What problems is Ant Media Server solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been referred to AntMedia by a collegue. Upon reviewing the product we found it to be a great tool to teach WebRTC and modern internet media delvery concepts to Computer Science and Computer Engineering students. Big thanks to AntMedia for providing community edition of their product for free. Though somewhat limited in functionlity it can do the job of basic live streaming on your own hardware. Another thanks to AntMedia for being loyal to Educational communities and offering complementary licenses for the full product to be used in lab environments for practical assignments.
Below is some of the topics we cover in our course and use AntMedia server as demonstration tool for:
- Modern Video & Audio codecs for Internet Media
- HLS vs WebRTC Streaming
- Adaptive Bit Rate
- Scaling to tenth of thousands of viewers through clustering
- Using docker for scalability
- Internet Streaming Platforms Hardware & Cloud Infrastructure
Hope the product will become more and more polished and feature-rich with future releases and that Community Edition will still be available for non-profits and people who are just starting their journey in the video streaming technologies world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
