AWS has announced Amazon Interactive Video Service (Amazon IVS) is able to deliver live streams with latency that can be under 300 millisecond from host to viewer, to an audience of up to 10,000 viewers.
Amazon IVS is a managed live streaming solution that is designed to make low-latency or real-time video available to viewers around the world
The service previously supported streaming channels that can be under 3 seconds from encoder to viewer with its Low-Latency Streaming capability. Amazon IVS Real-Time Streaming enables users to build interactive video features for social media applications or latency-sensitive use cases, said the company.
When using the Real-Time Streaming capability, participants join a virtual resource called a “stage” as either viewers or hosts. Multiple hosts can collaborate on a stage and up to 10,000 participants can be viewers watching the stage.
Users can build applications that let a host promote an audience member “on stage”, turning them from a viewer into a host, said AWS.
