Purpose

Perfect Streamer

The Perfect Streamer program is designed to transmit MPEG-TS streams over the public Internet with packet loss and delays. It uses Perfect Stream (PS1), an in-house UDP-based protocol. The standard Pro-MPEG / RTP+FEC (also known as SMPTE 2022-1/2) and SRT protocols are also supported, which allows organizing channels both between Perfect Streamer instances and with other programs or equipment that support these protocols.

  • PS1 transport protocol works on the principle of Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ). It has low resource consumption and allows to transmit high bitrate streams.

  • Pro-MPEG / RTP+FEC (Pro-MPEG COP3, also known as SMPTE 2022-1/2) — RTP with forward error correction (FEC). Described in the IEEE standard (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6738329) and supported by a range of equipment. Advantage — low latency. Disadvantage — high additional traffic, and it works poorly with large packet losses.

  • SRT is an open protocol developed by Haivision. It is based on the UDT protocol. It is widely adopted and has good packet-loss compensation characteristics.

  • RIST is an open protocol. It is based on RTP/RTCP. It works on the Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) principle without ACK, only NACK, which provides high efficiency.

Standard transport protocols such as HLS, HLS SSL, UDP, RTP, HTTP, etc are supported.

A transcoder is available with support for Nvidia Encoder and Software CPU.

The program features stream redundancy, an EPG server, a multiplexer and demultiplexer, an EIT generator, work with DVB cards, a professional analyzer (TR 101 290 and more advanced), graphs, AES encryption, mosaic, modification of metadata in MPEG-TS, and more.

Integration with Zabbix, Grafana and other monitoring systems is supported.
