Q

What is VAM and How Does it Work?

VAM

VAM (Video Audience Measurement) captures video consumption from linear television, OTT services and online viewing on all devices and platforms. By holistically measuring what is being consumed by demographic, market, device and platform, the media industry will be able to understand and compare the value of investment in both linear and digital video and identify the consumer video journey and trends.

The first iteration of our Video Measurement solution, VAM is comprised of our Television audience measurement panel (TAM) fused to our digital panel recruited for the Ontario and French Quebec provinces. Television consumption of our panelists is measured passively with the help of a personal meter (PPM) that captures inaudible codes within the TV audio signal. Whereas digital video consumption of our panelists is measured with the help of a meter attached to the household’s router and designed to capture monitored video sites consumption and encoded video content. Census digital data is used to calibrate digital consumption, providing scale to digital measurement and identifying out-of-home content consumption. Using sophisticated tools and modeling methods, Numeris fuses together viewing data from our television and digital panels resulting in true video Cross-Platform unduplicated audience consumption.
