Goalbit Broadcaster Kit

When in broadcaster mode, Goalbit offers many possible configurations, as listed above:

  • Live Encoding and transcoding to multiple formats and protocols. Goalbit source code is based on VLC player's, and as a consequence it can use its available codecs to encode and transcode a video stream. For a more detailed list please visit the Video-Lan streaming features page.

  • Live video injector from multiple input media.

  • Free and Open-source software.

  • Multi platform (Linux, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS).

  • Multiple connections. As described in the Goalbit architecture article, a broadcaster can establish multiple connections with several super peers, connections may be madethrough multiple network links, balancing its output through them and adding robustness if any link fails.

  • Broadcast a playlist of stored video files.

  • Audio and Video edition on the fly: Digital Audio Equalization on the fly. Add video effects on the fly: deinterlace, cropping, image adjust, rotate/mirror, logo overlay, zoom/magnification, image distortion, RSS/Atom feeds.

  • Funny expressive options: annotations and image insertion into the live streaming. Generate Revenue with on-the-fly Video Ads: overlay and in-stream video ad.
