2021: Selection of Elecard Bor Monitoring System and StreamEye Studio Analyzers

On September 23, 2021, Elecard announced that Electronic Arts, a representative in the field of digital interactive entertainment, chose the Elecard Boro monitoring system and StreamEye Studio analyzers to ensure the best quality live broadcasting.

EA regularly broadcasts e-sports tournaments and events on various OTT platforms, such as YouTube and Twitch. To identify errors and fix problems during the live broadcast and analyze the encoded video in detail, Electronic Arts integrated the Boro monitoring system and StreamEye Studio applications into the process of producing video content.

Elecard Boro is a client-server application consisting of 2 parts: software probes and a server that collects and processes statistics. Elecard Boro is used for one-time monitoring of 50 UDP or HLS flows. Boro probes are installed on cloud platforms after encoders. Probes monitor all faults in real time, which helps engineers make weighted decisions during the broadcast. In addition, probes were installed in partner CDN to monitor content delivery and insert regional ads. Elecard Boro is used to monitor 50 channels. Boro allows you to monitor quality at points located in different parts of the world, collecting data in one centralized place.

We face daily challenges in organizing a fully virtualized live broadcast. Elecard Boro has become an integral part of our work, allowing us to fix problems before viewers notice them, and make important decisions in conditions of lack of time. " said Ben Bradshaw, head of broadcast network management at Electronic Arts.

Elecard StreamEye Studio is a set of applications for professional video quality analysis that allows you to detect errors in the encoded stream, optimize video compression and verify compliance with standards. Electronic Arts uses StreamEye to verify compressed video formats MPEG-2, AVC and HEVC. In the case of a completely remote and virtualized process of video content production, there are many situations when it is necessary to encode and decode video several times before it. distribution StreamEye helps to accurately evaluate each compression-decompression cycle and measure the quality of decoded frames.

If we see any deviations from the norm, we can easily identify the most problematic cycle and make adjustments. We are very pleased that we can now evaluate the compression methods used and configure the equipment with such a high degree of detail, shared by Ben Bradshaw.

Elecard solutions allow Electronic Arts to quickly assess the state, compliance, and integrity of flows from anywhere in the world. 30 engineers of the Competitive Gaming Entertainment team use Elecard products in their daily work, both when conducting tests and when broadcasting live. One of the main qualities of products is the ability to work together in a team and share data.
