Fora Soft Video Engineering Handbook
This worksheet walks the eight boxes of a streaming pipeline and records a build, buy or assemble call for each. Our seven-volume handbook covers every box: Volume 2 on ingest, packaging, HLS and DASH, Volume 1 on encoding and transcoding, and Volume 3 on CDNs, players, DRM and delivery economics, so the trade-offs behind each call are clear. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
Deciding which parts of your streaming pipeline to build and which to buy?
Send us your requirements and current vendors: we come back with a build, buy or assemble call for each pipeline box and a cost and timeline estimate. 250+ video products shipped since 2005.
