Resolution

Resolution is the picture quality displayed on a screen (Desktop, Laptop, Mobile, Tablet, Television Screen). Basically, the resolution is measured by the number of horizontal and vertical pixels. Usually, it is mentioned as width x height, with the units in pixels: for instance, “800 × 600” means the width is 800 pixels and the height is 600 pixels.

Images become crisper when resolution increases, because of a higher pixel density. As more pixels per square inch are being displayed, text and images may also become smaller. When you decrease the resolution, the opposite happens; text and images appear bigger but are not as crisp.

In the context of live video streaming, resolution plays a crucial role in viewer experience. Higher resolutions, such as 1080p or 4K, provide clearer and more detailed images, which are especially important for live events where visual quality can enhance engagement. As viewers expect high-definition content, streaming platforms often prioritize delivering high-resolution live video streaming to meet audience demands.

Build vs Buy in Streaming — The True Cost, Time & Scale Reality Checklist
Build vs Buy in Streaming — The True Cost, Time & Scale Reality Checklist

‘Building a streaming platform from scratch gives more control’ is a myth. In reality ‘build’ entails engineering, infrastructure, maintenance, compliance, upgrades, scaling, etc with additional cost barriers and time restraints.

This webinar breaks down the real-world cost, time, and scalability implications of building vs buying a streaming platform, using a practical checklist approach.

The session will help businesses cut through common myths around custom development and understand why many modern streaming businesses choose SaaS platforms like Muvi One to launch faster, reduce risk, and scale globally—without hiring large tech teams.

 

Things the webinar would cover:

  1. What “building” a streaming platform actually involves today (engineering, infrastructure, maintenance, compliance, upgrades, scaling).
  2. The true cost of build vs buy, including hidden and long-term operational costs.
  3. Time-to-market realities like how long ‘buy’ vs ‘build’ realistically takes and the business impact of delayed launches.
  4. Scaling challenges across devices, geographies, and monetization models.
  5. A decision-making checklist businesses can use to assess readiness, risk, and ROI before choosing build or buy.
  6. How SaaS platforms like Muvi One enable faster, lower-risk, globally scalable streaming launches.
