## Description

Ant-Media-Server is a server-side streaming engine designed for real-time audio and video broadcasting. It functions as a live media transcoder and WebRTC streaming server, facilitating the ingestion, processing, and delivery of media streams across multiple protocols.

The platform is distinguished by its cloud-scale media infrastructure, which automates server capacity expansion to handle fluctuating volumes of concurrent viewers. It utilizes adaptive bitrate streaming to adjust video quality in real time based on network conditions and employs WebRTC and SRT to achieve ultra-low latency delivery.

The system covers a broad range of media capabilities, including live stream recording for archival purposes and secure media distribution. Content protection is managed through encryption, IP filtering, and token-based authentication to prevent unauthorized access.
