QVidium provides the capability to inter-operate with most Content Delivery Networks (CDNs). As
a result, the QVDEC4K can send to a CDN in one of four common protocols, SRT, RIST,
RTMP/RTMPS and HLS. These capabilities are described in Chapter 6. This feature allows the
QVDEC4K to interoperate with large content gathering points such as Facebook and YouTube.
