How Do I Choose the Best Streaming Media Server?

Streaming media refers to the form of media used to stream audio, video, and multimedia files over the network. Compared to the form of network playback viewed after downloading, the typical feature of streaming media is to compress continuous audio and video information and put it on a network server. Users can watch while downloading without waiting for the entire file to be downloaded. Because of the superiority of streaming media technology, this technology is widely used in video-on-demand, video conferencing, distance education, telemedicine and online live broadcast systems. As a sign of a new generation of Internet applications, streaming media technology has developed rapidly in recent years.

3. High fluency <br /> Integrates HTTP, TCP, UDP (SUDP, RUDP) and gateway penetration module (UDP penetration and RPNP penetration) and global IP table, has extremely high data transmission and reception speed and single machine connection Number, which greatly guarantees the video playback quality under various definitions.
4. Broadcast-grade high-definition < br Supports multiple streaming protocols and encodings during live broadcasting, and can use high-definition and standard-definition code streams to achieve broadcast-level effects, including high-definition video formats including wmv / asf / wma / mp3 / rm / rmvb / flv and so on.
5. Complex network environment self-adaptation Adopt dynamic node adjustment strategies covering global IP table, operator's regional IP segment table, and support gateway penetration at all levels and gateway mapping for internal and external networks. At the same time, UDP and TCP transmission adaptive mechanisms are adopted. When UDP transmission is not available, it automatically switches to TCP transmission to ensure connectivity.
6. Client and CDN automatic storage <br /> viewers: The cache settings will automatically store the video and audio clips that have been viewed for P2P sharing to reduce the bandwidth pressure of operators.
Operators: Through the central video resource library, according to the click-through rate of on-demand server viewers, it automatically downloads popular video files for P2P distribution.
