What Are ClearCaster Minimum Upload Bandwidth Requirements?

[Bill_Robbins]

Hi,

In order to achieve a 1080p30 upload, what is the minimum LAN upload bandwidth required by the ClearCaster? Is this controllable via the API, or does the device always try to use the max quality supported by the available bandwidth? Any help appreciated, thanks.

Hello Bill,

Thank you for your inquiry about the Wowza ClearCaster product.

To answer your question, the encoding parameters are controlled by FaceBook through the API. For example, a 1080p stream would be sent at a bitrate around 8Mbps. The Wowza ClearCaster logic will adjust the bitrate on the fly based on network conditions.

For your reference, I am providing you with some useful links for the Wowza ClearCaster:
