About

Elecard Boro is a professional software solution for real-time video stream health monitoring and Quality of Service (QoS) & Quality of Experience (QoE) tracking across distributed networks. Designed for broadcasters, OTT providers, and IPTV operators, Boro utilizes distributed software probes to instantly isolate quality degradation across the entire delivery chain. How it works: Probes analyze UDP, RTP, HTTP, HLS, DASH, SRT, and RTMP streams up to UHD. Multi-point measurements are aggregated on a centralized server, providing instant alerts for ETSI TR 101 290 errors via Email, SNMP, Webhook, PagerDuty, and Telegram. Key Features: • Rapid Start: Deploy probes on any hardware in 10–30 minutes • Deep Diagnostics: Tracks 50+ QoS/QoE parameters, SCTE-35 ad cues, and captures PCAP streams • Smart Dashboards: Visualizes service states and captures stream thumbnails • Easy Integration: Access via an intuitive web interface and integrate using WebHook, SNMP, and ControlAPI

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • The Elecard Boro Probes significantly boost situational awareness by enabling real-time monitoring of numerous feeds simultaneously. This holistic view allows for a quick overview of all probes, making it easy to identify and delve into the ones exhibiting issues. The email alerting feature is particularly beneficial, as it swiftly draws attention to any problems, ensuring that prompt action is taken to resolve them. This level of immediate awareness and responsiveness is invaluable in maintaining high operational standards and ensuring the continuous delivery of high-quality broadcast content.
  • I am thrilled to share how essential continuous monitoring is for live sporting events. Distributed monitoring is incredibly effective for overseeing signals at the network's border and handing them over to clients. With increased insight into the performance analysis of our transport streams, our TOC team uses the system 24/7 to monitor IP Transport streams (UDP and RTP); from time to time, we also direct SRT monitoring. The probe functionality allows quick identification of specific events and their root causes through event search and root cause identification, which is critical in live broadcasting. One of the standout features is the ease with which new probes can be deployed. This flexibility is particularly advantageous for global networks and the events we work on worldwide, allowing for quick and efficient scaling of monitoring capabilities. The Elecard team provides prompt and helpful support, ensuring smooth operations at all times - from server selection to installation settings.
  • Easy to setup, good support and competitive business model. SSO integration for access control. The only cost effective solution we found to monitor all our streams in HLS + Dash, Encrypted + FTA, at six different steps in our workflow.
  • - Lots of features for monitoring and analyzing transport streams at remote sites. - Detailed customization options for specific needs. - Integrated TS recording. - Customizable alarm plans. - Stable. - Fair pricing.

IPTV Monitoring Supported

Elecard Boro is a dedicated, software-based IPTV monitoring solution designed to ensure high-quality live TV distribution across IPTV and OTT operator networks. Operating on a scalable client-server architecture, Boro deploys probe instances across multicast IP networks and OTT edge points to continuously analyze hundreds of SPTS and MPTS channels in real time. The platform tracks critical IPTV metrics, including (but not limited to) Transport Stream syntax, ETSI TR 101 290 priorities, SCTE-35 ad insertion markers, and HLS/MPEG-DASH manifest integrity. Featuring a centralized web interface, real-time bitrate graphs, and multi-user access management, Boro gives IPTV engineers full control over headends and delivery legs. Automated alerts notify NOC teams instantly upon signal loss, PID drops, or stream freezing, ensuring high service availability, streamlined subscriber QoE, and seamless integration into automated workflows via API.

Network Monitoring Supported

Elecard Boro is a professional, client-server software solution for real-time network monitoring across distributed media delivery infrastructures. It enables broadcast engineers, operators, and network operations centers (NOCs) to maintain continuous visibility over multi-segment networks, including edge nodes, headends, and cloud environments. By deploying lightweight software probes across local and remote points, Boro collects real-time stream metrics, measures network performance, and instantly detects signal drops, packet loss, and transmission anomalies. Automated alerts, intuitive web console, and detailed analytical dashboards help engineers simplify network diagnostics and reduce downtime. With support for major transport protocols (SRT, UDP, RTP, HLS, DASH) and flexible API integration into existing management pipelines, Elecard Boro ensures reliable end-to-end network health monitoring for IPTV, OTT, and digital TV networks of any scale.

Elecard Boro is an engineering-grade software solution built for fast root-cause analysis and real-time troubleshooting across video transport networks. Boro is designed to accelerate incident response in complex broadcast and OTT environments: it deploys distributed software probes that continuously analyze live streams for packet loss, jitter, buffer underflows, and protocol errors. When stream degradation or outages occur, the system pinpoints the exact network segment at fault, minimizing mean time to repair (MTTR). Comprehensive error logging, EBU R 128 loudness charts, timestamp gap indicators, and frame thumbnail histories provide complete visual evidence for rapid diagnostics. Supporting SRT, UDP, RTP, HLS, and MPEG-DASH, Boro automates failure notification via webhooks, email, and SNMP traps. Elecard Boro empowers NOC and engineering teams to isolate transport issues, verify redundancy failovers, and maintain uninterrupted content delivery.

QoE/QoS Monitoring Supported

Elecard Boro is an advanced software platform designed for simultaneous Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) monitoring across OTT and digital television networks. By auditing both video transport parameters and actual user-perceived video quality, Boro helps video providers deliver stable streams and meet high quality standards. The system monitors key QoS metrics, such as bitrates, TR 101 290 errors, packet loss, and stream continuity, alongside QoE factors including silence, freeze frames, black screens, and audio loudness compliance (EBU R 128 / ATSC A/85). With customizable test profiles, interactive analytics dashboards, and automated alert systems, engineering teams can detect visual degradation before it impacts viewers. Deployable on-premise or in private clouds, Elecard Boro delivers actionable insights, automated reporting (PDF/CSV/JSON), and full API control for end-to-end quality assurance.
