How Wowza Fits Into Your Stack
Most organizations end up with fragmented video systems—different cameras, encoders, networks, players, analytics tools, and storage platforms that don’t speak the same language.
Wowza serves as the media layer that connects them all. Use your existing hardware with flexible upgrade paths, and integrate Wowza through APIs, SDKs, and Java modules that slot into VMS, analytics, AI engines, IAM, storage, and observability systems.
Embed Wowza in Your Event Platform
Many event platforms and broadcast tools embed Wowza directly into their product – using it as the backbone for ingest, processing, and delivery so they don’t have to maintain complex streaming infrastructure. It’s how teams ship features faster, support diverse production workflows, and scale confidently.
What types of entertainment events can Wowza stream?
Wowza supports live and on-demand streaming for entertainment events including concerts, music festivals, sports and esports, theater and performing arts, conferences, award shows, fan engagement events, and ticketed livestreams. Wowza is used for both large-scale public broadcasts and private or paywalled entertainment experiences.
How does Wowza handle multi-camera or multi-stage productions?
Wowza supports simultaneous ingest of multiple live video feeds from different cameras, stages, or locations. Each feed can be independently transcoded, packaged, recorded, and delivered. Wowza integrates with external production tools for camera switching and mixing, while providing scalable backend processing and delivery for each stream.
How do surveillance solutions handle low-latency delivery to command centers and mobile units?
Wowza delivers low-latency surveillance video using WebRTC for real-time monitoring and SRT for reliable transport from remote or unstable networks.
How does Wowza ensure reliable streaming during high-traffic events?
Wowza ensures reliable streaming through adaptive bitrate (ABR) delivery, redundant ingest options, horizontal scaling, and integration with global CDNs. Wowza supports failover configurations, load balancing, and protocol bridging to maintain stream availability and performance during traffic spikes and peak viewer demand.
Does Wowza support transcoding and custom video processing?
Yes. Wowza supports real-time and file-based transcoding into multiple resolutions, bitrates, and formats. It also supports custom video processing workflows, including stream manipulation, metadata insertion, protocol conversion, and integration with AI or analytics services via APIs and modular extensions.
Can Wowza integrate with existing production equipment?
Yes. Wowza integrates with standard production equipment and software, including hardware and software encoders, cameras, switchers, and media servers. It supports common ingest protocols such as RTMP, SRT, RTSP, and MPEG-TS, allowing it to fit into existing broadcast and live production workflows.
What delivery platforms does Wowza support for entertainment streaming?
Wowza supports delivery to web browsers, mobile applications, smart TVs, and connected devices using protocols such as HLS, DASH, WebRTC, and low-latency streaming formats. Wowza can deliver streams through CDNs or directly to custom endpoints depending on deployment requirements.
Can Wowza be embedded inside an entertainment platform or broadcast tool?
Yes. Wowza is designed to be embedded as a streaming engine within custom entertainment platforms, OTT services, and broadcast tools. It provides APIs, SDKs, and flexible deployment options that allow developers to integrate live and on-demand video streaming directly into their own applications and products.
