July 2023 Summaries

Red5 has released a significant update, version 11.0.0, which now supports WHIP (WebRTC HTTP Ingestion Protocol) and WHEP (WebRTC HTTP Egress Protocol), enhancing standardization and connection speeds for WebRTC publishing and playback. This update aligns with the WebRTC HTTP Ingestion and Egress Drafts and brings additional improvements such as support for DVR with HLS, Zixi Restreamer, and castLabs DRM, along with a new round trip time API and enhanced handling of KLV metadata from SRT streams. The update also consolidates API use for single servers and Stream Manager, reduces the time to start playing streams, and addresses several bug fixes related to encoder timestamping and network port range compliance. Chris Allen, CEO and co-founder of Red5, continues to drive innovation in video streaming, focusing on low-latency experiences, AI integration, and real-time streaming solutions for major clients like NVIDIA and Verizon.
