FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: apparatus for transmitting streaming interactive video comprises a plurality of servers running one or more twitch video games to obtain a plurality of streams of uncompressed low-latency streaming interactive video; a compressing unit which compresses one or more streams of the uncompressed streaming interactive video obtained by said servers into a new stream of compressed streaming interactive video for transmission in packet form through a network connection to a plurality of client devices associated with a corresponding plurality of users. A user provides a control input for at least one of the servers, wherein at least one user is geographically remote from the territory where at least one of the servers is located; wherein the new stream of compressed streaming interactive video is compressed with the worst to and from latency of 90 ms from the user control input before displaying the response to the user control input on the client device of the user at a transmission distance of up to 2414 km.
EFFECT: shorter latency for transmitting video.
