Inhatch is a real-time video streaming in the Internet.
It is a full stack for live media distribution system. Including broadcasting, standalone and embedded clients. The live media stream is distributed using Inhatch protocol via Inhatch LCDN (Live Content Delivery Network).
InHatch is a service that provides real time audio and video content distribution on the Internet. Unlike regular solutions, InHatch requires no preliminary knowledge of number of users and expensive resources like high bandwidth and video servers in order to deliver content to the end user. Every user of InHatch content is simultaneously a distributor as well, giving the platform its main advantage: the higher the number of users connected to it, the more balanced it is.

So, how does it work?
The content, delivered by a digital or an analog source, is passed on to an InHatch broadcaster which processes it in real time and generates an InHatch stream. Each InHatch stream is boosted by InHatch Seed Service that supports the stream should the number of users becomes too low or too high. The InHatch streams are accessible from the Internet by way of InHatch clients that are able to play it on users' devices. When a user starts consuming a stream, it becomes available to other users. An InHatch stream, together with the users that are currently consuming it, make up an InHatch LCDN (Live Content Delivery Network). Thus the InHatch LCDN allocates the resources for content delivery between individual users, making dedicated central points (servers) obsolete.
How to use as content provider?
We set up for you an InHatch broadcaster system together with Seed Service that directly feeds from your video source stream. You will be provided with: A URL that you can give to your viewers so they can view it directly on their mobile device or their browser. A QR code that can be scanned by the InHatch mobile application so that your viewers can begin watching your stream. A channel name that the users can input in their InHatch players to begin watching your stream. A web plug-in that can be embedded into your web page.
How to use as a viewer?
You can simply visit the InHatch website and start viewing the channels that you’re interested in by entering their codes into the InHatch player, or just follow a link given to you by the content provider. Alternatively the InHatch stream may be embedded in the content provider’s website and you just need to browse their website.
