STREAM VIDEO

The possibilities of the Internet today allow you to organize streaming video in real time. This is the content that users of the resource receive from the provider in the same way that viewers receive continuous broadcasting in digital or analog format. The main problem of organizing streaming is data compression and buffering in such a way that:

• on the one hand, reduce the load on the network, allowing many users to connect simultaneously;
• on the other hand, to minimize errors in the transfer of content.

Realize streaming multimedia allows solutions from the company AVADA MEDIA. We offer turnkey, highly customizable solutions implemented on the principle of SaaS – Software as a service. The client can use devices with low performance for streaming on the Internet – processing, buffering and video streaming are carried out by special software on a separate server.

Thanks to this, the viewer does not have to wait until the video is fully downloaded – it is loaded as it is viewed in real time, which allows direct broadcasting.

For the organization of streaming broadcasting, two main methods are used. The first is sequential. In this case, the file is played from the usual web server of the provider. The advantage of this method is a higher image and sound quality. However, at the same time, the user cannot navigate within the same clip, since its buffering also occurs sequentially.

In real time. This method is more advanced, but requires the organization of a streaming video broadcast server. Suitable for transferring video files of considerable duration, as it simplifies navigation. The user can view the video from the desired location. At the same time, it is possible to add special tags by which the viewer can navigate. This method of transmitting streaming video is used for streaming, as well as for broadcasting from a web camera or capturing a screen. AVADA MEDIA company offers turnkey solutions for broadcasting real-time video for various fields of activity.

The video streaming server uses a special protocol for transmission. Today, several protocols are used, which are applied depending on the needs.

Commonly used protocols are MPEG-DASH, RTMP, RTSP / RTP, HLS. For example, the HLS protocol, or HTTP Live Streaming, was developed by Apple and is used for iOS and OS X operating systems and the Safari browser. It is based on the principle of breaking the media stream into small fragments, which are then downloaded via HTTP.

The continuous and endless (if necessary) video stream allows you to create live broadcasts and transfer videos. All metadata about individual nested streams is contained in a downloadable playlist. The MPEG-DASH protocol, which is the first international standard in this area, works in a similar way.

The video format always attracts more attention than any other. People perceive information much better when watching videos. And the live broadcast in real time causes your viewers a sense of ownership. In addition, there are areas in which the use of streaming video on the site is dictated by practical considerations.

For example, education – using the solutions provided by AVADA MEDIA, you will significantly expand the possibilities for organizing distance learning. Listeners of a lecture or webinar can communicate in real time, comment, ask questions, share information by broadcasting a screen.

And all this without the slightest delay, because the streaming video server processes and buffers the stream so that hundreds of users can connect to the broadcast simultaneously.

Video streaming will be useful in marketing for organizing interaction with clients, in PR and politics when organizing online press conferences, in sports – for broadcasting competitions in exotic sports, including cyber disciplines. Streaming video is the future of the Internet, the possibilities of which are constantly increasing. AVADA MEDIA solutions bring this future as close as possible.
