Red5 Team at NAB Show 2026 in April

Meet the Red5 team in Las Vegas:

We will be working side by side with several of our partners, including Nomad Media, vendors from the OpenMOQ Software Consortium, AWS, OCI, Osprey Video, Videon, Showfer Media, and CacheFly to showcase how strong partnerships power real-time streaming and next-generation video workflows.

We will present several demos across several booth locations: Nomad Media Booth W2357, AWS Booth W1701, and CacheFly Booth W3129.

This year, we are joining our partner Nomad Media at booth W2357. Together, Red5 and Nomad power real-time streaming deployments for organizations such a traffic monitoring solution for Caltrans District 7, a real-time drone streaming solution for the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, a live legislative streaming and recording solution for the Montana State Legislature, and a real-time streaming solution for major sports broadcasters.

Our demos at this booth are organized into two pods: OpenMOQ and Red5.

Pod #1 OpenMOQ: WebRTC, HLS, LL-HLS, and MOQ Latency Comparison Demo

This demo features a live camera feed from the show floor streamed back to the booth using multiple protocols simultaneously. You will see MOQ, WebRTC, LL-HLS, and HLS side by side, making it easy to compare latency and performance in real time.

MOQ delivers near-instant, millisecond-level latency while maintaining scalability. Compared to traditional HTTP-based streaming and even WebRTC, it offers a simpler and more efficient approach to real-time delivery. At the same time, Red5 supports all major protocols, allowing you to choose what works best for your use case rather than forcing a single approach.

Red5 live streaming infrastructure supports WebRTC, RTMP, ERTMP, RSTP, HLS, SRT, WHIP and WHEP, Zixi video streaming protocols.

We will also highlight Red5’s server-side ad insertion capabilities, developed in partnership with Showfer Media. This enables real-time, personalized ad experiences across live streams and is already production-ready for WebRTC and HLS, with ongoing work to bring these capabilities to MOQ.

As a core contributor to the OpenMOQ ecosystem, Red5 is working alongside companies like Cisco, Akamai, Bitmovin, and others to shape the future of live streaming through open standards.

Pod #1 OpenMOQ: Demos from Other Vendors in the OpenMOQ Consortium

In addition to our demo, you will see demonstrations from other OpenMOQ Consortium members, including Cisco and other leading vendors.

These demos showcase the open-source work developed collaboratively across the ecosystem, including components like the MOQ player and relay. They highlight how major industry players are working together to build the next generation of real-time streaming.

This is a strong signal that MOQ is not just a concept, but an emerging standard backed by serious industry momentum, with Red5 playing a key role in that effort.

We will also join other founding members of the OpenMOQ Software Consortium to discuss our collaborative work on building high-performance MOQ software and bringing commercial MOQ-based solutions to market. The session will cover the opportunities MOQ unlocks, the innovation it enables, and the challenges of moving from an RFC to real-world deployment. We will also share demos and take questions from the audience.

Pod #2 Red5: TrueTime Solutions™

This pod focuses on what you can actually build with our TrueTime Solutions™. 

We will demonstrate TrueTime MultiView™ with synchronized multi-camera streams, real-time mixing, and monitoring workflows across use cases like traffic monitoring, courtrooms, sports, and broadcast environments. These workflows enable real-time decision-making and operational awareness, enhanced by AI-powered capabilities such as object detection, safety compliance, and live video analysis.

We will also showcase TrueTime Meetings™, which brings real-time interactive video communications directly into live streaming workflows. This enables spontaneous, scalable participation and closes the gap between passive viewing and active engagement.

Watch the TrueTime Meetings™ product overview video.  

All TrueTime Solutions™ are designed to run anywhere, including closed and air-gapped networks, making them ideal for government, defense, and surveillance environments. 

AWS Booth W1701

At the AWS booth W1701, we will present the same WebRTC, HLS, LL-HLS, and MOQ latency comparison demo running on AWS. It also reinforces that our live streaming infrastructure can be deployed wherever it makes the most sense for your organization.

Red5 is a long-term AWS partner with a strong history of collaboration in real-time streaming innovation. We are recognized as an AWS Media & Entertainment Competency Partner, validating our expertise in scalable, real-time video workflows.

Red5 Cloud is now available on AWS Marketplace, making it easy to deploy ultra-low latency live streaming without managing infrastructure, scaling, monitoring, or performance optimization. We handle the complexity for you. If your organization has an AWS Enterprise Agreement or committed cloud spend, you can use your AWS credits toward Red5 Cloud, simplifying procurement and aligning with existing budgets.

If you want to see how the same capabilities run in closed network environments, visit us at the Nomad Media booth W2357.

Become a Beta Tester of MOQ Streaming Powered by Red5 and CacheFly

red5 cloud and cachefly streaming solution overview

Beyond the live demos, we are introducing how Red5 Cloud will deliver MOQ at scale through our partnership with CacheFly. In this workflow, live streams are ingested into Red5, processed through our video packaging layer, and delivered via CacheFly using either MOQ or HTTP-based protocols like HLS and LL-HLS. This gives customers flexibility. You can deliver ultra-low latency streams with MOQ where real-time performance matters most, while still supporting traditional formats for broader device compatibility. It is not about replacing one protocol with another. It is about choosing what works best for your use case. Learn more here.

Our teams will be collecting beta testers at NAB for our globally deployed MOQ network. It allows Red5 Cloud users to leverage CacheFly CDN for MOQ delivery. If you want in on this early or just want some more details on how it might work for your business, reach out to us using this link
