Third quarter of 2017 is now over so it's time to make a summary of what our team has accomplished.

General announcements

As always, take a moment to read our State of Streaming Protocols to see how the streaming landscape technologies are currently used among our customers. Spoiler: DASH keeps rising, HLS goes a bit down, SLDP gains momentum.

Nimble Streamer



First, we're glad to announce an article in Streaming Media by Jan Ozer about our Live Transcoder:
Review: Softvelum Nimble Streamer Is Flexible and Well-Featured
We appreciate Jan sharing his opinion and we'll keep improving our products per his feedback.

Now let's check new features.

Our team continuously improves SLDP low-latency streaming technology.

SLDP HTML5 JavaScript SDK for creating low latency HTML5 players is now available for licensing in addition to existing mobile SDKs.

Other SLDP updates you may find useful:
SRT streaming technology, originally created by Haivision and opened to open-source community, is now available in Nimble Streamer. It's a protocol which adds reliability to UDP transmission with error correction, encryption and other features which make it a great method to deliver live content across unreliable networks. Softvelum was also among first participants of SRT Alliance to take part in improving the protocol.
You can enable SRT in Nimble by installing SRT package and making respective settings.

Speaking of new protocols, UDT streaming protocol is now available in Nimble Streamer. Read this article for setup details.

Live Transcoder has been updated: VP8 and VP9 decoding and encoding are now supported. Read this article for more details about setup and usage. VP8 was also added to VA API implementation in our transcoder to give more flexibility.
