Probo SDK

What is Probo SDK?

Software development kit designed for implementation of distributed QoS and QoE monitoring systems designed for continuous control of transport flows and quality of encoded content.

Expand your monitoring system

Easy incorporation of software probes into your encoder/transcoder/muxer or existing fault management system

QoS Measurement

Ways whether the network can provide better service to selected network traffic through various underlying technologies

Create your own custom solution

Powerful set of tools and components to create a reliable Fault Management System on your own

QoE Measurement

See how you can adjust your streaming to improve the overall acceptability of your service, as subjectively perceived by the end user

Powerful toolkit

The Elecard Probo SDK package includes: software probes, server sample, and documentation. QoS and QoE software probes can be installed at any delivery network point; they detect flow errors and send all the information to the aggregation server. A simple sample of server software illustrates communication between applications. The Probo SDK API describes in detail the programming interface of client-server applications, which helps develop the system meeting any requirements.
