarios—such as interactive and addressable advertising—that require STB-level 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 understanding and launching new services such as DVR and HD. NDS Dynamic helps operators know that subscribers respond to their new services and use them.
  • Operators can now manage their channel inventory and available bandwidth. NDS Dynamic helps operators negotiate channel costs and placement based on real viewing numbers.
