Red5 Pro offers two distinct mixer (MCU) solutions tailored for advanced video and audio processing. Both mixers integrate with the Red5 Pro server, offering the option to choose the best-suited solution for your specific streaming needs. Whether opting for the native processing prowess of the Brew mixer or the web-based adaptability of the CEF mixer, these tools are available to enhance real-time streaming experiences.

The Brew mixer utilizes the Cauldron Media Engine, providing native support for video mixing into the Red5 Pro server environment. This engine facilitates dynamic video and audio mixing capabilities controllable via a REST API. Complex layouts can be created and mixer controls can easily be integrated into other applications.

In contrast, the CEF mixer utilizes a headless Chromium browser environment to achieve versatile video and audio mixing functionalities. This approach uses the flexibility of web technologies, allowing the use of browser-based tools for creating sophisticated video layouts.
