Abstract: Real-time video streaming is essential in many types of systems. A system for streaming real-time video provides a low-latency solution allows systems and humans to respond to real-time events as they occur. Client application platforms, such as HTML5, may be used for web development; however, support for real-time video is very limited. The system provides the ability to stream real-time video from an originating video source to an HTML5 web application with low latency. A real-time video server includes a relay service configured to receive a video stream from a video source, a fragmented video generator configured to convert the video stream into a file-based video compression format including a plurality of video fragments, and a streaming service configured to transmit the fragmented video file to a video client for real-time playback.
