Transcoder settings

​

Introduction

Transcoder settings allow you to configure how your streams are processed by Motto before they are delivered to your viewers. You may want to stream your most beautiful content in 4K quality for an optimal viewing experience, while wanting to stream free-to-watch content only in 480p as a low-cost solution. Or you may wish to configure your streams so that they are processed at custom bitrates, key-frame intervals, etc. It’s all up to you.

​

Get Started

Currently, transcoder settings are available through the API; the Studio will be updated soon to support this feature.

To customize your transcoder settings, you need to follow these steps:

1. Create a transcoder configuration. Select the CONFIGURATION_TYPE_TRANSCODER_STREAMS type, and populate the transcoder_streams data field with your desired settings. Make sure to provide all the necessary data, otherwise the configuration may behave unexpectedly.

2. Attach a live-stream to the configuration object you created in step 1. You can attach as many live-streams (also called workflows) as you’d like to a single configuration, so you do not have to create a new configuration for each one.

You are now ready to start streaming with your custom transcoder settings!
