Encode/Transcode in FastoCloud

Description:

Transcode is a change video/audio stream from the source to the new destination, used in IPTV to hide original source. Can be Hardware encoders and Software:

In FastoCloud now we have 4 encode types:

  • Live encode origin stream is the live source (http/https/srt/webrtc)
  • Channel on-demand encode same like previous but start restreaming only by request (hls) need to save resources and resellers connections in IPTV
  • Changer encode it is master/backup streams the idea to change sources in realtime (Better to have same resolution/codecs/framerate)
  • VOD encode used to convert mp4/mov/mkv vice versa or to hls(some players can play only hls streams)

Settings:

  • Input can be: http/rtmp/srt/webrtc/file some special format urls

  • Output can be: http/rtmp/srt/webrtc/file some special format urls

  • Audio codec, you need to select codec which you want to have in output destination

  • Video codec, you need to select codev which you want to have in output destination

  • After stream settings are ready need to press save (stream should appears in Stream/VODS/Changer combobox)

Streaming:

To start to encode/transcode need to press start, if the stream will be in the streaming state (all other states means that stream is not in playing state) you can see video/audio on your output destination if an error happens please use logs buttons to adjust settings according to your stream source
