Your one-stop shop for interactive live video

Livery is an end-to-end video solution built from the ground up. We’ve optimized every step in the process to ensure we always deliver ultra-low latency live video that scales with ease.

Livery offers more for less. It is the first platform that combines the ULL-CMAF (Ultra Low Latency) protocol with synchronized and interactive video experiences – all while maintaining a competitive price point with the slower (higher latency) streaming options already on the market.

The bottom line: Livery offers you everything you need to stream interactive live video in one place. Get more flexibility, control, and features for truly interactive livestreaming across iOS, Android, and Web apps at no added cost.

Livery is end-to-end optimized for low latency and interactive livestreaming.
The encoder, CDN, and player are all fine-tuned to ensure the lowest
possible latency for live interactive experiences.

ULL-CMAF

Reach an audience of any size, anywhere in the world. By utilizing state-of-the-art Ultra-Low Latency
CMAF technology, Livery can offer superior scalability and video quality (up to 4K with 120fps) compared
to other low latency solutions, like WebRTC, at a lower cost.

Cost

How can we offer more for less?
ULL-CMAF is based on the known video delivery protocols and does not require a special server setup. The price for ultra-low-latency video is therefore much cheaper than other solutions (for example WebRTC).

Latency

Live video in (just about) real-time. ULL-CMAF reaches a glass-to-glass latency of 1-3 seconds, depending on the location, accommodating 90% of all low latency use cases. For comparison, standard latency is between 6-9 seconds.

Scalability

Reach your audience of any size, anywhere in the world. ULL-CMAF is designed as a “one-to-many” solution, able to scale to millions of concurrent users and handles spiky traffic behavior with ease.

Flexibility

Superior compatibility. ULL-CMAF is based on the known video delivery protocols DASH and HLS, which means that video features used for VOD content, like DRM or advertisement insertion, can be adapted to your ULL-CMAF live stream.

What is CMAF, how does it work and what are the benefits.

HARDWARE & CLOUD

Livery Encoder

The Livery encoder is built from the ground up to provide the highest video quality with the lowest possible latency, all in perfect sync. Based on your needs Livery can provide an on-prem encoder or a cloud encoder–both provide full support for scaling, transcoding, transmuxing, and adaptive bitrates (ABR).

Wondering what a video encoder is?

For all platforms

The Livery player

The Livery Player delivers everything you need: premium quality, flexibility, and security. It is optimized to develop your low latency interactive video project straight out of the box.

Livery player

The player is easily integrated in a matter of minutes and comes with a built-in interactive layer. Launch on any platform using iOS, Android, or Web SDK and benefit from:

  • Adjustable target latency
  • Syncing mechanics to make sure that all players see the same video frame at the same time
  • The best available video quality based on the end-users device and internet connection (as selected by the smart ABR algorithm)
  • Domain whitelisting and player token authentication
