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 audio and 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.
