HTTP streaming is the future

● More effective● Lower delivery cost● Better caching utilization● Easier implementation

Hence wide adoption of HTTP Live Streaming, Smooth Streaming, HTTP Dynamic Streaming and MPEG-DASH.

Demand for HTTP streaming server

Customers seek for light-weight solution:● High performance;● Low license price.

Goals: decrease TCO and increase ROI.

Nimble Streamer initial development requirements

● Handle all HTTP streaming protocols:○ stream as origin;○ re-stream as edge.

● Get binary protocols as input as well.● Run at all major platforms on small virtual machine.● Fit to high-performance streaming infrastructure.● Free of charge.

Nimble Streamer performs transmuxing, i.e. re-packaging on-the-fly:● Pulled and published RTMP to HLS;● MPEG2TS to HLS;● Adaptive bitrates full support;● Icecast/SHOUTcast to audio-only HLS;● Security features may be applied to outgoing streams.
