- H.264, MPEG1, MPEG2 and MPEG4 input and output
- H.265 input via MPEG-TS, SRT and RTSP with output via MPEG-DASH, RTSP, SRT, MPEG-TS and HLS
MPEG2TS streaming in Nimble Streamer
Nimble Streamer takes MPEG2-TS via UDP and HTTP to make outgoing media streams in various formats. UDP can be used as both unicast and multicast. Nimble supports multicast source IP according to RFC4607 SMM.
Playlists import is supported for multiple channels.
Enhanced interleaving compensation can be set up in case when your audio and video are unsynchronized.
Both LATM and ADTS AAC headers are supported.
Codecs
Video:
- AAC input and output is supported via all protocols
- AC3 and E-AC3 input via MPEG-TS and RTSP, output via MPEG-TS, RTSP and HLS
- MP3 input and output via all protocols
Producing HLS and MPEG-DASH from MPEG2TS
Nimble Streamer transmuxes incoming MPEG2-TS into HLS and DASH streams.
MPEG2TS UDP delivery
Nimble Streamer allows delivering existing MPEG2TS by both existing transport methods.
- Produce single multi-program MPEG2-TS UDP stream from up to 256 RTMP, RTSP and MPEG2-TS incoming streams.
- Mux rate for constant bitrate (CBR) can be set for UDP to handle DVB/ATSC hardware with 100% PCR accuracy, 0ns PCR drift and PCR interval <20ms.
- Both unicast and multicast output delivery methods are supported.
- SDT (Service Description Table) is supported.
- SCTE-35 markers passthrough is supported for MPEG-TS and HLS.
- SCTE-35 markers from MPEG-TS stream can be used for Nimble Advertizer ads insertion.
MPEG2TS playback
Nimble Streamer allows playing live streams via HTTP MPEG2TS.
You can set it up using this scenario along with other output protocols.
Recording
Nimble Streamer has DVR feature set which allows recording of any MPEG-TS live streams for further playback via HLS and MPEG-DASH.
Re-package between live protocols.
Same transmuxing engine allows re-packaging MPEG-TS content from and into the following protocols.
Hot swap
Hot swap capabilities allow switching between source origin and substitute streams with no glitches or artifacts:
- Emergency hot swap to cover cases like U.S. Emergency Alert System.
- Failover hot swap to show tuning table or other active channel in case the stream goes down.
H.265/HEVC support
Nimble has HEVC support for MPEG-TS as output. As a source, you can use RTSP, SRT, and MPEG-TS over UDP and TCP besides H.264.
Aliasing
Stream aliases are available for making flexible security settings and statistics.
Easy installation and upgrade
Nimble Streamer can be installed in a couple of small steps and upgraded to the latest version by running two or three simple commands in console.
