The Science of 4K Streaming

Streaming 4K live content requires a robust architecture. In this deep dive, we look at why your internet speed alone isn't enough to guarantee a smooth experience.

Hardware Acceleration

Using the right hardware, like the Nvidia Shield, allows for better decoding of high-resolution feeds, reducing strain on your network and CPU.
