Telestream Lightspeed Live Stream | Live Multiscreen Encoding, Packaging and Deployment
Multiscreen Encoding with Access to Vantage Workflow
Telestream Lightspeed Live Stream is an enterprise-class live streaming system. It can ingest, encode, package and deploy multiple sources to multiple destinations. Lightspeed Live Stream provides exceptional quality and adaptive bitrate encoding for SD, HD, UHD sources into AVC (H.264) and HEVC (H.265). Thanks to a mixture of hardware and software this system combines multiple CPU/GPU cores as well as targeted ASIC CODEC acceleration to deliver flexible and efficient encoding performance.
Output can be delivered via RTMP to platforms such as YouTube and Facebook, as well as ATS, HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), MPEG DASH, and CMAF packages and MP4/MP3 files. Different options for packaging are integrated HLS, MPEG DASH, and CMAF. As for the security of the stream, encryption and DRM of output streams is also supported. With regards to the delivery Lightspeed Live can deploy via RTMP, ATS, SRT local origin, to CDNs and OVPs (online video platforms).
