This article will explain in detail what are the three characteristics of streaming media in the computer network. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

The three characteristics of streaming media are continuity, real-time and timing. Streaming media refers to a technology and process that compresses a series of media data, sends data in segments on the Internet, and transmits video and audio instantly on the Internet for viewing.

The three characteristics of streaming media are continuity, real-time and timing.

Streaming media (streaming media) refers to the technology and process of compressing a series of media data, sending data in segments on the Internet, and immediately transmitting video and audio on the Internet for viewing. This technology enables the data packet to be sent like a stream; if you do not use this technology, you must download the whole media file before use. Streaming can transmit live audio and video or movies pre-stored on the server. when the viewer is watching these audio-visual files, the audio-visual data will be played by specific playback software immediately after it is delivered to the viewer's computer.

Streaming media characteristics

(1) the content is mainly time-continuous media data (audio, video, animation, multimedia, etc.).

(2) the content can be transmitted by streaming technology without conversion.

(3) it has strong real-time and interaction.

(4) the startup delay is greatly shortened, which shortens the waiting time for users; users do not have to wait for all the content to be downloaded to the hard disk to start browsing, but can start watching after a period of startup delay.

(5) the requirement of system cache capacity is greatly reduced.

Internet is an asynchronous transfer based on packet transmission, and the data is divided into many packets for transmission. Because each packet may choose a different route, the time delay to the user's computer will be different. On the client side, the cache system is needed to compensate for the delay and jitter and to ensure the order of packet transmission. During the playback of streaming media files, it is no longer necessary to download all the files to the cache. Therefore, the requirement for caching is very low.
