Example Simultaneous Output Capabilities (Single StreamZHD Live ABR)

The following tables provide some examples of the simultaneous outputs that can be created on a single StreamZHD Live ABR encoder with each adaptive streaming technology. Resolutions, frame rates, bit rates and compression parameters can be extensively customized, which may result in a higher or lower number of simultaneous outputs.
