Video Transcoding (Adaptive Bitrate Streaming)

Last updated 3 months ago

Video Transcoding

MediaCP offers support for Video Transcoding allowing you to broadcast live video in multiple qualities to your audience, saving on bandwidth while delivering the best possible quality streams to each user’s specific device

✅Nginx-Rtmp ✅ Wowza Streaming Engine ✅Flussonic

Important Information

Transcoding Profiles must be enabled by a reseller or administrator from the Service -> Configure -> Features/Wowza/Nginx-Rtmp tab.

 The video below will help you understand how to enable and configure Stream Transcoder within the MediaCP.

Transcoding video uses a lot of processing power, review our Transcoding Benchmarks for more information.

Configure Transcoding

Transcoding needs to be enabled and configured by an administrator or reseller from the configure page either in the features tab or the video server tab depending on the streaming server being used.

Eight resolutions are supported ranging from 160p to 4k as well as the option for a passthru/source profile to provide a non-transcoded option saving on system resources.

Test Your Server's Transcoding Capabilities

 
 
Transcoding requires a great amount of processing power and even powerful CPUs will struggle to perform with high quality transcoding. If your server cannot keep up you may see high CPU usage, video buffering, pausing, stopping, or outright not playing.
 
We have our own transcoding benchmarks to give you an idea the CPU load from transcoding on standard VPS’s. You can also complete testing on your own server to get an idea of how your CPU handles transcoding: Test Transcoding Performance
