3rd Party Transcoder for Adaptive Bitrate Stream

[chitownlounge]

Can I use a 3rd party transcoder to send adaptive bitrate stream to Livestream.com?

I can only record live at 1-1.5mbps bitrate. I want to send that to a transcoder on a remote server with higher bandwidth so it can then send the adaptive bitrates to Livestream.com.

Does Livestream.com allow this? I was considering using the Wowza transcoder for example.

I Guess I'm trying to achieve adaptive bitrate with only a 1-1.5mbps source stream (where the camera is) by using a middleman server with a transcoder and higher bandwidth.

chitownlounge,

Multi bit rate streaming to Original Livestream can only be done with Procaster (or Livestream plugin for Tricaster) at this time.

What about the New Livestream?

A representative from Wowza suggested maybe I could do an "RTMP push of each stream."

Would that work, or no?

How can I achieve adaptive bitrate streaming with the new Livestream.com? May I use the Livestream Broadcaster if I have 3-5 MBPs upload speed? May I use the Teradek Cube, i.e., 500? Any help is appreciated. Thanks
