Ingest Method Selection

Ingest Method Selection

Push from Your Encoder

Your encoder sends the feed directly to Tenbyte. Compatible with OBS, vMix, Wirecast, and any hardware encoder. You get a unique Server URL and Stream Key for each enabled protocol.
  • Enable RTMP, SRT, or both under Push protocols — you get a separate stream key for each.

Pull from a Source

Tenbyte connects to your stream URL and pulls the feed automatically. No encoder configuration needed on your end — just make sure the source URL is publicly reachable.
  • Supported pull protocols: SRT, RTSP, RTMP, and UDP.
For a plain-English comparison of all protocols, see the FAQs.
