Livery

How does Livery compare to Amazon IVS?

If you’re ready to turn your livestreams into an engaging experience that converts, you’ve probably considered Amazon IVS and Livery. But which platform is the better choice to make it happen?

Here are the major differences between Livery and Amazon IVS for interactive live video:

Latency & Sync

Lower your video latency with Livery

Interactivity

Standardised interactions vs. in-house development

Delivery

What’s the experience like as a video host?

If you’ve hosted a live video before, you know how important it is to keep an eye on viewer comments and feedback. You need insights to “read the room” and keep the livestream flowing – and you need them now, not later.

With Livery, you get real-time feedback in the management system or teleprompter (if you have one). Keeping an eye on chat, votes, polls and Q&A in real-time is crucial for succesful live video.
Which the default Amazon IVS setup, feedback into the studio (portal or teleprompter) is impossible. This is because the interaction triggers are included in the metadata of the video, so no server is used for the interactions.

Integration

Livery lets your audience see the livestream closer to realtime

The streaming protocol is what determines how your data is delivered to your audience. The protocol takes your video and breaks it up into pieces to make it easier to send through the internet. The smaller the piece, the quicker it sends.

Livery’s protocol, (ULL-CMAF for those of you that want that detail), can break your video stream up into smaller chunks than Amazon’s protocol, (L-HLS), meaning that your video data is quicker with Livery.
