Live Streaming Latency: A Glass to Glass Analysis

The term “Real-time live streaming” is a hot topic in the broadcasting industry and often is a bone of contention between the enablers and the broadcasters. That few seconds of latency during a soccer match can be a real excitement-killer if there is a variation in the concurrent live streams received by the viewing devices. 

Latency in live video is not an unconquerable problem. But multiple factors play a part and need to be considered to reduce latency even by 1-2 seconds. 

In this whitepaper, you will learn 

• Factors that cause live video latency
• Which step adds to how much latency in the end-to-end live streaming workflow 
• Exclusive findings of a latency test conducted by AWS, the cloud partner of Muvi.
