Live Transcoding enables content providers to deliver adaptive bitrate streaming to multiple devices from a single high-quality Push or Pull source stream. Our powerful GPU based transcoding platform reduces operational cost and complexity, eliminates bandwidth bottlenecks, and provides viewers with high-quality user experience on their device of choice.
You need to have at least a single Publishing Point (Push/Pull) for which the Transcoding has to be enabled. At 5centsCDN, Live Transcoding is an extremely resource-intensive CPU-based process and includes the following steps: decoding of the source stream, processing and coding of the raw stream according to the specified parameters. Transcoding is necessary when you want to:
change the codec
change the image size
change the bitrate of the stream
create multi-bitrate stream
We have listed all the major transcoding profiles, based on which your source stream can be transcoded. You can use this wide array of transcoding or customize these profiles based on your use.
- To edit the Preset Profile, GO TO Live Streams > Global settings > Profiles and Filters, make the required changes, and save the settings.
- Now go back to the Publishing Point for which the stream has to be transcoded by going to Live Streams > Push/Pull > MANAGE Button
- Click on Live Transcoding
Now you need to select the Transcoding type based on the source stream.
