A quick reference guide.

The High-Efficiency Streaming Protocol (HESP) enables streaming services to be delivered at scale with a significantly reduced bandwidth and with a sub-second latency. This already impressive list of improvements is further complemented with a reduced zapping time allowing to push the viewer experience and engagement to the next level.

In this white paper we will compare the HESP characteristics with those of CMAF-CTE

• End-to-end latency
• Bandwidth usage
• Zapping times

Furthermore we will discuss how HESP uses adaptive bitrate and how its leveraging CDNs to scale easy and at low cost.
