Standard Live Ingest Profiles

In this topic, you will learn about the properties of the standard Live ingest profiles that are provided with the Live module.

Introduction

When creating live events using the Live module, you must select a Live ingest profile which determines the number and quality of the renditions created by Brightcove Live. This topic provides detailed information on each of the Standard Live ingest profiles.

It is also possible to create your own custom Live ingest profiles. For information, see Creating Custom Live Ingest Profiles.
