Example Simultaneous Output Capabilities (Single StreamZHD Live ABR)
The following tables provide some examples of the simultaneous outputs that can be created on a single StreamZHD Live ABR encoder with each adaptive streaming technology. Resolutions, frame rates, bit rates and compression parameters can be extensively customized, which may result in a higher or lower number of simultaneous outputs.

Apple iPhone/iPad HTTP Streaming
Multiple layers for HTTP streaming to Apple iPhone and iPad devices can be easily created while using only a small percentage of a StreamZHD Live ABR system’s processing power. Additional encodes can be performed concurrently while creating multiple iPhone and iPad outputs. |
