With the rapid advancement of digital human technology, Lip Sync technology has reached a level where it can generate highly realistic virtual character videos, bringing digital human expressiveness to an unprecedented level. However, generating high-quality lip-synced videos is only the first step. The real challenge lies in delivering these videos to end users in real time while ensuring smooth and low-latency playback.

In the past, the WebSocket + MainSource solution was the mainstream choice for real-time video streaming. This approach maintained a persistent connection to push lip-synced video from the server to the client, where it was displayed in a front-end player. However, as user demands for real-time performance and smooth playback increased, the limitations of this approach became apparent—high latency, inefficient bandwidth usage, and synchronization difficulties, all of which significantly impacted user experience.

As a result, WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) technology emerged as a more efficient and stable alternative. Designed specifically for real-time audio and video communication, WebRTC enables low-latency, high-bandwidth efficiency in video transmission, making it especially suitable for streaming pre-generated lip-synced videos. With built-in audio-video synchronization mechanisms and automatic bandwidth management, WebRTC significantly improves the quality and stability of video streaming.

This article will delve into the transition from WebSocket + MainSource to WebRTC, exploring how this upgrade brings a transformative improvement to real-time video streaming in digital human systems and analyzing its advantages and value in practical applications.

2. The Merits and Limitations of the WebSocket + MainSource Solution
2.1 How WebSocket + MainSource Works
In the early days of real-time audio and video transmission, WebSocket + MainSource was the undisputed “workhorse”. Its working principle is straightforward and effective:
