As online gambling bookmakers explore ways to break out of an increasingly crowded field, all roads are leading to transformations in the betting experience that rely on real-time video streaming technology. Like any new market going through the hockey stick phase of growth, the internet-hosted sports betting and casino gaming market has ignited a competitive stampede that makes it ever harder for providers to reach profitability. That’s why the past year has witnessed a surge in new approaches to drawing bettors’ participation. But most such efforts have been constrained by the latencies and unidirectional limitations imposed by traditional streaming…

Cutting-edge tools used in extended reality (XR) and video game development will soon become far more effective at enabling creators to speed production and delivery of the realistic user experiences markets have been clamoring for. Groundbreaking innovations in Epic Games’ Unreal Engine live streaming production tools have made photorealism the new benchmark in the development of animated applications. Notably, advances like real-time ray tracing, densification of micro-polygon geometries, streamlined aggregation of visual effects (VFX), batch rendering of multiple camera inputs, and accelerated encoding bring stunning levels of realism to user experiences. The Real-Time Infrastructure Imperative But to fully exploit the…

Red5 Pro recently teamed up with NVIDIA to discuss cloud-based virtualized user testing for pre-release games at the online 2022 GDC conference. The tools, part of the GeForceNow Developer Platform, allow developers to run remote playtest sessions with multiple users, tracking not only game play, but visual streams of the gamers themselves. The partnership highlights Red5 Pro’s commitment to the gaming community and to our goal of distributing content “at the speed of thought.” Attendees at GDC got another peek at this future via the interactive hybrid conference platform presented by Eventuall and StageConnect, both of whom utilize Red5…

Two Solutions Built for End-to-End Success Videon’s EdgeCaster…

Today we are excited to finally announce what we’ve quietly been working on for the last few years. Red5 Pro has taken a major step into the bioengineering field. Pairing our passion for and expertise in ultra-low latency content delivery with the scientific principles underlying mycorrhizal networks, Red5 Pro has developed the ability to rapidly transmit carbon matter over long distances. The early promising results reflect the possibility of delivering carbon matter of any sort, but we are particularly interested in the transmission of food without delay to anywhere in the world. The technology has potential implications for the…

Technology is continuously advancing towards remote interaction, especially since the beginning of the COVID era. As we grow more used to communicating with each other in virtual meeting rooms, it is becoming clear that interactivity is key to a successful and engaging live streaming application. This is why our team began working on a  Watch Party example to show how Red5 Pro’s software can be used to interact with online content—and with each other—in a more natural way. What is a Watch Party? A watch party is a main video stream paired with a group video chat…

For tech companies to thrive in today’s fast-moving arena, it takes an awareness of the past, a firm grounding in the present, and an eye on the horizon.

Chris Allen: I'm the CEO and co-founder. What don't I do? I'm primarily focused on the overall direction and vision of the company. Right now that includes closing deals and working on investment. I get my…

Red5 Pro’s Experience Delivery Network (XDN) introduces a new functionality: the ability to create a mixed live stream that includes the audio and video of other live streams. Mixer nodes, a new XDN node type, create mixed streams based on a visual layout that can be dynamically updated in real time. Mixers enable users to create large compositions with hundreds of live streams or video conferences with a single return stream. For video conferences, Mixers are coupled with a mix-minus audio engine that provides participants with a mix-minus audio stream of their conference track. Read on to understand how…

The emergence of real-time interactive streaming has created a field of dreams for developers who can innovate with the same alacrity they’ve come to expect in the traditional streaming environment. For many if not most developers, whether the fast track to commercialization will remain open in the real-time streaming era hinges on the answer to a simple question. Will they be able to continue exploiting the open-source GStreamer platform with the flexibility, speed, and scalability that has made it the go-to multimedia framework for innovation over the past few years? GStreamer’s open-source framework provides vendors a common approach…

Amazon Web Services has partnered with Red5 Pro to open a groundbreaking shortcut to the future by enabling immersive extended reality (XR) and other interactive video experiences associated with the Metaverse to be delivered over first-generation 5G networks. This vast range of possibilities was widely deemed to be dependent on implementations of the more advanced version of 5G known as 5G Standalone Architecture (SA), which most mobile network operators (MNOs) have yet to undertake. Now such capabilities can be brought to life through activation of Red5 Pro’s Experience Delivery Network (XDN) platform on facilities in the Wavelength Zones that…
