Smoothing latency [ms] | The Smoothing feature uses a buffer to time packets according to the stream's clock. This is useful when there are bursts in the rate in which the stream arrives. The smoothing features creates a queue in the buffer, allowing smoother entry into the Feeder. The Smoothing parameter defines the size of the buffer in Milliseconds. A larger buffer will enable smoother entry, however it may influence the latency rate. |
