Is 4K Practical?
Blog post from Red5
Exploring the practicality of 4K video in WebRTC, Chris Kranky concludes that while technically feasible, the current Internet infrastructure's bandwidth limitations make it impractical for video conferencing, which requires significant upstream and downstream data for each user. In contrast, one-to-many broadcasts are more feasible due to their reliance on a single downstream stream, akin to platforms like Netflix, allowing for the possibility of low-latency live 4K streaming as long as the broadcaster has adequate bandwidth. The Red5 Team, with its extensive experience in live video, audio, and data streaming, supports this capability by scaling to handle millions of concurrent streams, provided viewers have sufficient downstream bandwidth. This approach aligns with their commitment to delivering innovative real-time experiences and sharing industry insights to aid organizations in navigating and scaling within the streaming landscape.
