Deliver the best possible viewing experience on all iOS devices

HTTP Live Streaming is an adaptive bitrate protocol that allows players to dynamically adjust video quality based on available bandwidth speeds. With adaptive bitrate technology like HTTP Live Streaming, players automatically adjust video quality based on available bandwidth, giving your users the best possible viewing experience.

Transcode live streaming video into HLS

The Zencoder Live Cloud Transcoding API delivers adaptive bitrate streaming from a single RTMP origin stream. Create up to 20 output streams in the cloud to deliver an optimal experience to the audiences across web and mobile devices.

Get your video application accepted to the App Store

Apple requires that applications in the App Store use HTTP Live Streaming when publishing video that is longer than 10 minutes or larger than 5 MB. Many app publishers have had their applications removed from the App Store for using single-bitrate MP4 video instead of HLS.

Save up to 12% on your storage and CDN bills with optimized MPEG TS

Zencoder uses optimized MPEG TS segmenting for HTTP Live Streaming when preparing video files for iOS delivery. The result is 10-12% smaller file sizes than other cloud and traditional encodinging providers, meaning instant savings on streaming and storage costs.

Protect your content with AES Encryption

Zencoder offers 128-bit AES Encryption to ensure your content is secure. We can even rotate encryption keys for an added layer of security.

Make your video accessible with Closed Captions

Zencoder supports translation of closed captioning formats for HLS video and CEA-608 caption tracks embedded in MP4 files.

Transmux existing H.264 files for Apple iOS devices

Zencoder can package existing H.264 files into MPEG TS segments for iOS delivery, without having to re-encode the video files.
