  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.
