Definition

The Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) is a protocol used to stream video content from a device to a server in real time. It utilizes a 'streaming URL' and a 'streaming key' for the device to send the video data to the server.

How it Works

When streaming video using RTMP, the device encodes the video footage and sends it to the server using the streaming URL and key. This allows for real-time transmission, making it ideal for applications such as live streaming, video conferencing, and online gaming.

Usage

RTMP is commonly used by various streaming platforms and applications, including Larix Broadcaster and YouTube, to transmit video data from devices to servers. It provides a reliable and efficient method for delivering high-quality video content.
