encoding delay time

[lsk0524]

Hello. I'm using the demo with great satisfaction. Thank you.

I'm testing various options with the goal of streaming h265 or h266 with STR.

Since I want ultra-low latency streaming, I'd like to know the h265 or h266 encoding latency.

For hardware specifications, for example, using an Intel 285K CPU and an RTX 40 or RTX 40 series processor, I'd like to know how many milliseconds I can achieve.

Encoding profile: fast / no b-frames

Generally, regardless of quality, there was a report from PARSEC that NVIDIA's hardware encoding was around 5ms, Intel's 11ms, and AMD's 15ms. (hardware encoding)

What latency does the mainconcept encoder have?

And what encoding profiles are capable of real-time transmission?

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoy using the Live Encoder.

Currently, we do not have a specific low latency encoding preset, but all available presets are capable of real-time streaming with some certain delay which depends on a preset. Live Encoder is a complex product and each contained component can introduce some latency, thus it must be properly tuned.

As I can see, you submitted a ticket into our CRM system (ticket # 27603468151). One of my colleagues is already in contact with you. You could help us by answering the following questions:
- which end-to-end latency do you expect?
- which source are you going to use (SDI card or SRT via IP)?
- what is the main use case (Full HD, 4K, 8K)?
Than we could provide you with more specific recommendations and run some additional tests if required.

Have a nice day!
