Feature Overview & Supported Protocols
Section titled “Feature Overview & Supported Protocols”Nyan Streaming is a video delivery service designed with the goal of delivering high-quality video with low latency (as low as about 1 second). It runs on our in-house developed delivery server and delivers video without server-side transcoding (re-encoding). PCM (s16be) audio received over RTSP is converted to AAC only when viewers use a non-RTSP playback method.
