With Aircast, live truly means live. Traditional broadcast streams take a long detour — video is encoded, chopped into segments, sent across networks, and buffered by your device. Each step adds seconds of delay. Aircast cuts out those extra processes, delivering video and audio in under 300ms — faster than the blink of an eye. The videos below break down how latency is introduced and why it exists, while the side-by-side comparison shows how Aircast keeps fans perfectly in sync with the action, whether they’re in the stadium or at home.

Aircast skips the extra steps that slow down traditional streams. Instead of re-encoding and packaging video into segments, Aircast delivers the feed directly to fans.
