The challenge of HLS
The Challenge of HLS
The world of sports streaming has long grappled with the challenge of high latency when using HLS-based segment sports streaming technology. Traditionally, average latency in sports streaming using HLS has hovered around 7 to 9 seconds, significantly impacting the real-time user experience.
Compounding this issue, pricing data feeds that drive sports betting markets move at a much faster pace, typically within 1 to 2 seconds. This discrepancy diminishes the usefulness of video feeds in the fast-paced sports betting environment.
To address this critical challenge, iGameMedia has developed a groundbreaking solution. Our technology ensures a fixed latency of just 2 seconds from source, significantly enhancing the user experience. By narrowing the gap between pricing data feeds and video streams, we deliver synchronised and up-to-date content in real-time.
With our 2-second fixed latency, iGameMedia leads the way in transforming sports streaming, revolutionising how sports content is consumed. Users can now engage seamlessly with live events, make informed betting decisions, and fully immerse themselves in the excitement of the game.
HLS Challenges at-a-glance
- Traditional HLS-based segment sports streaming has 7-9 seconds of latency, impacting real-time user experience.
- Faster pricing data feeds in sports betting move within 1-2 seconds, exacerbating the issue.
- The discrepancy in latency reduces the effectiveness of video feeds in fast-paced sports betting.
The ultra low latency solution
The Ultra-Low Latency Solution
iGameMedia’s partnership with THEO Technologies enables ultra-low latency at scale with HESP (High Efficiency Streaming Protocol). Our solution seamlessly integrates segment-based streaming with existing CDNs, delivering scalable and high-quality performance tailored for InPlay betting users.
Our system incorporates advanced adaptive bitrate streaming, which dynamically adjusts the video quality in real-time for optimal playback. It can adapt to challenging network conditions in just 1/25th of a second.
While our technology is capable of achieving sub-second streaming, we have intentionally implemented a fixed 2-second latency. This deliberate choice maintains synchronisation between the video and market data, enabling users to make precise decisions based on real-time information.
The seamless integration of segment-based streaming, adaptive bitrate streaming, and real-time data delivery ensures optimal quality and responsiveness for users engaged in InPlay betting.
