Converting NDI to Apple Low Latency HLS

Nimble Streamer supports NDI processing to get real-time input and produce multiple output formats. Apple Low Latency HLS is one of the protocols that can be produced from NDI.

We've made a brief video demonstration of how Nimble Streamer can produce Apple Low Latency HLS from NDI source stream.

Here are the steps described there:

1. We use Nimble Streamer instance which has been previously installed.
2. That instance has SSL set up with HTTP/2 enabled.
3. Low Latency HLS is then enabled for a separate application.
4. Then NDI processing was set up via Nimble Live Transcoder.
5. The output is then checked for playback on Mac and iPhone.

We used default recommended settings:

• 6 seconds chunks,
• 1000ms parts duration,
• 2000ms key frame interval.

Our latency is around 4 seconds on both Apple devices. You can follow our Low Latency HLS setup article to get more details about reducing the latency and other tips and tricks.
