Auction and bidding streams at ≈0.5s latency
A two-second delay turns a live bid into a disputed bid. Vasl pairs sub-second WebRTC video with timed metadata for lot changes and bid cues.
Publish
Encoders, cameras, browsers and mobile apps open the session.
Vasl
One server you run transcodes, records, authorizes and fans the stream out.
Play
Interactive viewers stay on WebRTC. Broader audiences take HLS from the same publish.
Workflows
Auction floor to online room
Live auction broadcast
Publish the room camera and audio with WebRTC so remote bidders see the gavel in near real time.
Lot and bid cue sync
Use data channels / timed metadata so UI lot cards flip with the video, not after it.
Hybrid in-room + online
Same stream for floor screens and remote apps — one truth for the sale.
High-value art & auto
Encrypted contribution and authenticated playback for exclusive catalogs.
Audit recording
Archive the sale for disputes and compliance without a second recorder.
Mobile bidder apps
SDKs and APIs so your bidding product embeds live video natively.
