An open-source, interoperable transport protocol designed for reliable, low-latency video contribution and distribution over the public internet
Secure Reliable Transport is an open-source video streaming protocol and technology used to transmit high-quality video and audio streams over unreliable or unpredictable networks, such as the public Internet. SRT was developed by Haivision, and it has gained widespread adoption in the broadcast and streaming industries due to its focus . . . Read more
Producer Reference Time (PRFT) is a concept introduced in the context of LL-DASH. The PRFT supplies times corresponding to the production of associated media. Among other benefits, this information (i) provides media clients with information to enable consumption and production to proceed at equivalent rates, avoiding possible buffer overflow or . . .

Low-latency HTTP Live Streaming (LL-HLS) is an extension of the HLS protocol designed to minimize latency in video streaming. While both LL-HLS and HLS are based on similar principles and share many features, the key difference lies in their focus on reducing latency.
Low-Latency Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (LL-DASH) is an extension of the MPEG-DASH protocol designed to minimize latency in video streaming. While both LL-DASH and DASH are based on similar principles and share many features, the key difference lies in their focus on reducing latency.
High Efficiency Streaming Protocol (HESP) is an adaptive HTTP-based video streaming protocol with a particular focus on low end-to-end latency and fast channel-change.
Event Message (emsg) boxes are often used to carry proprietary metadata since no standardised methods include a latency timestamp.
Factors impacting client-side latency in ABR-based streaming.
Quick UDP Internet Connections (QUIC) is a UDP-based transport layer network protocol. HTTP/3 uses QUIC to achieve performance enhancements (e.g. simpler handshakes, multiplexing) such as lower latency media streaming.
