How to Conduct Multi-Bitrate Streaming Using Livebox?

Image
 T here are primarily two different ways to do adaptive bitrate streaming. One method is called Transcoding and the other method is using Multi bitrate streaming aka MBR. Transcoding is recommended in most cases since it is hassle-free and the conversion to multiple bitrates happens at the server end on the fly as you   stream . Also, it can be turned on with a click of a button for any channel. If your Livebox does not have transcoding enabled, contact the Livebox team to upgrade to a box with transcoding, Also, Check out our other articles about the transcoding to learn more about transcoding. As for  Multi bitrate streaming , it has to be manually streamed in multiple qualities from the encoder, be it a hardware or software encoder. Some encoders support streaming in multiple qualities and some encoders don’t. For some software encoders, you may need to open multiple instances of the encoder on your PC. As for hardware encoders, MBR can be used only if the hardware enc...

How to Conduct Transcoding Using Wirecast as an Encoder?

 Ad aptive bitrate   streaming   (Transcoding) is available only in the higher-end versions of Livebox. To conduct transcoding using Wirecast, Keep your streaming channels ready i.e., output channel and input channel. Now under  Manage Channels , go to  Transcoding .  A  Transcoding  page opens up and you can select your input channel by clicking the drop-down menu given in the “Select Channel” option. In  Output Channels , select the channel where the video has to be transcoded. Then give turn on near transcoding. Once you give the turn on, new options for transcoding shows up, where you can set the  Preset . And then click “Save”. Note:   Livebox will generate both Transcode Output URL and Transcode Embed Code. After clicking save, give  Service Restart  to get your changes applied. Go to Livebox and create your channel. Now go to the Wirecast main window, and click the icon to add your source. Many options to ...
