As far as I know, GOP size should correlate with observable video delay (latency). For example, if GOP size is 2, then delay in video should be near two seconds and so on, at least with CBR. But, when I set GOP size to 2, publish stream to ingest server, consume this stream and measure latency, it is between 0.8-1.2 seconds, not 2+ seconds as excepted. Increasing GOP size leads to same results: with GOP 4 latency is near 2.5 seconds, not 4 seconds.
How I measure this latency: stream working stopwatch from web-camera using OBS to ingest server and calculate difference between stopwatch value and value displayed in stream consumed from ingest. For greater measurement accuracy, I make a photo with stopwatch and actual image from ingest in one field of view.
My OBS settings is here:
Can you suggest, why do I get such results and how relevant is my statement about correlation between GOP size and video latency? Maybe, H264 settings like "zerolatency" makes some magic?
Thanks.
