Hi,

I received my stream from source device in raw bytes and then I would like to retransmit it from my server to Wowza via TCP/IP. Is there a simply way to do that?

In order to ingest a live video/audio stream into your Wowza server, that stream needs to be encoded using a streaming protocol like RTMP, RTSP or MPEG-TS.

For a full list of supported protocols, you can take a look athte Wowza Streaming Engine Specifications page. [https://www.wowza.com/products/streaming-engine/specifications](https://www.wowza.com/products/streaming-engine/specifications)

Please see the “Live Streaming: Compatible Encoding Inputs” section.
