Main features

Our software. Your hardware.

Wide support of media data

Accepts a wide range of input/output devices, streaming protocols and file types

Swiss army knife for conversion

Allows to transform between different codecs, bit rates, video resolutions, container formats and streaming protocols

Broadcast server functionality

Can share the data from inputs with multiple receivers based on different streaming formats and protocols

Tuned for performance

Optimized resource locking, buffering and multi-threading, GPU based video processing via direct usage of OS specific APIs

Developed for multi-streaming

Uses the capabilities of local GPUs and CPU cores, (re-)uses muxing and encoding instances for multiple outputs

Designed for usability

Allows to navigate through the stream setup by an intuitive usage of the GUI controls and eases the management of complex setups

Data monitoring

Provides real-time playback to observe the stream quality, shows stream parameters in real-time to check occurring value ranges and to identify processing problems during runtime

Performance monitoring

Allows to observe the consumption of local system resources in real-time to identify bottlenecks

Multiple flows and inputs

Multi-Streamer is based on flows, where each has one input
an input contains data from a local device/file or a received network stream
the total number of flows is not limited per Multi-Streamer instance

Multi-Streamer is based on flows, where each has one input
an input contains data from a local device/file or a received network stream
the total number of flows is not limited per Multi-Streamer

Multiple outputs

a flow in Multi-Streamer can have one or more independent output(s)
each output contains data for a local device/file or an outgoing network broadcast/stream
individual muxer and/or encoder settings can be configured
