Agora Launches Advanced Video Technology to Enhance Live Stream Quality

Leave a comment

Agora’s Adaptive Video Optimization™ (AVO) technology dynamically optimizes performance at every step, from capture to playback, to deliver exceptional live video quality.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Agora, Inc. (NASDAQ: API), a pioneer and leading platform for real-time engagement APIs, today unveiled its latest innovation, Adaptive Video Optimization™ (AVO) along with support for the AV1 video codec. This advanced technology harnesses the power of machine learning to dynamically adjust parameters at every step from capture to playback to deliver an enhanced live video streaming experience.

In today’s fast-paced digital world, live video calling and streaming often encounters hurdles such as unstable network conditions, packet loss, and limited bandwidth. These challenges can result in freezing, stuttering, grainy video, and dropped connections, diminishing the real-time video experience and negatively impacting user engagement. Adaptive Video Optimization™ uses a series of advanced machine learning algorithms to address these common issues. By optimizing video quality in real time based on network conditions, device capabilities, and available bandwidth, AVO ensures the highest possible video quality and optimal performance even under varying network scenarios.

“Reliable and high-quality live streaming is essential in today’s video-dominated media landscape,” stated Tony Zhao, CEO and Co-Founder of Agora. “Our Adaptive Video Optimization technology enables smooth delivery of every video call and livestream—despite network variability, user’s location or device type. These improvements empower Agora’s customers to provide the highest-quality live video user experience.”

Agora’s commitment to delivering a seamless real-time video experience with AVO rests on three core pillars:

  • Optimized Image Quality: Ensures that every frame is crisp, with enhanced contrast and vibrant details that make the viewing experience clearer and more engaging.
  • Unmatched Video Fluency: Eliminates common streaming issues like buffering and stuttering, providing a smooth and natural flow.
  • Ultra-Low Latency: Allows users to interact in real-time, whether with hosts or other viewers, and enjoy quick loading times and instant first-frame rendering for seamless transitions between video streams.

AVO™ takes a comprehensive machine learning approach to ensure the highest quality video streaming experience by optimizing every stage of the video processing pipeline — pre-processing, encoding, transmission, decoding, and post-processing. A key component of this solution is Agora’s Coding Technology (ACT), designed to optimize user experiences by dynamically selecting the best video codec (like AV1 or VP9) based on device capabilities and interoperability requirements. By employing advanced techniques and cutting-edge compression methods, the technology adapts, configuring parameters dynamically and ensures crisp visuals, efficient bandwidth utilization, and a consistent, high-quality experience for all users, from the moment the video is captured to the final display on the viewer’s screen.

From video capture through playback, the technology continuously adapts to changing network conditions and device capabilities, guaranteeing a seamless streaming experience. Any imperfections that may arise during transmission are rapidly mitigated, and the final video is polished to provide lifelike clarity, delivering a superior real-time video experience for scenarios ranging from telehealth consultations to live shopping and social media.

“Agora’s Adaptive Video Optimization™ (AVO) drastically improved the real-time video experience in our app,” said Ellard Capiral, VP of Engineering at social live streaming app KUMU. “Users get smooth, high-quality video without freezes—even on slow connections and older devices. Since implementing AVO, we’ve seen a 30% increase in session length and engagement.”

Noul participated in the Multilateral Initiative on Malaria Pan-African Malaria Conference (MIM PAMC) held in Kigali, Rwanda from April 21 to 27, and reveals two of the latest clinical performance studies conducted with its malaria diagnostic solution ‘miLab™ MAL’, in three major African countries, Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Ghana, through a poster presentation.

The study was conducted to verify the effectiveness of miLab™ MAL’s each use-case. And as a result, miLab™ MAL reached a sensitivity of 94.4% and a specificity of 98.1% for P. falciparum diagnosis, and a sensitivity of 97% and a specificity of 97.6% for P. vivax diagnosis. Based on these clinical achievements, Noul plans to actively promote cooperation with global research institutes and the health departments of each country. The achievements through collaborative research are expected to be published as papers within the year. 

Dr. Wellington A.Oyibo, a Chair of the Malaria Operational Research Expert Group of the National Malaria Program (MOREG) and a Professor of Lagos University who directed the research in Nigeria, said “miLab™ MAL is a potential game changer in accelerating access to parasitological confirmation and an asset to malaria control programs. Effective deployment of miLab™ MAL could provide critical data for accurately assessing malaria infection rates and severity, optimizing resource allocation and response strategies. This information is vital for health policymakers to design more effective prevention and case management programs.”

Dr. Taehwan Kim, Managing Director of noul GmbH said, “Africa is a huge single market, accounting for about 20% of the world’s population, and a place with 95.4% of the malaria burden occurring worldwide. By disclosing the excellent clinical performance of our malaria product at the conference involving the entire continent of Africa, we intend to establish specific cooperation relationships with key stakeholders in key markets such as global pharmaceutical companies and international organizations and actively seek new business opportunities.”

Meanwhile, the Multilateral Initiative on Malaria (MIM), established in 1997, is a global alliance of citizens, institutions, funding partners, and members united by the goal of enhancing scientific research capabilities in Africa and controlling and eradicating malaria. The Pan-African Malaria Conference (PAMC) is held every four years, marking its eighth anniversary this year. Major sponsors include the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Medicine for Malaria Venture (MMV).
