Streaming Architectures for Live Content
Streaming Architectures for Live Content Live content demands speed and reliability. A practical streaming architecture covers the path from the capture device to the viewer’s screen. The goal is to keep latency low, quality steady, and reach large audiences without outages. A simple map helps: capture, ingest, encode, package, deliver, and play. Ingest and transport Publishers send the feed to an encoder over RTMP, RTSP, or SRT. SRT helps on unstable networks, reducing packet loss. For real-time needs, some workflows use WebRTC for direct ingest to the media stage. Security, authentication, and failover should be built in, so a backup ingest path can take over if one link fails. ...
