Livestreaming
• Transcoding: Adaptive Bitrate Streaming (ABR) adjusts video resolution according to shoppers' network conditions for a smooth viewing experience. Digital Rights Management (DRM) supports Widevine and Fairplay to protect copyright.
• Cloud Program Directing: This solution supports ad insertion, brand logo display, product-commercial integration, and customized picture layout, to enhance product promotion. It also supports audio/text recognition and two-way translation between Chinese, English, French, Spanish, and Russian in real-time, with built-in language templates for quick and flexible use in cross-region scenarios.
• Processing: Video moderation recognizes inappropriate content to guarantee compliance. You can record videos in ApsaraVideo VOD to edit later or replay to shoppers.

Alibaba Cloud's CDN and webrtc-based RTS protocol bring latency down to 2 seconds in global networks. The Video Play SDK is compatible with multiple mainstream platforms and devices.
