How Do You Get Ultra-Low Latency with WebRTC? As we’ve covered before, WebRTC (Web Real-time Communication) is currently the best way to get ultra-low latency in video streaming. We’ve also mentioned – quite a few times– that Red5 Pro’s WebRTC implementation results in sub 250 ms of latency. That feature enables fully interactive live-streaming, making… Continue reading 7 Ways WebRTC Solves Ultra-Low Latency Streaming

Scalable WebRTC Is CPaaS Game Changer
The pandemic-accelerated shift to pervasive reliance on cloud-based video communications has transformed the outlook for communications platforms-as-a-service (CPaaS) providers who want to seize new opportunities within and beyond their core business markets. This new perspective stems from the fact that it’s now possible to implement video-based communications that go far beyond the capabilities of the… Continue reading Scalable WebRTC Is CPaaS Game Changer
Debunking the Myth: 8 Reasons Why WebRTC is Capable of High Quality Audio and Video Today
For anyone pursuing new opportunities in the real-time interactive video arena, there’s a lot riding on understanding that there doesn’t need to be any constraint on audio or video quality when WebRTC serves as the underlying streaming protocol. When talking with developers evaluating the Red5 Pro platform, we hear over and over again that WebRTC… Continue reading Debunking the Myth: 8 Reasons Why WebRTC is Capable of High Quality Audio and Video Today
5 Factors in Choosing Low-Latency HLS vs WebRTC
When it comes to deciding between low latency HLS and WebRTC, which protocol delivers the best live streaming experience? Since the protocol determines how quickly the encoded video data will be transported across an internet connection, the decision of which one to use is very important. Wowza recently published an article that contains misinformation about… Continue reading 5 Factors in Choosing Low-Latency HLS vs WebRTC
IP Camera Live Streaming: Connecting RTSP to WebRTC
So you have your webcam or IP camera all hooked up and ready to begin streaming video. Now you just need to figure out how people can watch it. Ideally, it should be simple and universally available; like an internet browser. Unfortunately, most IP cameras are RTSP based which is not natively supported in internet… Continue reading IP Camera Live Streaming: Connecting RTSP to WebRTC
RTSP vs. WebRTC: Which to use for a Mobile App
When we were designing the architecture for the Red5 Pro Mobile SDK, we had some critical early choices we needed to make. One of the biggest was what protocol we should base it on. After some initial research and experimenting, we decided on RTSP. But why did we choose RTSP and not WebRTC? The choice… Continue reading RTSP vs. WebRTC: Which to use for a Mobile App
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
Scaling Challenges in WebRTC Live Streaming 1:1 != 1:1,000,000 When it comes to WebRTC, size matters. 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?
YouTube recently announced the implementation of “Ultra-low latency”. Not only is this something that Red5 Pro added a long time ago (last October, in fact, but it’s also just plain wrong. 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?
