Optimizing Encoding for VoD

CUSTOMER'S CHALLENGE

Faulty encodings in videos 
Available tools showed whether a video met standards or was damaged, but did not help the customer understand errors. The technical team required a sophisticated solution that would allow them to examine video at a deeper level and visualize all encoded parameters with precision and clarity.

ELECARD SOLUTION

Implementation of Elecard StreamEye Studio tools into the video analysis workflow to perform deep analysis of streams and find violations. StreamEye Studio is a set of powerful software tools for video quality analysis designed for professional use in video compression, processing, communication and streaming media industries.

The customer uses Elecard solutions to analyze MXF, MOV, MP4 video files. Eight engineers use StreamEye Studio tools to perform GOP analysis (length, structure, I-frame IDR frequency), check bitrates, buffer, frame scan type, video standard compliance, timestamps and other parameters.

RESULT​

• Enhanced Error Detection
  Encoding engineers can now effectively localize and identify errors, significantly reducing the occurrence of faulty encodings in their video content. The wide range of video analysis parameters provides the ability to quickly find out what was wrong with the encoded files and fix it. 
   
• Immediate Productivity
  The user-friendly and intuitive interface helps quickly familiarize with the tools and start working immediately. Elecard provided a valuable online training session, giving the customer a thorough overview of the features most relevant to their specific application needs.
   
• Optimized encoding parameters
  With StreamEye Studio, the customer now sets up transcoding profiles according to specifications and compares different encodings to find the right parameters for the best efficiency, leading to improved video quality and performance.

Feedback

"We were looking for a tool that would allow us to look deep into the video essence and visualize all encoded parameters. After our research, Elecard StreamEye Studio seemed very suitable to support our DevOps and video specialists in their work.

We like the clear presentation in the user interface and the wide range of video analysis options. The procurement of the solution was quick and easy. The online training with Elecard engineers, who gave us an overview of the features we would like to use for our application, was also good."
