- Sub-second delay between origin and player.
- Codec-agnostic
- ABR support
- HTTP and HTTPS on top of TCP
- Buffer offset support
Take a look at SLDP usage description and also most frequent questions that show the protocol best practices.
In addition to low latency, SLDP provides great level of live streams protection, read this article for more details.

Nimble Streamer and Transcoder
Before exposing big updates, here's a feature you were waiting for: HLS input for processing. So now you can pull HLS stream to transmux it to other protocols like RTMP or even use it for further transcoding.
Here are a few big updates.
HEVC transcoding is now available in Live Trasncoder in addition to HEVC transmuxing.
- You can decode HEVC using NVENC and QuickSync as well as software decoder.
- Encoding can be done with NVENC and QuickSync.
Read more about NVENC encoding and QuickSync encoder parameters. Also, QuickSync setup description was updated with Media Server Studio 2017.
Speaking of new codecs, Live Transcoder now can encode audio to MP3. So now it's possible to transcode your live audio from AAC, MP3, Speex, PCM and MP2 into MP3.

Other major update for transcoder is streams' hot swap with Live Transcoder. It now allows using the following opposite scenarios:
- Streams failover hot swap where main stream is backed up by secondary stream in case of publication fail.
- Emergency swap where main stream is replaced with some replacement stream when it becomes available. This is used in cases like US Emergency Alert System (EAS).
The streams are swapped without streams interruption so user playback will not be affected.
Last but not least: we've added new capabilities to give granulated control to end-users. We've separated control features and you can give access to particular capability. Read this article for details.
