Live streaming remains a key factor for success in the world of Over-The-Top (OTT) media. While many viewers enjoy Video on Demand (VOD), live streaming is irreplaceable for breaking news and major sports events. However, ensuring seamless live streaming during such critical moments can be challenging. Many live events suffer from buffering and interruptions, causing a significant loss of audience.
At KWIKmotion, the complete Online Video Platform (OVP) by White Peaks Solutions, we've developed an innovative approach to deliver fast, reliable, and scalable live streaming solutions. Here's how we achieve this:
Robust Input Signal Configuration
The foundation of high-quality live streaming starts with a well-configured input signal. We utilize modern protocols such as Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) to ensure that the signal is transmitted efficiently and securely. For critical live events, we gather input from multiple sources, providing redundancy to prevent any single point of failure.
Diverse Geographic Ingestion
To enhance reliability, we ingest the signal through different equipment to various encoders located in multiple geographic locations. Each location is equipped with a hotswap setup, ensuring continuous operation with zero downtime. This geographically redundant setup makes our system incredibly robust.
Real-Time Stream Packaging
Once the signal is transcoded in real-time at these diverse locations, we package it immediately. This stream is then made available on our mid-tier cache servers, which are geo-redundant and have an active-active setup. This means that our Content Delivery Network (CDN) can serve the streams as static files, eliminating the wait time usually associated with packaging.
Optimized Latency and Network Performance
Our specialized setup on the packagers ensures minimal latency. By optimizing the network paths and reducing overhead, we ensure that data packets are transmitted swiftly without delay. This method prevents network congestion and guarantees that the stream is delivered smoothly to the end user, resulting in a seamless and enjoyable viewing experience.
Security and Reliability
Security is a top priority in our live streaming solutions. Our use of modern protocols like SRT not only ensures efficient transmission but also provides robust security features to protect the integrity of the stream. Additionally, our redundant and geographically dispersed infrastructure minimizes the risk of failure, ensuring a reliable streaming experience.
At KWIKmotion, we understand the importance of live streaming for significant events. Our advanced approach ensures fast playback, high-quality streaming, and unparalleled security. If you have an important event and need a reliable live streaming partner, we are here to assist you and guarantee successful delivery.
