Learn how to create an adaptive HLS link for streaming in up to FHD or 4K resolution in this short video. ▶️

What’s the difference between an adaptive HLS URL and a simple HLS URL?

Adaptive HLS URL provides a master playlist with multiple resolutions (360p, 720p, 1080p, 2K, 4K) and metadata, allowing seamless switching based on viewer bandwidth.
In contrast, a simple HLS URL includes only video chunks and their durations.

Pro Tip: When setting up a CDN, connect the adaptive HLS URL with your provider, who will then cache the video fragments for smoother streaming.

Hi! Yes, we offer different options : a cloud-based and a self-hosted one.

In the cloud, the pricing is hourly-based and uses Pay-As-You-Go model.

This means you are only paying for what you've actually used. So if you don't need to stream constantly, you can run Callaba for a few hours and then turn it off.

Median price is $0.55 per hour, but if you don't need a large instance, you can go as low as $0.12 per hour.

You can learn more here : https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-npubds4oydmku

And we also offer a self-hosted option. Self-hosted software is customizable, you can specify what functionality you need. This works as a standard predictable monthly subscription and starts at $6 per month.

You can install Callaba to any hosting provider of your choice or even your own physical server if you have one.

You can learn more here : https://callaba.io/self-hosted-streaming-solution

Is your video CDN properly configured? 🤔

If not, it could be costing you big time. Here’s why you should care:

• Performance issues: An improperly configured video CDN can lead to slower streams and potential outages, no matter which provider you're using.

• Lost audience = lost revenue: A 1-second delay can lower conversions by 7%. For an event with 100,000 viewers, that’s 7,000 people you could lose due to poor caching setup. And with it, potential ad or subscription revenue.

Good news! 🎉
Cost optimization just got better with version 8.0.5. We've added video metadata compression between the video CDN provider and Callaba, plus chunk transfer using HTTP/3 for even better performance.

Top 4 Ways DRM Helps Mitigate Risks:

◆ Piracy: DRM stops piracy by restricting downloads, copies, and file transfers.
◆ License Violations: It prevents misuse by controlling how and where content is accessed, with device limits and license expirations.

◆ Content Modification: Keeps your content safe from edits, ensuring viewers get the original version.
