LiveEdge® Max and Singular Brings 60 FPS Dynamic HTML5 Graphic Overlays to Live Video Workflows

Live video production is demanding. To deliver the best Quality of Experience (QoE) for viewers, workflows need to maintain low latency, minimize cloud costs, and ensure smooth operational control. One growing requirement is the ability to render dynamic HTML5 graphic overlays in real-time directly onto output streams.

With the latest update to LiveEdge Max, this is now possible at 60 FPS on two separate channels per device, each supporting its own unique graphics URL. This advancement enables real-time graphics rendering without adding complexity or increasing infrastructure costs.

Seamless Integration with Singular.live

Graphics technology platforms like Singular allow users to dynamically control and trigger HTML5 graphic overlays via public URLs or API commands. With LiveEdge Max, Singular graphics can now be rendered natively at the edge, eliminating the need for external rendering servers and reducing end-to-end latency.

"By enabling high-frame-rate HTML5 graphics natively at the edge, LiveEdge Max gives broadcasters and content creators the flexibility to deliver stunning graphic overlays without adding cloud-based dependencies. This is a major leap forward for live production workflows."

Hubert Oehm, CTO, Singular.live

Unlocking New Use Cases

Beyond static graphic overlays, this feature unlocks new workflows when combined with other LiveEdge use cases:

• Real-Time Score and Data Visualization: LiveEdge Max can integrate live data feeds for sports, rendering and overlaying graphics dynamically from Singular.Live at the source for enhanced viewer engagement.
• Automated Ad Insertion & Monetization: Combined with SCTE-35 marker insertion, graphic overlays can trigger dynamic ad placements at key moments, creating new revenue opportunities.
• Interactive Fan Engagement: Personalized graphic overlays, second-screen experiences, and dynamic sponsorship elements can adjust in real time.
• Ultra-Low Latency Broadcasts: Maintaining sub-200ms latency ensures real-time engagement with audiences.

Designed for Flexibility and Control

• No Additional Hardware Needed: If you already have LiveEdge Max in your workflow, you can enable this feature with no additional equipment.
• API-Driven & Remote-Managed: Operators can control graphic overlays remotely via LiveEdge Cloud Control or through API commands.
• No Additional Encoding Steps: Graphics are rendered natively, eliminating extra decode/re-encode delays.
• Cost-Efficient & Scalable: Avoid cloud-rendering costs while maintaining a lightweight, on-premises deployment.
