But as usual, our focus is on the future.
We can ask ourselves what the future of streaming video and audio is, if we have something ready to go for or whether we are in the infant stage of this kind of technologies.
We think we are at the beginning of a revolution with enormous potential.
The latest and greatest HTTP live streaming technology introduced by Apple, really frees us from the confines of a sophisticated delivery protocols and expensive servers to do our streaming but is this the answer to all of our needs?
Well, from a content provider’s point of view this is a dream come true since you can encrypt your content. The technology is based on a simple http protocol, so it’s incredibly easy to setup in no time. But what about for the rest of us who want the same quality and streaming capabilities in our apps from client’s point of view?
What if we want to embed an HTTP live streaming into a Windows client app that will do a P2P video chat?
This is one of the cases we can help you a lot; we’ve done loads of work on such kind of products and for the moment we think HTTP live streaming is this single best solution for streaming out there. The simplicity of the Apple approach is just staggering, it’s the hottest streaming technology for the moment and we are very keen on using it. Let’s not forget that almost all new smartphones and OS’s support this type of streaming technology!
