How do I run a performance test?

Benchmark the device you want to run your EVVR Container on and find out how many streams it can support.

Updated over 4 months ago

If you want to get a picture of exactly how the EVVR Container will run on your own hardware, we now have a benchmarking performance test you can run.

How do I do this?

  • If you have not already installed the device on the hardware you wish to test on:

    • Install the encoder on the device you wish to test.

    • Log into the device using the password "Password", it will then take you through a wizard to change this and localise the device.

  • Once on your encoder's dashboard, click the Performance navigation item.

  • You will be presented with a page that gives you some information about your device. At the bottom, there is a section called Outgoing encoding, which contains a box titled Want to know what this device can do? In this box, click Run test.

  • A pre-test screen will be presented. This is to warn you that the rest will run for around 15 minutes and that you will not be able to use the encoder's features while it is running. The test can be cancelled at any time. Click Start test to continue.

  • Once the test begins, you will be presented with a page showing how far the test has progressed. (If you get logged out at any point, the test will continue and you will be returned to it upon logging back in.)

  • Upon the tests completion, it will present a summary of the tests that have been run. This output should give you some real-world guidance about how many streams your device can support.

  • If you wish to save or share these results, there is a section at the bottom of the page that allows you to download a PDF or CSV with the results.
