We recently acquired the Teradek Prism encoder, and when streaming to Wowza we get audio but no video.

When streaming to the same Wowza instance with a Teradek Cube, we get video + audio as expected.

We’ve tried this on **4.8.13** and **4.8.20** , with the same result.

Some of the errors we’re seeing are

Hmmm… that’s interesting since we do support the Teradek Prism. Can you tell me the following:

1. What is the protocol you are using? RTMP? SRT? MPEG?
2. Are you sending a 4K stream?
3. What version of Java are you using?

I will look for your reply.

Something within the source settings Wowza is not liking. e.g. H.264 profile range compared to frame size and resolution. Please open a support ticket with a screenshot of the Teradek settings (resolution, H.264 profile, video/audio bitrates), stream name in question, if you are transcoding, WSE conf/logs/transcode template/ for support to review).

- RTMP
- Not 4K. I’ve tried 720 + 1080
- Java Version 9.0.4 Java VM Version 9.0.4+11

i think this is the problem, but I see you have a ticket in and it will get assigned today: You need to have a minimum of Java 11 for Engine 4.8.20. I know you mentioned issues in a different version though so tech support will troubleshoot this accurately.

**Java support:** Wowza Streaming Engine 4.8.20 is built on Java 11 ( **OpenJDK Java SE JRE 11.0.2** ), but can be used with Java versions 11 - 12. For more information, see [Manually install and troubleshoot Java on Wowza Streaming Engine](https://www.wowza.com/docs/manually-install-and-troubleshoot-java-on-wowza-streaming-engine).

Unfortunately, this error can be thrown for more than one reason which makes it difficult to diagnose in the forums.

If updating your Java doesn’t work Bryce, I see that tech support has sent you some troubleshooting tips in your ticket to see if it’s a problem with your encoder itself connecting to Wowza although we do support that model.

After talking to Teradek and rolling back the firmware a few versions, this seems to be resolved.

So I believe they’re working on a fix, although still not sure what the root cause of the issue is.

I saw that in the ticket, so glad you brought this to our attention and hope it gets resolved to go back to the newer version of the firmware.
