"5 Minutes behind", means it is delayed, edited, then broadcasted. It is not "live".

And No, August, this has not been done "since years" - not in real time.

This now means live in almost real time. In a German essay on the two experts and their breakthrough, the calculation time to process the video images and broadcast them is mentioned to be 40 milliseconds. Granted, that is also a delayed broadcast, but it is not delayed by minutes or seconds, but just 40 ms.

When Broll's assistant Jan Herling demonstrated the software short time ago at a symposium in Seoul, the audience was amazed and sceptical. "Worldwide, there is only a small handful of experts for this technology, but even for them this was completely new and so far unimaginable", says Diplom-Informatiker Herling.
