Hardware appliance-based live encoding with profile-driven event creation, multi-destination output, and lifecycle orchestration through Streamcake.
Streamcake integrates with AWS Elemental Live hardware appliances to manage the full lifecycle of live video encoding events. Profile templates stored on the appliance drive event creation with automatic ingest URL injection, while optional secondary outputs route to additional RTMP or Zixi destinations. Full workflow control covers event creation, start, stop, and deletion, supported by real-time status monitoring and shared stream input resources for multi-stream production environments.
