Video Streaming: A Complete Guide to Video Delivery: From Network Protocols and Transport to Ingest, HLS, and MPEG-DASH
This decision card sorts a product into live, VOD or near-live delivery by how fresh the content must be and how much delay viewers accept. Volume 2 covers this split in detail: live, VOD and near-live models, the glass-to-glass latency budget, ingest protocols and segment delivery with HLS, DASH and CMAF. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
