Vindral Live offers stream protection tools like JWTs, geographical restrictions and ASN limitations to protect your content. While these are sufficient for most cases, sometimes additional measures are needed to prevent risks like screen recording and advanced browser plugins.

Vindral Live now introduces support for DRM (Digital Rights Management) in its security toolkit. Vindral Live’s DRM helps mitigate the impact of downloading tools, screen recording and screen sharing. Industry-leading protocols like Google Widevine, Microsoft PlayReady and Apple FairPlay are utilized — the same technologies trusted by the likes of Disney and Netflix. Current support includes EZDRM and Irdeto.

Read more about DRM in the Vindral Live documentation.

We have added fresh metrics to the analytics page in the portal, a new tab with information regarding stability of the ingested media. The following set of metrics is now available for viewing:

Restarts

Total times ingest has started over the selected time period. This includes controlled restarts.

Restarts cause buffering for the end users, so for a stream running 24/7 this number should be as low as possible.

Video Key frame interval

We recommend a value of one or two seconds for faster channel switching and startup time, lower value is preferred. Here you can check that you are ingesting with an optimal key frame interval.

Average packet arrival delta

How often we receive a packet containing media from your sender.

Ideal value for video is 1000/frame rate, which gives a delta of 20ms for 50 fps and 33.3ms for 30 fps. This value should be stable and pretty close to the ideal value, a value that is much higher than the ideal value or varies a lot suggests there may be problems with the network.

Highest packet arrival delta

This value will vary a little bit more. Any peaks or consistently high values above the ideal indicate networking issues or host machine congestion.

The R2 2024 release brings major updates to Composer, including a brand new scripting engine, new operators, outputs and input types. The release brings improvements to the chroma keyer and media management features. The release also contains a long list of performance improvements and bug fixes.
