Cupertino, CA – March 20, 2025 – VisualOn, a leader in multimedia playback and AI-enhanced video optimization, has partnered with Agora, the global leader in real-time engagement and interactive streaming, to redefine live sports and esports streaming. This collaboration integrates VisualOn’s OnStream MediaPlayer+ with Agora’s Sports Live Streaming Solution, delivering ultra-low latency streaming as low as 400ms-800ms, with seamless fallback to CDN for uninterrupted playback.
At NAB 2025 (VisualOn Booth W3902), VisualOn and Agora will showcase this integration through a live joint demo, highlighting how their combined solution enhances sports streaming by leveraging Agora’s AI-powered Sports Cam solution for real-time tracking and multi-angle viewing. By prioritizing technical alignment, Agora is ensuring smooth integration with VisualOn’s OSMP+ Player to accelerate deployment and demonstrate competitive advantages over traditional solutions.
Agora’s 180° AI Sports Cam captures live event footage and score data, automatically tracking key objects like balls through AI. The stream is sent directly to Agora’s Media Gateway via RTMP/SRT, bypassing third-party tools like OBS. Transcoded and delivered through Agora’s global Software-Defined Real-Time Network (SD-RTNTM), which minimizes latency and boosts efficiency with intelligent routing. VisualOn’s Player SDK, integrated with Agora’s technology, enables ultra-low-latency RTC streams (400ms to 800ms), with seamless CDN fallback (e.g., HLS) to ensure uninterrupted playback during network fluctuations.
This partnership addresses the demand for real-time, high-quality sports streaming, offering content providers AI-enhanced interactivity and optimized, seamless live viewing experiences.
“We are excited to partner with Agora to allow content providers to offer ultra-low latency streaming and AI-driven interactivity in real time,” said Yang Cai, President & CEO of VisualOn. “By combining Agora’s innovative Sports Cam solution with VisualOn’s powerful playback technology, we are enhancing the way sports fans experience live events.”
