Chapter 4 – Basic Use Case: SDI to Streams
Encoding
Creating a Pipeline to Encode Incoming
Uncompressed SDI to Streams
This chapter guides you through the basic steps for using BRIDGE LIVE to quickly
set up a stream that encodes uncompressed SDI to H.262, H.264, H.265 or JPEG
2000. The steps below use mostly default settings. More detailed information
about configuration options is included in
"Chapter 7 BRIDGE LIVE Features and
Interface Deep Dive" on page 72
.
Identifying Your Encoding Requirements
As you go through the steps in this chapter, you will make choices regarding
transport streams, protocols, and codecs to meet your encoding requirements.
These choices dynamically impact which specific sets of configuration options
become available as you go through the process of building a pipeline.
Before you begin, consider which of the following components match your
requirements:
Transport Streams
Protocols
Codecs
MPEG-TS
RTMP/S* (output only)
NDI
MPEG-TS PCR only
RTP/UDP
UDP
SRT
HLS
H.262
H.264
H.265
JPEG 2000**
NDI
*RTMP/S works only with H.264.
**The JPEG 2000 I/O is available through an optional license that can be
purchased and downloaded for installation.
