Real time transmission also known as IP (Internetworking Protocol) that supports real-time transmission of voice and video. It allowed playing a video images, approximately real-time, without having to wait for an entire large video file to download. The term near real time pertains to the delay introduced, by automated data processing or network transmission, between the occurrence of an event and the use of the processed data, e.g., for display or feedback and control purposes.

For example, a near-real-time display depicts an event or situation as it existed at the current time less the processing time.

The distinction between near real time and real time varies and the delay is dependent on the type and speed of the transmission.
