The HTTP-Live-Streaming Success Guide

Encoding.com has launched the HLS Pro Feature Set, the world’s most advanced HTTP-Live-Streaming solution. HLS Pro provides far greater control of every HLS parameter, simplifying delivery to the broadest range of devices.

H.264 profiles Baseline, Main, and High can all be mapped based on individual device requirements.
HLS audio only streams can be created to expand device support even further, and Dolby’s HE-AAC codec provides superior audio quality at lower bitrates as compared to the open source libfacc codec.
Encoding.com’s HLS Pro also supports the creation of multiple audio streams so the best stream can be delivered on a device by device basis.
If Closed Captions are a requirement, HLS Pro supports the latest closed caption standards, WebVTT & CEA-608, ensuring accessibility.
