Why choose Surfmeter Player SDK?

It delivers advanced analytics designed to optimize streaming performance.

Real-Time Data Collection

Track streaming quality in real-time, giving you instant feedback on performance without waiting for post-event reports. Proactively address issues like buffering and video quality degradation before they impact user experience globally.

Comprehensive Quality Metrics

We cover essential KPIs such as startup time (time to first frame, or initial loading delay), bitrate and resolution. You can use advanced indicators like the P.1203 Mean Opinion Score (MOS) to judge overall viewing experience. Our SDK delivers a complete view of streaming quality, including initial buffering, stalling, quality changes/resolution switches, and more.

Multi-Codec Support

Seamlessly supports modern codecs like H.264/AVC, H.265/HEVC, VP9, and AV1, ensuring flexibility in your encoding strategies across different platforms and devices.

Resolution and Framerate Tracking

Monitor shifts in video resolution and analyze the distribution of resolutions. See the number of quality switches during playback and understand how network conditions affect the user experience.

Correlate and Aggregate with Device/ISP Data

See distributions of operating systems, device types, and ISPs, in addition to the quality metrics above.
