LIVE ENCODER
Live Event Sreaming
Only pay for what you use. Power your live events globally with unbeatable reliability and quality that scales.
Scaling to meet your Live needs while driving cost efficiency
Leverage flexible cloud infrastructure that enables you to scale from 1-1000’s of live events for peak capacity needs, without having to pay the Live Encoders when they are idle and not in use. This allows customers to have access to Live Encoders available during prime time and distributed across multiple locations worldwide, for a few hours each weekend, without investing in banks of hardware that sits idle for the rest of the week. This model can result in significant savings and provide flexibility as you ramp up your live cadence.
Why a reliable encoder matters for your live streams
Reliability and resiliency are crucial for successful live event streaming. Viewers expect a seamless experience without interruptions or quality drops. Using an open-source or commercial option that isn’t built for every use case can frustrate viewers and harm your brand. A dependable live encoder ensures your content is secure and streaming well, keeping your audience engaged and helping you retain your subscribers.
