3Q is an API-first video infrastructure for developers and engineering teams who want direct control over their media backend. A REST video API and native player SDKs give you programmatic access to hosting, ingestion, encoding, live streaming, video-on-demand, and delivery, so you can build video portals, streaming apps, or OTT backends on a single European platform. The stack is transparent by design. 3Q supports adaptive bitrate streaming over HLS and DASH with mixed HEVC and AVC codecs and automatic Live-to-VoD. Delivery runs over a proprietary global CDN, encryption, and HTTP/2 over TLS 1.3. The Cookie- and Consent-free HTML5 Video Player is barrier-free in accordance with WCAG 2.1/BITV 2.0 and needs no consent layer. Video AI exposes speech-to-text transcription, automatic subtitles, translation, and chapter markers through the same API, and integration fits your existing pipeline and video workflows. What sets 3Q apart is ownership. 3Q runs on its own independent European video infrastructure, so your data stays in the EU and under German jurisdiction. 3Q is GDPR-compliant and all processes are ISO/IEC 27001 certified, with modular pay-as-you-go pricing and 24/7 support from real video experts.

Elecard Boro is a professional software solution designed to monitor video stream health and track QoS/QoE parameters across distributed networks. By providing centralized access to statistics and automated reporting, Boro enables telecom professioals to build a powerful monitoring ecosystem from scratch or easily scale existing infrastructure to ensure flawless broadcast quality. How it works: Boro utilizes distributed software probes to monitor UDP, RTP, HTTP, HLS, DASH, SRT, and RTMP streams. By aggregating multi-point measurements on a centralized server, operators can instantly isolate quality degradation across the entire delivery chain. The platform provides network-wide visibility and real-time alerts for ETSI TR 101 290 errors via Email, SNMP, Webhook, PagerDuty, and Telegram. Key Features: • Rapid Deployment & Scalability: Launch a monitoring probe in just 30 minutes. Easily scale your infrastructure by adding new probes to the unified Boro ecosystem on any hardware. • Proactive Issue Resolution: Monitor over 50 QoS and QoE parameters (including full ETSI TR 101 290 compliance) and use triggers to localize network anomalies before they impact viewers. • Advanced Diagnostics: Use comprehensive analysis of SCTE-35 ad-insertion cues and PCAP stream recording for in-depth delivery troubleshooting. • Effortless Integration & Access: Access monitoring data from any device via an intuitive web interface. Seamlessly integrate Boro into your existing workflow using WebHook, SNMP, and ControlAPI. • Operational Efficiency: Reduce the workload on QA and network engineers through automated regular reporting, advanced visualization dashboards, and smart threshold tuning that eliminates false alarms.
