Live streaming workflow has simplified setup and now streams browser-based video to multiple platforms
Ant Media offers many features that depend on the version you choose. When using the beginner and professional versions, those features are related to your payment plan. When using a beginner or lower level, the features involve streaming data, FPS, data file from the image, image resolution, image quality, and other components you need to send from WebRTC to Ant Media. Those configurations are available in Ant Media and show how you want to send those media to YouTube. These are the best features, but you need to pay more to get better functionality or better resolution. When using a development level, such as dev, UAT, and production environments, while testing, you do not have all the features and you do not have higher quality when sending the data. When you pay more and have a paid version of Ant Media, they will provide you with the best quality for how you want to send the data to YouTube or elsewhere. This is the basic principle: when you pay more, you receive better resolution. Ant Media is configurable from the web using WebRTC. If I want to do a live streaming project, I would have to create a Flutter application on Android or iOS, but with Ant Media, I can integrate from the browser itself. I only have to pass the Ant Media endpoint API to a Chrome browser from WebRTC. It is easily configurable, and my organization works on live streaming projects. This is the best way to use Ant Media because you can integrate your simplest or quickest version when you have a deadline or specific live streaming needs. It basically saves time. Previously, we were creating our own web server and media server. We no longer need that media server and can just use Ant Media directly. There is no doubt that we are paying for Ant Media, but once you acquire users, they start using your website and start WebRTC live streaming through your application. You increase your customer base, and then you can move to a paid version. Ultimately, Ant Media saves your time, money, and the cost of buying a separate web server or media server. Instead of that investment, use Ant Media, get the endpoint, configure it, and do the live streaming.

Reduced live production latency and costs while improving uptime and remote monitoring
Haivision SRT Gateway offers scalable throughput which can range from 100 to 1 Gbps plus on server. Cloud pay-as-you-go auto-scaling models are available, and it is also available through Azure Marketplace deployments. The pay-as-you-go model is available, and there is also an option for buying your own licensing format. The metering and billing experience is excellent. Through the pay-as-you-go model, we can decide how much is needed at what time and determine the number of users and the plan we are looking for. Pricing, setup cost, and licensing are great features with Haivision SRT Gateway. Since we obtained it from AWS Marketplace, the pricing is 60 to 70 percent cheaper compared to other solutions. Licensing through the pay-as-you-go model is easy, and there is also an option for buying your own license according to requirements.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We tried other streaming services, but Ant Media provided us with the most reliable and affordable services."
"AMS allowed us to integrate a streaming platform into our solution fairly easily, with great support from a very accessible developer and company."
"Ant Media has allowed us to meet strict security and compliance standards required by our enterprise clients without sacrificing performance."
"It is easy to set up and integrate, and the support is excellent."
"Ultimately, Ant Media saves your time, money, and the cost of buying a separate web server or media server."
"Ant Media is a powerful platform that delivers on its promise of low-latency, high-quality streaming."
"The web dashboard is clean and easy to work with."
"Valuable features include live streaming, event scheduling with the Ant Media Enterprise admin panel, and broadcast forwarding to social media platforms."
"Haivision SRT Gateway has positively impacted my organization because being able to spin up a cloud-based server whenever I need the service is really cost-effective since the license is applied as part of the subscription cost, allowing me to only pay for it when I need it, meaning I'm not stuck with a large expenditure that only gets used for certain days or months of the year, making it really beneficial from a budget point of view."
"Anyone who is looking for a dedicated solution to improve their organization's latency, uptime, and bandwidth should definitely go ahead with Haivision SRT Gateway, as it is a great solution."
 

Cons

"Ant Media needs many improvements. Sometimes I am not getting proper video resolution, and it is lagging."
"The documentation is generally good, but more deep-dive examples for complex, custom edge-case configurations would be helpful for advanced developers."
"The product could be improved by adding VPN support and offering a local push feature in the free version."
"While the streaming performance is excellent, the pricing could be more accessible for small teams or markets with limited resources."
"For the auto-managed service on AWS, it would be an improvement if it auto-scaled and the launch from the marketplace function actually added to the currently running instance in a scaled manner instead of creating an isolated instance that cannot be used without CloudFormation."
"Haivision SRT Gateway sometimes does not have HEVC or AVC conversion, so an external encoder or decoder is required at times."
