ARCHITECTURE v3.8
Edge Video Ingest & Transcoding Gateway
StreamCore VOD delivers ultra-low-latency video ingest, hardware-accelerated adaptive transcoding (AV1 / HEVC / H.264), and distributed chunk replication across tier-1 edge nodes. Engineered for high-throughput live broadcasting and secure media processing.
< 180msGlass-to-Glass Latency
99.99%High-Availability SLA
TLS 1.3Strict Zero-Trust Crypto
Authentication & Token Security
All stream sessions require a cryptographically signed HMAC token. Stream ingest keys follow the live_sk_[hex] standard and must be passed via the X-Stream-Key header or encrypted within the initial TLS handshake payload.
