Hello,
I want transcode (with wowza) live tv channels that coming from a DVB-S2 as raw streams (high bitrate).
As output protocol has the DVB-S2 Software, UDP and HTTP.
How can i receive with wowza udp or http, transcode the streams, and publish them again wit low bitrates ?
Is there any Tutoria for this ?
Kind regards

Hi,
Yes Wowza can accept a UDP source. You can [see examples in this article](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-publish-and-play-a-live-stream-mpeg-ts-based-encoder%28MPEG-TS-based-encoder%29). Essentially you create a stream file with a udp listener, which is constructed of an IP address (or all interfaces if set to udp://0.0.0.0) and a listener port.
Wowza can restream this [in various protocols](https://www.wowza.com/docs/understanding-streaming-protocols-and-output-file-formats). Note that the source needs to be H.264 in order to be playable, or if mpeg-ts then it can be transcoded to an H.264 output.
Best,
Salvadore
