Zixi Broadcaster offers live transcoding, enabling users to create multiple bitrate streams from a single input stream. The transcoding converts the video and audio live streams to a variety of profiles and bitrates. SCTE-35 markers will be preserved by the transcoder. 

The transcoder is typically used in the following cases:

  • Where a target device does not support the source format.
  • Where a target has limited storage capacity that requires a reduced file size. 
  • To convert incompatible obsolete data to a better-supported or modern format.
  • You can add video (H.264, H.265, MPEG2, Raw) and audio (AAC, OPUS, Raw) profiles.

Transcoding is not currently supported in ARM builds of Zixi Broadcaster.


Transcoding Templates

Instead of manually selecting input streams to be transcoded, you can optionally define templates with rules for automatic transcoding of input streams according to the settings of a pre-defined Transcoding Template.
