Red5 TrueTime DataSync™
Telemetry data, ball trajectories, or weather conditions. Provide the data customers need as they need it.
About
TrueTime DataSync™ enables synchronized delivery of real-time metadata alongside live video streams. Built on Red5 real-time streaming infrastructure, it ensures telemetry, annotations, statistics, alerts, and other data appear with frame-level accuracy, exactly when viewers need to see them.
Whether used for live sports, surveillance & monitoring, production workflows, or interactive applications, TrueTime DataSync™ keeps video and data perfectly aligned, creating more informative and engaging real-time experiences. From live player statistics and sensor telemetry to collaborative annotations and operational alerts, it provides a flexible framework for delivering synchronized information at scale.
The platform integrates seamlessly with other TrueTime Solutions™, allowing organizations to combine video, data, monitoring, and interactivity into a unified real-time workflow.
