Eagle Glossary

See: Control Panel. The web-based dashboard where Eagle 3D Streaming users manage their entire streaming setup — uploading apps, generating streaming and meeting links, monitoring active sessions, configuring resolutions, managing team members, viewing analytics, and accessing developer tools.

Eagle 3D Streaming provides an API that allows developers to interact with the platform programmatically — automating session management, triggering uploads, and integrating streaming functionality into external systems or workflows.

The official technical documentation for Eagle 3D Streaming's API, listed as a resource under the Developer Guides section of the E3DS documentation. It provides details on available endpoints and how to interact with the platform programmatically.

Eagle 3D Streaming supports two methods for automating the process of packaging and uploading Unreal Engine applications to the platform: the E3DS Automation Tools Plugin and the E3DS Automation Kit.

A packaged and uploaded Unreal Engine project hosted on Eagle 3D Streaming's platform. Once uploaded, the application is assigned a streaming URL, configured with settings like resolution and CCU count, and made available for end users to access through a web browser.

The process of transferring a packaged Unreal Engine build to Eagle 3D Streaming's platform so it can be streamed. Uploads can be done manually through the Control Panel or automatically using the E3DS Automation Tools Plugin or E3DS Automation Kit.

One of the cloud providers supported by Eagle 3D Streaming for hosting streaming infrastructure. The platform is cloud agnostic, meaning it can deploy across GCP, AWS, Azure, or any cloud provider depending on requirements.

The server-side infrastructure of Eagle 3D Streaming that handles session management, instance orchestration, authentication, API processing, and communication between streaming servers and connected clients.

The amount of data that can be transmitted over a network connection within a given time period. In Pixel Streaming, bandwidth directly affects how smoothly the encoded video and audio feed is delivered from Eagle's cloud GPUs to the user's browser.

The amount of video data processed per second in a Pixel Streaming session, typically measured in Mbps. Higher bitrate means better visual quality but greater bandwidth consumption.

Unreal Engine's visual scripting system, used extensively in Eagle 3D Streaming's developer workflow. The E3DS Features Plugin exposes its functionality as Blueprint nodes that developers wire together without writing raw code.

The process of using Unreal Engine's built-in Blueprint Debugger to trace and inspect Blueprint logic while a remote editor session is actively streaming in a browser.

A compiled and packaged version of an Unreal Engine project, prepared for upload and deployment on Eagle 3D Streaming. A valid build includes all executables, assets, and configuration files, compressed into a ZIP archive.

The settings chosen in Unreal Engine when packaging a project for streaming, such as Development or Shipping. Build configuration affects how the app behaves at runtime.

Eagle 3D Streaming's Pixel Streaming sessions run entirely in the browser — no plugins, downloads, or installations required. Supported browsers include Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, Brave, and Opera.

The display resolution at which a Pixel Streaming session is rendered and delivered to the user's browser. Eagle 3D Streaming recommends 1280 x 720 as the standard resolution, though full HD 1080p and higher are supported.

When all active CCU slots are occupied, any additional users trying to connect are automatically placed in a queue. They are admitted into the streaming session as soon as an existing user disconnects.

A single unit of streaming capacity consumed by one active user session. In Dedicated Mode, every connected user takes up one CCU slot. In Meeting Mode, only the Host consumes a CCU slot.

A feature available through the E3DS Features Plugin that allows users or developers to trigger an in-app screenshot during a live Pixel Streaming session and download it directly from within the browser.
