INSIDE ASIAN GAMING NOVEMBER 2018 52 iGAMING BLUE PAGES iGAMING IN DEPTH THE ADVANTAGES OF NANOSTREAM CLOUD & H5LIVE PLAYER LATENCY Interactive Live Streaming requires ultra-low latency, meaning around one second glass-to-glass. Several live streaming applications often ignore this and create latency values of 10 seconds or more. Newer technologies can keep the latency as low as one second around the world, even onmobile devices, addressing new players and creating new opportunities. In live streaming, latency is influenced by all components in the workflow: the camera/encoder, upstream network, streaming server, downstream network or video player on the player side. However, the biggest challenge to reduce latency lives in the downstream network and in the player side. nanoStream Cloud & H5Live Player were developed to truly minimize the latency for interactive use cases such as iGaming. By having full control over your workflow, nanoStream Cloud avoids issues caused by mix and match of vendors and technologies that could increase latency. At the same time, H5Live Player is based on the unique protocol H5Live, which ensures ultra-low latency of around one second all over the world. This combination gives you a bullet-proof live streaming workflow for your live casino. With the development of HTML5-based technologies, the experience of a live game remains interactive and now available on any smartphone, tablet or desktop.
