Video: The Quest for Low-Latency Live Video


A great discussion from Streaming Media East discussing the battle to achieve Low-Latency Live Video by speakers from BAMTECH, Limelight and Red5Pro.In this session, learn about the pros and cons of various technologies on both the contribution and delivery side of lowlatency streaming, including small chunk size HLS/DASH, WebRTC, WebSockets, QUIC, SRT, and CMAF:

  • What does ‘Low Latency’ mean? Realtime? Are Cable & TV low-latency?
  • How do you synchronise OTT with Data and TV
  • Where is latency introduced? Which buffers have the biggest impact?
  • How can you fight rebuffing and which metric is the most useful?
  • Pros and Cons of WebRTC
  • How to stream 4K/VR?
  • Plus Q&A

Video: Reducing Latency & Startup Times


Low latency and fast startup times are KPIs for most streaming video producers, particularly for live events. In this talk from Streaming Media west, you will learn how to achieve the low latency live streaming.
David and Jun show the importance of measuring startup time, latency, and network overhead and with Jan Ozer, they show you how to get latency down by:
• reducing fragment sizes, using hybrid fragment sizes;
• specifying first variant retrieved;
• controlling the number of fragments retrieved before playback starts;
• and opening a persistent connection between player.

You’ll learn the most effective strategies for minimizing startup time and latency without swamping your network with additional HTTP requests, and what you’ll need to do to implement them in your encoding and delivery workflows.
