What's New in Elecard StreamEye Studio 2026

StreamEye Studio 2026 is a major update to our comprehensive video analysis toolkit. We've focused on boosting performance, expanding analytical capabilities, and enhancing user experience. The improvements span both the platform as a whole and each individual tool within the suite.

General Improvements to Elecard StreamEye Studio

• Migration to Qt 6 framework. The platform upgrade delivers a more modern, responsive, and visually refined interface. Enhanced design of controls, fonts, and menus improves usability and comfort during daily work with the product.
• Full macOS compatibility. Resolved the app verification issue on macOS, ensuring quick and seamless installation on Apple devices without additional security settings.
• UI localization into Mandarin Chinese.

Key Product Updates

Elecard StreamEye

• Support for APV video codec.
• HDR Vivid identification and metadata display.
• Improved AV1 analysis. Added Switch Frame indication, additional OBU metadata presentation, and extended statistics.
• Enhanced buffer analysis experience:
  - Panel synchronization: Moving the cursor on the Buffer graph is now synchronized with the corresponding frame display in BarChart and Stream Viewer panels. Analyzing frame-related data across multiple panels has become faster and easier.
  - Data aggregation: All buffer entry data is now consolidated in a single table for comprehensive analysis.
  - Buffer fullness indication for the current cursor position.
  - Support for AV1 buffer analysis.
• Capability to open HLS master playlist and select a rendition for further analysis of its chunks.
• Significantly increased calculation speed. VMAF library update and multithreading mode for HEVC decoder have substantially accelerated quality metric calculation and HEVC stream analysis.

Elecard Video Quality Estimator

• Complete engine redesign. The product has been fundamentally rebuilt and now offers a new level of performance and usability.
• Expanded comparison capabilities. You can now analyze up to 5 compressed or uncompressed files simultaneously (instead of 2 compressed and 1 uncompressed previously).
• Capability to open HLS or MPEG-DASH manifest and select a certain profile for analysis of all related segments.
• Significantly increased calculation speed. VMAF library update and multithreading mode for HEVC decoder have substantially accelerated quality metric calculation and HEVC stream analysis.

Elecard Stream Analyzer

• Support for APV video codec.
• HDR Vivid identification and metadata display.
• Improved Bitrate graph: You can now set the analysis window size to 10, 100, 250, or 500 ms for precise microburst and anomaly detection.
• Extended stream information. The tool now displays additional video data (chroma format, scan type, GOP structure and length, bitrate, color primaries, etc.) and audio data (bitrate mode and value, language).
• PID display for each error, enabling quick identification of the problem source. Added error filtering by service, PID, or tables.
• Numbering of TS packets and PID indication for each packet, providing maximum detail during analysis.
• Optimized parsing algorithms,resulting in faster stream analysis.
• Capability to open HLS or MPEG-DASH manifest and select a profile for further analysis of all segments.

Elecard YUV Viewer

• Accelerated metric calculation with VMAF library update.
• New rotation feature. Added video frame rotation capability, useful when working with non-standard orientation video.
