Kaltura Live Supported Encoders

Kaltura Live Supported Encoders

Kaltura Live can receive RTMP inputs from almost every encoder that supports RTMP. Some of the popular encoders that may be used are:

• OBS - Open Broadcaster Software
• Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder (FMLE)
• Telestream Wirecast

We also support SRT to ingest video stream for a live broadcast. Use KMC or liveStream.get API call to get endpoints URLs and stream IDs for the primary and the backup SRT streams. To enable end to end AES-128 encryption for the SRT stream just set the passphrase found in the liveStream object using the API.

The following encoders were not tested by Kaltura, but have been used successfully by our customers:

• Elemental Live 
• Envivio Muse
• Teradek VidiU/Cube
• NewTek Tricaster
• Matrox Monarch
• Haivision Makito X
• Haivision KB Series
• Wowza GoCoder
• Hauppauge

If you have a different encoder, please refer to the Kaltura Live Stream Requirements Guide and configure your encoder accordingly.
