**Server as a local app**

Alternatively, the server is also available as a local app. This is the preferred method for locations with unreliable or no internet connection.

In this configuration, you can download and install an app that will handle everything, just like how other presentation software is designed.

**3a. Browser rendering**

Browser rendering is the default rendering method. It is the simplest and the recommended way for anything simple.

**Media cache**

Since rendering is done in this part, we use media cache to ensure smooth media playback and transition. If there are multiple renderer connected, each of them will need a cache of their own.

**3b. Server rendering**

Server rendering renders the final picture in the server. This is required if we want an output in a specific format.\
For example: Video stream like NDI/SDI/HDMI/RTSP and the like.

The benefit is that there won't need to be a client. Or at least it can be a very simple client.
