Live Stream Transcoding output to Multicast

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hello,

I did not see a post about this, but I may have missed it. If a post already exists I apologize, but please point me in the right direction.

I am currently receiving a live stream over multicast and I am using the transcoder to deinterlace and transrate the video down to 512kb/s (from ~1mb/s). I’ve been able to get this to work where I go to {$streamname}_720p (default template configuration), but what I need to do is rebroadcast the transrated video over multicast. Is the transcoder, or any other wowza plugin, able to handle this?

Thank you,

Chris Long

Chris,

To publish multicast, take a look at this package:
