Hi,
Based on the transcoding which is a high CPU intensive process, you’re going to need a high spec server to get the number of servers required to the lowest amount possible.
Please see our Wowza Transcoder AddOn Performance Benchmark which should give you an idea on how many servers you will require based on the number of transcodes. I recommend they are at least to the minimum spec which can be found in the “System Requirements” which can be found Here.
You’re wanting to push 60 streams and have provided 4 bitrates which would indicate 15 inbound streams for transcoding, however if the inbound stream is already 2000 kbps and the correct codec (H.264/AAC) you may need less outbound streams from the transcoder itself.
Please see the Transcoder tutorial for configuration details, note that the Wowza transcoder do not transcode video on demand content and is for live streaming only.
You will also need to take a look at our nDVR tutorial for reference when configuring the application.
We have a choice of DRM options which can be found in our DRM Overview article
For recording in segments you can use our HTTPLiveStreamRecord which is built-in to Wowza Streaming Engine 4.
When configuring the application you can choose which player types are going to be allowed to play the streams.
Our Price list shows the additional costs for the premium AddOns
Delaying a live stream is something which can be done by adding the recording of the original to a Stream Schedule.
To do this programmatically you may need to contact a consultant for assistance.

Jason
Hi, i have significant experience in re-streaming many channels taking into account CDN building and more.
so if you’re interested, contact me: rshmelev [at] gmail {dot} com
60 channels of Live Streaming? 1 powerful server should be enough to accept all channels and restream.
you didn’t mention amount of audience.
If we’re talking about transcoding, then things dramatically change… you may need 6+ servers for transcoding.
for delayed streaming of 60 channels you’ll need some SSD also.
anyways please write to rshmelev [at] gmail {dot} com to continue this discussion.
