Continuous Media Evaluation
Through the use of an intuitive on-screen slider embedded in the media player, respondents continuously make adjustments based on how they feel in the moment. An optional hot key button can also be used to register “tune-out,” “buy,” or other action the participant would take during the evaluation. The result is a line graph, broken out by banner segment, and superimposed over the video.
Reporting
Perception Analyzer Online’s Reporting Portal gives you real-time access to your survey and media rating data when and where you need it. Each respondent’s second-by-second data points are saved to the project’s data file, making it easy to access field and data reports, easily create banners, tables and crosstabs right in the portal, or export your data out to Excel, SPSS or most any analytic software tool.
