POC Findings Report Template

1. POC Overview

• Title:
• Date Range:
• Owner / Team:
• POC Objective: (Restate the goal as originally defined)
• Summary: (One-paragraph overview of what was tested and why)

2. Environment & Setup

• Hardware Platform: (e.g., Broadcom 7252S, Amlogic S905D3)
• Middleware Version: (e.g., Metrological Lightning SDK v1.7)
• Broadcast Input: (DVB-T/C/S stream parameters, modulator setup, etc.)
• OTT/Hybrid Components: (HbbTV version, DASH stream profile, etc.)
• Test Tools Used: (Oscilloscopes, logging tools, test apps, Wireshark, etc.)

3. Execution Summary

• Test Cases Executed: (List or reference a test case document)
• Key Integration Points: (Middleware APIs, DVB stack hooks, HLS manifest parsing, etc.)
• Configuration Files / Scripts: (Attach or reference Git repos, if version-controlled)

4. Results

• Technical Findings:

  • Feature performance (e.g., EPG rendering time, zap time)
  • Error conditions observed (e.g., AIT parsing failures, buffer underruns)
  • Interoperability outcomes (e.g., issues with CA modules, HDMI CEC failures)

• Metrics vs. Targets:

  Metric	Target	Actual Result	Status
  Boot time (cold)	< 10s
  HbbTV app load time	< 2s
  DRM license acquisition	< 1s

5. Limitations

• Known Issues / Bugs: (e.g., memory leak in middleware, unresolved jitter)
• Unsupported Scenarios: (e.g., only validated on 720p, no DRM stress tests)
• Assumptions Broken: (e.g., CDN had unexpected latency spikes)

6. Conclusions

• Summary of Success / Failure Points:
• Technical Risks Identified:
• Learnings: (Architecture mismatches, unexpected middleware behaviors, etc.)

7. Recommendations

• Proceed to next phase / pilot?
• Suggested modifications or redesigns
• Vendor feedback needed?
• Middleware updates required?
