Encoders

Hardware:

Viewcast GoStream, Viewcast Niagara 2200, Viewcast Niagara 4100, Viewcast
Niagara 9100, Viewcast GoStream Surf, Digital Rapids Streamz encoders, Digital
Rapids TouchStream (Web model), Haivision Kulabyte, Ncast Telepresenter M4 (uses
RTP), NewTek TriCaster Mini, NewTek TriCaster 410 and above series.  We would recommend speaking directly with the hardware manufacturer
prior to purchase to ensure the most recent models support H.264 Video encoding
and AAC audio encoding if mobile is required.

Software:

Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder, Xsplit, Xsplit Gamecaster, Wirecast, Vidblaster,
Open Broadcaster.  Any encoder supprting H.264 with AAC over RTMP should be
compatible with your NetroMedia Flash streaming service, if in doubt please
create a case with as much information about your encoder as possible and
NetroMedia will confirm compatiblity.

If you are interested in an encoder that is not listed here, please create a
case and provide us with the name and if possible documentation for your encoder
and NetroMedia can confirm stream compatiblity.
