Synchronized video
Ultra-low latency video
Less than 3 seconds latency
Low latency lets users see the content as it happens, not 30 seconds later. Ever heard your neighbours celebrate a point while the ball was still miles from the goal on your screen? That’s latency, and for live content, latency sucks. More importantly, latency this low is opens up a variety of opportunities, especially in interactive video.
You can choose your desired latency: from glass to glass latency of 1-3 seconds up until 10 seconds, depending on your wishes.
By utilising state-of-the-art ULL-CMAF technology and regular Content Distribution Networks (CDN) we offer superior scalability and quality compared to WebRTC, at lower cost. Plus Livery is end-to-end optimised for low latency, meaning that encoder, CDN and player are all fine-tuned for the lowest possible latency.

Ultra-low latency at no additional cost
Our prices compare to traditional, high latency streams without sacrifices in scalability or picture quality.
Start streaming from € 450,-.
Calculate your price and see for yourself:
We can offer Livery for less by using existing infrastructure of the internet. Unlike WebRTC for instance, Livery doesn’t depend on expensive data centers or dedicated cloud infrastructure.
You only pay for what you use, wherever in the world your users may be, without any big commitments or upfronts which are the norm elsewhere.
Synchronized video
The same frame at the same time
While latency is crucial, synchronization often matters even more. That’s why we’ve built an end-to-end solution into Livery that ensures every user sees the same picture at the same time. Regardless of where you are, what device you use, or how fast your internet connection is – there are no discrepancies, cheating, or getting ahead.
We plan to add full encryption to provide peace of mind for even the most sensitive live streams, where unintended early access to information to the wrong people could mean a press conference ruined, a stock price manipulated, or many bets lost.
easy to start, easy to use
Start the magic in minutes
Sophisticated live streaming used to be complex. You had to learn to use and ensure compatibility between encoders, CDNs, players, user authentication, analytics. It’s a wonder anyone found compatible components to operate effectively.
Worry no more – Livery is set up and ready to use in minutes. It’s simple, it’s end to end, it’s easy to start – and if, for whatever reason you stop streaming, it’s just as easy to stop.
All of Livery’s settings and features are managed from a simple web interface with everything you need to prepare, produce, analyze, and monetize your ultra-low latency live interactive video stream.
With Livery you truly only pay for what you use. No fixed license, hidden fees, mandatory service contracts, or obscene pay-as-you-go pricing until you finally give in to year-long commitments.
Architecture
Ultra-low latency live video streaming that scales
Livery is an end-to-end solution built from the ground up to ensure every step in the video chain is optimized to deliver ultra-low latency video at scale. It is the first platform that combines the ULL-CMAF (Ultra-Low Latency) protocol with synchronized and interactive video experiences at no additional cost when compared to regular latency streaming.
As a result, Livery offers you more flexibility, control, and features for truly interactive livestreaming across iOS, Android and Web apps.

ULL- CMAF
Low latency with the use of traditional infrastructure
Chunked CMAF is cost effective, has no scaling limitations, and is compatible with all major CDNs. You can also protect your video by applying any of the common encryption standards.
Traditional HLS & Dash: the encoder has to encode a full segment worth of video before it can be uploaded to the CDN. Next, the CDN delivery adds hundreds of milliseconds on top. Finally, the video player needs another couple hundred milliseconds or so to download the segment. These milliseconds add up.
Livery decouples the segment size from the latency, chopping the video into even smaller pieces called chunks. Instead of pushing entire segments, Livery pushes chunks to the end users, lowering the player’s overall latency and startup time.

What to use?
Livery's ULL-CMAF vs WebRTC
Cost
ULL-CMAF is based on standard video delivery protocols and does not require a special server setup. The price for ultra-low-latency video is similar to the VOD price points, making it about 4-8X cheaper than WebRTC. Livery works with a fixed global price point per GB.
Latency
Our ULL-CMAF is able to achieve a glass-to-glass latency of 1-3 seconds, depending on the location, accommodating 90% of all low latency use cases. WebRTC is a better fit for use-cases where a sub-second latency is required, like video conferencing solutions such as Skype or Zoom.
SCALABILITY
ULL-CMAF is designed as a “one-to-many” solution, able to scale to millions of concurrent users and more than capable of handling spiky traffic behavior.
Flexibility
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 adopted to your ULL-CMAF live stream.
REAL-TIME INSIGHTS
Detailed analytics
Livery collects data from 3 sources: the encoder, CDN, and player SDKs. All data is collected in a Redshift database and powers Livery’s real-time dashboards. Livery provides an in-depth understanding of your audience’s viewing behavior, helping you make real-time decisions and allowing our engineers to quickly provide support whenever and wherever they’re needed.
- Real-time customer stats dashboard
- Aggregated data for player, encoder, CDN:
- Connection speed
- Unique users
- Concurrent users over time
- Video quality
- Devices used
- Users per app/website
- Location based heat-map
- System health checks
direct connection
API access
The Livery API can be used by application developers that are using the Livery streaming solution and want to control the stream from within their own software instead of relying on the Livery webbased management system.
All information needed to get started can be found on the Livery documentation page: https://docs.liveryvideo.com/customer-api
SECURE LIVE STREAMING
Access and security
Security is an important consideration for any livestream. Here are some of the ways we ensure your stream’s security is well organized.
Domain whitelisting
You can easily whitelist one (or more) domains, meaning that only viewers with emails hosted on these domains can access the stream.
Paid access / Secure session tokens
The secure session tokens limit stream access to just the viewers with a valid token. This feature allows you to create exclusive content accessible only to paying viewers.
Stream Key for RTMP/SRT
Protect the video ingest (RTMP or SRT) with a regenerable key to prevent people from illegally overtaking your stream.
CDN Authentication
CDN authentication protects the connection between the encoder and the CDN.
HTTPS
All stream traffic gets directed via HTTPS, so you can rest assured that Livery delivers the stream safely.
InteractiviTY
Integrate interactivity in your live video
Livery’s interactive experiences run directly on top of your live video in perfect sync with the video stream. This integration creates new opportunities for innovative and interactive video extensions, from live statistics and graphics, to live trivia quizzes, betting, shoppable video and auctions.
You're in good company
