EBU LIST

EBU LIST (Live IP Software Toolkit) is the EBU's open-source analyzer for uncompressed IP media. Upload previously captured network packets as pcap files and quickly see whether your streams are compliant with the SMPTE ST 2110 suite, then drill down on each individual stream to understand the details, all from a server you control.

Key features

• Quickly check whether your streams comply with ST 2110
• Per-stream analysis of video timing, audio timing and ancillary data
• Drill down into each stream to understand compliance in detail
• Stream comparison, audio/video delay and PTP analysis
• Browser-based web UI with per-user logins
• Co-located MongoDB, InfluxDB and RabbitMQ bundled inside the appliance, no external database or broker to run

Use cases

• Broadcast and media-over-IP engineers validating ST 2110 uncompressed flows
• Facilities and integrators troubleshooting timing, audio and ancillary data compliance
• Labs and QoE teams that want to own their analysis data instead of a hosted tool

Why run it on the NetActuate edge Hosting EBU LIST in a PoP near your capture points shortens the path for large pcap uploads and keeps your captures, measurements and analysis history on infrastructure you control.

Getting started Deployed from the NetActuate marketplace, EBU LIST boots pre-configured from your seeded values: the full stack (listserver + MongoDB + InfluxDB + RabbitMQ) comes up on first boot and the admin user is registered headlessly, so you can sign in at /login on port 80 right away with the admin email you chose and the admin password from your secret list. Analyses persist in the co-located MongoDB and InfluxDB volumes.

Note: EBU LIST is shipped unmodified from upstream (ebutech/pi-list v2.2.3). Live packet capture is disabled by default (it needs a hardware-timestamped NIC and PTP); the appliance analyzes uploaded pcap files out of the box. For public use, put a TLS-terminating proxy on a real hostname in front of port 80.
