What's the latency for a stream?

💻 Environment/Context

  • Live ingest
  • Nimble
  • Latency
  • Stream
  • Feed

 

 

❓ Issue/Question

  • The broadcaster asked this: what can be the latency level, 120ms or 200ms or 1000ms? From morning, it's at 120ms.

 

👌 Resolution/Answer

  • We don't enforce a fixed latency on Nimble, so it can be lower than 2,000 ms. 
  • The Live-to-HLS pipeline targets a latency of around 2,000 ms, but that's the result of the handshake and coordination between all the components involved, rather than a limit imposed by Nimble.
