Wowza Transcoder AddOn

Deployed on the same hardware with Wowza Media Server® 3 this AddOn allows you to transform incoming live streams from encoders, IP cameras, IPTV headends and other live sources to H.264 for delivery everywhere.

Overview

Wowza® Transcoder AddOn provides the ability to ingest a live stream, decode the video and audio, and then re-encode the stream to suit the desired playback devices. Wowza Transcoder is a real time video transcoding and transrating solution. It can decode audio and video in multiple formats and re-encode them to properly key-frame aligned H.264 streams for adaptive bitrate delivery.

 

Transcoded streams can be delivered as adaptive bitrate using Flash RTMP/HTTP Dynamic Streaming, Apple HLS, and Silverlight Smooth Streaming, or as single bitrate streams over any Wowza Media Server 3 supported protocols.

 
Audio-only Option

The audio-only option gives you the ability to pay a significantly lower “audio-only” price when using the Wowza Transcoder AddOn with streams that do not contain video. Using commodity hardware, the audio-only option transforms incoming live audio streams from encoders, IP cameras, IPTV headends, and other live sources into multiple bitrate H.264 stream sets for adaptive bitrate delivery. Additionally, the audio-only option can be used for non-adaptive streaming with any transport protocol supported by Wowza Media Server 3.
