How AI is used

Wowza Streaming Engine is a media server software used to build video streaming infrastructure. It allows users to ingest video from various sources, process it through transcoding, and deliver it to endpoints using industry-standard protocols.

The tool is intended for solution builders and organizations that need a flexible backbone for video workflows, including public safety, government monitoring, live sports, and OTT services.

It supports various deployment models, including on-premises, hybrid, edge, and cloud environments. Security features include AES-128 encryption and Multi-DRM support.

Buyers should confirm whether they have the technical resources to manage a self-hosted server, as the Streaming Engine is a customizable tool that may require more configuration than a fully managed cloud service.
