Wowza Streaming Cloud With Ultra Low Latency
The Wowza Streaming Cloud service now offers a premium Ultra Low Latency feature. Wowza Streaming Cloud with Ultra Low Latency combines a powerful developer toolkit; enterprise-level stability and uptime; and tools for building interactive capabilities, with sub-three-second latency for audiences of any size. This revolutionary service and API delivers high-quality, ultra low latency video at a global scale for creating tomorrow’s streaming experiences.
Secure Reliable Transport
Wowza Streaming Engine supports the ingest of streams via SRT (Secure Reliable Transport)—an open-source technology designed to help you deliver high-quality, secure and low-latency video. SRT accounts for packet loss, jitter and fluctuating bandwidth, maintaining the integrity and quality of your stream.
Low-Latency Formats and Protocols
Wowza supports nearly all common encoding formats and streaming protocols—many of which can be used to achieve low-latency streams. The format and protocol that are right for your use case depend on your scalability, interactivity and endpoint-compatibility needs.
Traditional Streaming Protocols
Traditional streaming protocols such as RTSP and RTMP can be used for low-latency streaming, but they don't scale well, and are not natively supported on all endpoints (e.g., iOS devices). They work best for streaming to small to midsize audiences from a single media server.
HTTP-Based Adaptive Streaming Protocols
Protocols such as HLS, HDS, HSS and MPEG-DASH work well for streaming to large audiences on a wide range of devices at once, and are easily scalable. They can be tuned for low-latency delivery, but not ultra-low latency or real-time streaming, so they aren't well-suited for two-way and chat.
Emerging Technologies
Emerging technologies, such as the WOWZ protocol, SRT and WebRTC, are designed for near-real-time audio, video and data delivery—even over less-reliable connections. These technologies are easily scalable, and are ideal for use cases that require high degrees of interactivity and playback quality.
