Video Recording for Usability Testing with VALT

Benefits of VALT for Usability Testing

IVS offers an inexpensive and powerful digital video solution for usability testing — the VALT video system. VALT gives companies fine-tuned control over how they record usability testing, plenty of storage space, and such a shallow learning curve that little training is required to get started.

High-Quality Video and Audio

VALT integrates with lightweight IP cameras, either fixed or pan-tilt-zoom, and microphones for HD 1080p video quality. Any number of combinations of cameras can be grouped in a room or multiple rooms.

Scalability

VALT is a browser-based application, making it a highly accessible platform built for easy scalability; each server can handle 15,000 hours of high-def video and unlimited streams.

HDMI Encoder Integration

The software integrates seamlessly with third-party encoding hardware. This allows us to capture content from different sources such as computers or tablets and automatically pair it with video cameras.

Scheduler

A built-in scheduler allows users to schedule recordings in advance or set up repeating schedules so the system automatically records the usability testing sessions on the desired days and times.

Full Developer API

Our software comes with a full REST API allowing customers and resellers to extend the reach of our video platform

Security

Data us secure with extensive user rights management, authentication and state-of-the-art encryption,

Off-site Recording for Usability Testing

Companies often wish to conduct testing off-site at remote locations. To facilitate this we have created the Beam application. Running on a tablet or smartphone, the Beam app records remote testing sessions then automatically loads them up to the main server when the operator returns. Because VALT cameras and microphones are so portable, virtually any remote site can be turned into a usability testing lab.

Usability testing is a powerful tool for companies, as it gives them direct input on how real users react to a product or service. it also helps companies measure the capacity of the product to meet its intended purpose.

How can IVS audio/video solutions enhance our data collection and analysis during usability testing sessions?

VALT can significantly improve your usability testing process by allowing you to record testing sessions with high-quality video and audio. Our VALT system ensures you capture every detail, from the user's facial expressions to the sound of their voice. This enables you to capture valuable insights, user reactions, and feedback that might be missed during live observations. By creating a comprehensive video library of your usability tests, you can easily access and analyze the data at any time, helping you make informed decisions about your product or service.

Can we easily search and sort through our usability testing videos?

VALT's efficient tagging system allows you to add relevant information and notes to each video session. This makes sorting, categorizing, and searching your video database easy, saving you valuable time and effort in your analysis process. You can quickly find specific sessions based on criteria like product version, user demographics, or test scenarios, relieving you of the tedious task of manual sorting.

How does VALT integrate with other hardware and software tools we use for usability testing?

VALT uses HDMI encoders, to capture display content from any device with an HDMI output and automatically stream and record the display output side by side with the in-room video cameras. By synchronizing the user's screen with their facial expressions and body language, you can gain a holistic understanding of their experience with your product or service.

Can we conduct usability testing sessions remotely and still record them with VALT?

IVS offers the BEAM application, which runs on tablets and smartphones, and enables you to record remote testing sessions with ease. BEAM automatically uploads the recorded sessions to the main server when the operator returns, ensuring all usability testing data is centralized and accessible.

How much storage space does VALT provide for our usability testing videos?

VALT offers ample storage space for your usability testing needs. A typical installation provides storage for over 16,000 hours of high-definition video. This means you can maintain an extensive library of testing sessions without worrying about running out of space. Plus, the entire system is highly scalable, making it suitable for companies of all sizes.

How does IVS ensure the security and privacy of our usability testing data?
