Not sure I understand the point of this. Is it to lessen loads from the distributing servers or the actual broadcaster? I can't see how this would help a broadcaster at least.
- malikNF 9y agoNetwork costs I am assuming. Wonder how bad the latency is going be though?
- aroch 9y agoIt doesn't really matter all that much if some viewers of a live stream are ~30-60s behind others. Heck, ESPN's online offerings can have 2-3minutes of lag. As long as this isn't used for real-time chat / video conferencing, there's really no need for super low latency
- yeukhon 9y agoWell real-time is often not a requirement like radio talk show there's often a 7-10 seconds delay before next audio is emitted (usually to beep on inapprioiate lanuage) But being able to have most viewers watching the same frame almost simultaneously would be awesome.
- hacksonx 9y agoBut what about spot betting during a sports game?
- jgh 9y agoIt uses HLS or DASH so the latency should be no worse than through a CDN since those systems are already quite delayed compared to RTSP or some other more immediate protocol
