We are planning to setup an IPTV headend using Wowza components. Our proposed setup is that - Live TV (Multicast) -> Wowza/Third party Transacoder -> Wowza Central Streaming Engine -> (Multicast) -> Wowza Edge Streaming Engine (Input is Multicast and Output is MPEG-DASH -> End Clients.
-
We downlink satellite channels and connect them to IRDs.
-
From IRDs we connect to Transcoders.
-
Output of Transcoders will connected to Central Wowza Streaming Engine.
-
From Central Wowza Streaming Engine Server which outputs Multicast streams will be fed into Edge Wowza Streaming Engine Servers.
-
At these Edge Wowza Streaming Engine Servers, the streams need to be converted from Multicast to MPEG-DASH and also need to encrypted using DRM and stream the content to End Clients.
Can anyone help us how to achieve this in Wowza?
