Real-time streaming with media players

Amino selected Red5 for its ability to provide on-premises deployment, enhanced security and monitoring capabilities. Many real-time streaming providers don’t allow customers to deploy on their own hardware, and this is a major limitation with other live streaming providers. Red5 offers on-prem support and the ability for the customer to deploy on their own cloud tenants with Red5 Pro, and Red5 also offers a fully hosted usage based solution called Red5 Cloud. Additionally, Red5 developed custom solutions for server-side mixing, enabling multi-view functionality on low-resource media players with a single subscribed video. Unlike competitors, Red5 offers unparalleled deployment flexibility and an in-house consulting practice to build custom features, ensuring adaptability for various infrastructure needs.

How It Works: Red5 and Amino Media Players

Red5 fully integrated a new player for Amino’s Android platform, optimized for real-time streaming with hardware decoding and fine-tuned for maximum performance. This powerful integration extends beyond performance optimization.

Red5 and Amino work together to simplify large-scale deployments. Amino’s advanced Remote Device Management platform, Orchestrate,   streamlines the setup process by pre-configuring devices for network connection and automated setup, reducing operational costs and deployment errors. 

Amino Orchestrate device management also enables in-life management of large estates of devices. Through this cloud platform, users can connect to any device in the deployment, see a remote view of exactly what is live on-screen and view advanced analytics data. Users can run diagnostic testing, run network speed tests and download logs directly through their browser.

Use cases that benefit from the Red5 & Amino real-time streaming solution

The Red5 & Amino live streaming solution is perfect for applications whose revenue depends on minimizing the window between video or audio streaming and real-time events. To get a feel for how it will look to your end users, visit the Red5 demo.

Here are a few scenarios where the Red5 & Amino solution excels:

Unlike HESP streaming used in retail or HLS streaming in security and surveillance, Red5 offers a superior WebRTC solution that goes beyond what these traditional methods can achieve.

Why should you use the Red5 & Amino solution?

Choosing the right solution for your real-time streaming needs is critical to optimizing performance and costs. Here’s how the Red5 and Amino integration delivers unmatched advantages:

1. Lower operational costs
   Reduce long-term streaming expenses with on-premises deployment. For even greater cost efficiency, opt for cloud deployment, which is already more affordable than other options. Reduce operational costs by enabling zero-touch provisioning and remote device management with Amino’s Orchestrate platform.
   
2. Receive and send multiple streams with media players
   While Amino streaming media players support  HLS, HSP and WebRTC streams played in the built-in browser or web view, Red5 and Amino have taken a more integrated and performant approach. By leveraging Red5’s native Android integration on the Amino H200, we optimize media player performance with less jitter, enhanced picture clarity and unparalleled latency. Combined with Red5’s server-side mixing technology, we enable customers to receive multiple input streams and deliver optimized outputs for multi-view rendering on the Amino H200. For example, with this solution the customer can mix 24 real-time streams into a single WebRTC stream for the media player. This approach moves the work from the media player device to the server allowing for virtually any number of streams in a grid for live monitoring and dynamic fan engagement experiences.
   
3. Deliver video, audio in real-time
   Red5 ensures sub-250 millisecond latency for video, audio, and data streams, enabling real-time interactions. Whether it’s live surveillance, secure transactions, or synchronized betting experiences, this ultra-low latency creates opportunities to react and engage faster than ever before.
   
4. Robust, reliable & secure
   Regardless of your use case, a robust, reliable and secure platform is essential for operational efficiency and to ensure that your platform is protected against the increasing prevalence of cyber attacks. Amino hardware has a long reputation for quality and reliability. Amino’s approach to security by providing frequent OS updates and maintaining the Android platform to the latest security patch levels guarantees customers that they will always benefit from the global network of android security researchers and the rapid patching of any vulnerability.
   
5. Earn more revenue
   Real-time streaming with Red5 opens up revenue-generating opportunities, especially for industries like retail betting. For example, our ultra-low latency solution reduces the betting window downtime, allowing last-second bets and decisions. This not only increases customer engagement but also boosts the total handle, driving more revenue for betting shops. The same principle applies to other sectors, where every millisecond gained can translate into more transactions and a stronger bottom line.
   

Conclusion

Red5’s integration with Amino redefines streaming media players performance, enabling ultra-low latency broadcasting designed for real-time applications on a high quality, robust and managed media player. From stadiums and surveillance systems to retail and betting shops, streaming video and audio with under ¼ second delay unlocks new possibilities for engagement and revenue. By deploying on-premises, reducing operational costs and optimizing multi-stream capabilities on resource-limited devices, Red5 and Amino together deliver a superior streaming experience tailored for organizations that need real-time performance.
