Wowza stream input format

Hello

Please help me a little

The stream from a webcam to wowza, what format does it go to wowza in? Mpeg stream?

Thanks,

Vladimir

Hi Vladimir,

The answer will depend on the output capabilities of the camera. Wowza accepts the following incoming encoded-stream protocols: RTMP, RTSP/RTP, MPEG2-TS, and ICY. Please see the Compatible Live Encoding section on http://www.wowza.com/specs.html for more details, and let us know what follow-up questions you have.

Vladimir,

You can use a live encoder like Wirecast to publish RTMP stream to Wowza. It should contain h.264 video and AAC (preferable) or MP3 audio to playback across client types.

What type of stream does it send wowza?

Thanks,

Vladimir

I believe this camera uses Motion JPEG (MJPEG). The computer that the camera is connected to then needs to be running an encoding application (such as Wirecast or FFMPEG - elsewhere in these forums you will find posts about using these with Wowza) to convert the MJPEG to H.264.
