About Ant Media
Ant Media's feed is mostly license-tier pages; the real news is its DRM and low-latency plugins.
The crawled feed mixes pricing and license pages (Trial, Hourly, Pay-as-you-Go, Monthly) with two genuine capability additions: a DRM plugin for securing streams and a Low-Latency HLS plugin cutting latency to 2-5 seconds. Ant Media Server is a WebRTC and RTMP streaming engine; the substantive entries are its plugin ecosystem, but several entries are clearly pricing pages caught by the crawler.
