Here is a brief overview of the technical specifications and supported formats for the Producer.
Live stream sources
Live streams | Type | Resolution and bitrate | Video codec | Audio codec |
Up to 12 input live streams | RTMP, HLS, SRT, Zixi, RIST, RTP and RTP-FEC | Up to 1920x1080 resolution @20Mbps bit rate | H.264, H.265, VP8, VP9, QuickTime Animation (QuickTime RLE) | AAC, MP3 |
📕 Note: Grabyo supports 4:2:0 Chroma subsampling (colour space) for live sources.
📕 Note: Interlaced sources can be sent in, processed through the Producer, and then sent on, still interlaced, to a broadcast playout system.
✅ Tip: The recommended method for sending interlaced content is to use interlaced/progressive-to-interlaced output. We do not recommend using interlaced-in to progressive-out as a Producer workflow.

Up to 4 live audio streams (this includes any other video live streams) | Audio-only files are supported | RTMP, HLS, SRT, Zixi, RIST, RTP and RTP-FEC and MP3 | MP3, AIFF, WAV, MP4, FLAC |
