description: Livepeer is a decentralized video infrastructure network. Independent orchestrators run GPU hardware to provide
  live and on-demand video transcoding services, paid for in ETH/LPT on the Livepeer protocol. Livepeer Studio is the managed
  gateway and developer platform sitting on top of the network, exposing a REST API at livepeer.studio/api for live streams,
  on- demand assets, multistream targets, transcoding jobs, sessions, playback, signing keys, AI generation (text-to-image,
  image-to-image, image-to-video, upscale, audio-to-text), and webhooks. Official SDKs are published for JavaScript/TypeScript,
  Python, Go, and Ruby, with React Player and React Broadcast components for client-side playback and ingest.
