Live Streaming Encoder - Your Choice!

Use our official partner Wirecast - leader in software-based live streaming encoders, ask our Streaming Media Consultants about recommended hardware encoders, or simply use the live streaming encoder you have been using before.

Just point your live encoder to one of our many SuperPOPs (our high-efficient access points), add the secure stream-key and - you're LIVE! In any bitrate and resolution you want. Control your bitrates straight from your live encoder and just watch your live-audience multiple overnight as we publish your live streams to all your websites, apps and platforms of your choice.

Lightcast.com Publishers have access to complimentary live streaming encoder coaching and testing.

The higher the resolution of live streams - the more critical transcoding & number of delivery nodes become.

4K & TV Quality Live Streaming Services

In order not to lose viewers, all 4K content needs to be optimized for fast loadability.

At the same time, viewers who are unable to load or sustain a 4K version without re-buffering need to be able to load lower bitrate versions of the stream.

Multi-bitrate delivery via global CDNs is critical in order to build and sustain growing viewerships.
