WebRTC Latency By The Numbers
Sydney to Boston is quite a ways to travel; 10,091 miles in fact (or for those that enjoy a more logical measurement system: 16,239 km). Despite that, our end to end WebRTC latency still holds steady at 500ms (give or take a few hundredths) That’s 20,182 miles per hour or 32,478 kilometers per hour (I’m… Continue reading WebRTC Latency By The Numbers
Non-Drowsy Statistics
Stats. Don’t worry. We’re not dragging out your high school math teacher. We’re talking about fun statistics! OK. Well, important ones at least. Many people don’t realize that there’s a whole lot of data about the status of WebRTC streams readily available and (this is the fun part) all it takes is a single JavaScript… Continue reading Non-Drowsy Statistics
Guest Post: Tsahi Levent-Levi – WebRTC Scaling Challenges

People have this assumption that if you can run a 1:1 video call then getting to a 3-way video call is just as easy. And well, if that’s the case, then 4-way video call shouldn’t be far behind. And… Continue reading Guest Post: Tsahi Levent-Levi – WebRTC Scaling Challenges
YouTube Low-Latency Streaming: Is “Ultra-low” fast enough?

We call shenanigans! Let’s start with the definition: Ultra: going beyond others or beyond due limit: extreme YouTube’s approach boasts an “ultra-low” latency of… Continue reading YouTube Low-Latency Streaming: Is “Ultra-low” fast enough?

Red5 Pro Video Tutorials
It’s estimated that about 65% of the general population are visual learners. In a visual learner’s brain, words are converted into pictures (the opposite is true for auditory learners). With this in mind, we are excited to introduce an ongoing series of video tutorials! These guides, along with all our documentation, will demonstrate a variety… Continue reading Red5 Pro Video Tutorials
HLS: Because Apple Doesn’t Like Sharing
Jetpacks have been a mainstay for starry-eyed dreamers and futurists for a long time. Despite the occasional story from some engineer a-la stunt-double, that potential continues unrealized, a mere daydream of all those frustrated commuters stuck in traffic. At Red5 Pro, we’re also focused on the future and strive to build it (albeit more concretely).… Continue reading HLS: Because Apple Doesn’t Like Sharing
