Tenbyte Live Streaming is Tenbyte’s end to end live broadcast infrastructure that gives developers and media teams full control over stream ingest, real-time transcoding, multi-rendition delivery, and playback. It replaces fragmented live video setups with a single, reliable pipeline built for low-latency broadcasting at any scale.

Live Streaming Offers

​
1. Flexible Ingest

Accept live feeds via RTMP, SRT, RTSP, or UDP — whether pushed from an encoder like OBS or pulled from an existing source URL.

​
2. HLS & DASH Output

Tenbyte packages your stream into adaptive HLS and MPEG-DASH formats, ready for playback on any device, browser, or player.

​
3. Multi-Rendition Transcoding

Every stream is transcoded into multiple quality rungs simultaneously. Viewers are automatically served the best rendition for their device and connection speed.

​
4. Linear Live & Live Event Modes

Run a 24/7 linear channel for always-on broadcasting, or schedule a Live Event for one-time broadcasts — all from the same interface.

​
5. Push & Pull

When creating a live stream, the first decision is how your video feed reaches Tenbyte. There are two ways: you push the feed out from your encoder, or Tenbyte pulls it from a source URL you already have.
PushPull
Who initiatesYour encoder connects to TenbyteTenbyte connects to your source
ProtocolsRTMP, SRTSRT, RTSP, RTMP, UDP
Encoder requiredYes — OBS, vMix, hardware encoderNo — any reachable stream URL
Stream key neededYes — one per protocolNo — just a source URL
Best forBroadcasting from a local machine or studioRe-streaming an existing feed, IP cameras, satellite links
Network controlYou control when the feed startsTenbyte starts pulling when the stream is activated
Use Push if you are broadcasting from OBS, vMix, or any hardware encoder sitting on your network. It is the most common setup and works out of the box with any standard broadcasting software. Use Pull if you already have a live stream running somewhere — for example an IP camera, a broadcast encoder publishing to a local RTSP server, or an upstream feed from another provider. Tenbyte will connect to it directly so you do not need to reconfigure your source.

​
6. Custom Renditions Ladder

Add custom rungs with full control over resolution, codec, bitrate, GOP, CRF, FPS, and audio settings to match your exact delivery requirements.

​
7. Webhook Events

Receive real-time POST notifications for every stream lifecycle event — signed with so you can verify authenticity and trigger downstream workflows automatically.

​
8. CDN-Ready Origin URLs

Every stream produces clean HLS/DASH origin URLs ready to be pointed at a CDN distribution for global, low-latency delivery to your viewers.

​
9. Powerful API Control

Create, update, start, and stop streams programmatically via the Tenbyte API — integrate live streaming directly into your platform without touching the dashboard.
Tenbyte Live Streaming gives you a complete live broadcast pipeline — from encoder to viewer — so you can focus on your content, not your infrastructure.
