  Dolby.io (now branded as Dolby OptiView) is Dolby Laboratories' developer platform for media, streaming,
  communications, and advertising APIs. Originally launched as a hub for Dolby's audio and video processing services
  (Media APIs, Communications APIs), the platform has consolidated around three OptiView pillars — Real-time Streaming
  (formerly Millicast), Live Streaming (formerly THEOlive), and Playback (formerly THEOplayer) — with an Advertising
  pillar built on Server-Guided Ad Insertion. The platform powers live sports streaming for the NFL, NASCAR, Paddy
  Power, and other large broadcasters, with sub-500ms WebRTC delivery, multi-format ingest (WHIP/WHEP, SRT, RTMP), and
  cross-platform playback SDKs.
