Hello,

I’ve been trying out your software with a trial license for a couple of days now. I have a question about image overlays using the transcoder. In all of my encoding templates I have removed all image overlays, but there is still a visible wowza image logo on some of the transcoded streams. Is this a forced overlay because I am using the trial version, or am I missing some setting here ?

Kind regards,

Kashiro

Hi,

Yes this is a watermark that is only present while using non-paid licenses, such as the Trial and Developer licenses.

You may also notice an audio watermark in the form of tones increasing in pitch.

Neither of these will be present should you move to a paid license.
