Configurable latency

Latency is a critical factor in live streaming. It refers to the delay between the time a signal is sent and when it is received by the viewer. For any interactive application, latency is pivotal, as it can greatly impact the user’s experience.

At Vindral, viewers are kept on a known latency of your choice, which is guaranteed for all viewers, across devices. This means you have the flexibility to configure the latency to your needs, whether it’s 700ms glass-to-glass or around one second. The configurable buffer ensures that all viewers get the same experience.

Vindral’s most common configurations are set at sub-second glass-to-glass latency. This means that the delay between the source and the viewer is virtually imperceptible. Whether you are streaming live events, webinars, or delivering on-demand content, viewers will receive the experience intended, without any lag or delays.

Our SDKs provide support for configuring a static latency which can be set on a per channel basis, per region/country, or based on other parameters relevant to your use case.
