New video: In-venue streaming
Watch our CTO Per Mafrost as he talks about the challenges and solutions of In-venue streaming. Learn how we handle ultra-low latency and high-quality streaming in various environments, from sports arenas to airplanes!
In-Venue
Leverage strategically placed edge servers within your venue, enabling high-quality, ultra-low latency streaming to large audiences.
A flexible solution
for modern challenges
When live streaming within a venue—whether it’s a small concert hall, a large stadium, or a convention center—issues like unstable connections, network congestion, and high latency can quickly degrade the viewing experience for both In-Venue and remote audiences. Traditional streaming methods often depend on external internet bandwidth, making it difficult to scale smoothly with audience size or to deliver consistently high-quality content.
Our In-Venue streaming solution utilizes edge servers positioned within the venue itself. This setup reduces dependency on external internet bandwidth, ensuring high-quality streaming that scales with audience needs. From small concerts to large stadium events, this solution adapts to deliver an engaging and immersive experience without the usual streaming limitations.
Bandwidth Savings
Hyperlocal edge servers means you deliver your streams locally. This minimizes external bandwidth usage, cuts costs, and provides consistent quality even during peak loads.
Uniform performance
By reducing dependency on external internet bandwidth, you can deliver high quality media at low latency no matter what device they are using– even older models.
Flexible solution
With Vindral you have the option to put transcoding and edge servers in the cloud. Everything gathered in the same place, offered as managed services.
How our In-Venue
solution works
Hyperlocal edge
One or more edge servers placed on premise. A single stream is delivered to the location and distributed locally, which minimizes the strain on external bandwidth.
Local Wi-Fi
To access the In-Venue solution, viewers must connect to the local Wi-Fi. The IP of the hyperlocal edge server is used to ensure accurate routing.
External viewers
Viewers located outside the venue, as well as local audiences not connected to the Wi-Fi, will receive a synchronized stream via their cellular connection through the Vindral cloud as usual.
Scalable architecture
The architecture scales effortlessly, adjusting to meet the demands of the event in real-time without sacrificing stream quality from hundreds to thousands of attendees.
