Case Study: Sencore achieves high-reliability video transmission with Klocwork Insight

Ensuring High-Reliability Video Transmission with Static Analysis

Sencore, a supplier of signal-transmission solutions for TV stations, satellite TV and IPTV, faced the challenge of ensuring 24/7 high-reliability video decoding across many bespoke products and large amounts of third‑party C/C++ code. Complex codecs and varied edge cases made memory leaks, NULL dereferences and concurrency bugs especially dangerous for downstream video quality and uptime.

Sencore replaced its incumbent analyzer with Klocwork Insight, running nightly analyses on a dedicated server and benefiting from an unlimited-lines licensing model that fits their many codebases. The tool integrated with their build infrastructure, surfaced critical defects in both in‑house and third‑party code, reduced recurring developer mistakes through actionable reports, and gave the company confidence to speed time‑to‑market; Sencore plans CI integration and deeper checks to continue improving security and reliability.
