Media Recording

Two Media Players

Adding recorded material to your program is quick and easy. Import all popular media formats, including H.264 as well as MP3 & WAV audio. Build playlists, loop clips, and auto-play on transition. Trim clips down for broadcast, and quickly scrub to find exactly what you’re looking for. If a clip does not match your project settings, the built in transcoder will convert the file to match.

Integrated Live Streaming Encoder

Unlike most broadcast quality production switchers, Livestream Studio™ comes with a built-in H.264/AAC multi-bitrate live streaming encoder. You can stream HD video directly to Livestream, UStream, YouTube Live or any RTMP compatible server or CDN (Wowza Media Server, Akamai, Flash Media Server). Now supports ZiXi streaming protocol and 1080p streaming when using custom quality settings.

Stream to Any Device

Livestream supports simultaneous output to desktop browsers, Roku® connected TVs, iOS™ and Android™ devices. Invisible to the end user, this is achieved through a combination of Flash®, adaptive bitrate HLS and RTSP streaming protocols.

Live Video Output

Output your live program via SDI or HDMI to large format in-venue screens (iMag), broadcast networks or to complement your workflow using external video hardware such as graphics generators, encoders and recorders.

Converter
