incoming h265 + transcode h264

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

hi,

I would like to know if wowza is able to ingest a h265 stream then transcode it in h264 to be playable in website (flash) by exemple.

I ask that cause h265 uses less bandwidth than h264 for same quality so if I can win (in my case) bandwidth on the place where I send stream, that would be great.

Thanks

nicolas

PS : do you know a hardware (SDI in) able to stream in h265 to wowza ? I already sent a request to teradek.

Hello there.

Yes we can do this, you will need an h265 stream available via mpegts. I dont believe there is any other mechanism (currently) to get H265 into Wowza at the moment.

Thank you.
