LIVE ENCODER BY CEF
The Future of Professional Video Encoding is in the Cloud. At CEF Technology, we believe that high-quality video transmission should be agile, accessible, and instantaneous. Live Encoder by CEF is our latest Innovations-as-a-Service (PaaS) platform, specifically engineered to bridge the gap between your local video source and a global audience. Whether you are managing an IP camera, a professional NDI®/HX stream, or a simple USB camera, Live Encoder transforms your hardware into a powerful broadcast node without the need for complex infrastructure.
Redefining the Edge
Beyond Hardware Limitations
For years, professional SRT transmission required significant upfront investment in dedicated hardware encoders. These "black boxes" often come with high CapEx, steep learning curves, and the constant headache of port forwarding and manual configuration. They lack portability and become obsolete as protocols evolve. Live Encoder by CEF changes the equation. By moving the heavy lifting to our 100% cloud-based architecture, we eliminate the traditional barriers to entry:
Key Features
Multi-Source Versatility: Supports signal ingestion from USB and IP cameras, local UDP/RTSP streams, and NDI®/HX sources.
Automated SRT Orchestration: Features preconfigured streams that automatically connect to CDN entry points upon login, managing protocol handshakes internally.
Instant Preview Mode: Includes a low-latency window to verify source resolution and quality prior to broadcasting.
Secure Token Authentication: Utilizes a "One Token, One Device" protocol to protect the streaming pipeline from unauthorized access.
Ecosystem Integration: Functions as a gateway to advanced services available in our CDN, while providing HLS output for immediate testing.

Scalability at Your Fingertips
Live Encoder by CEF is more than just an encoder; it is your entry point into the world-class delivery infrastructure of CEF Technology. We invite you to experience the freedom of cloud-native encoding. Start small, test your workflows in real-time, and when you are ready to reach thousands of concurrent viewers or distribute hundreds of channels, our global CDN network is ready to scale with you.
The easiest way to go Live!
The Live Encoder by CEF simplifies professional broadcasting by replacing complex hardware with a streamlined, cloud-native workflow accessible through any standard web browser. By connecting cameras to a browser-based webapp, the service automatically transmits live feeds to the CEF global CDN, where the stream is instantly processed and prepared for high-capacity distribution. This flexible architecture allows users to start with small-scale real-time testing and seamlessly scale to reach thousands of concurrent viewers across diverse endpoints, including OTT apps, websites, broadcast stations, cable operators, and hospitality systems.
