libaom-av1 and SVT-AV1 transcoding setup with Nimble Streamer
Now with Nimble Streamer support for AV1, streaming services can easily adopt this advanced format to deliver high-quality content. Adding another significant piece into AV1 support, here we describe the transcoding options available for Nimble Streamer Live Transcoder: SVT-AV1 and libaom-av1 encoders are now supported via the respective FFmpeg encoder option.
Prerequisites
1. Decoding AV1 received streams
AV1 streams are supported as video input, and no extra setup steps are required. Just drag Video Source to a timeline, and specify the name of a stream for decoding. After that any of the Transcoder’s filters can be used on the stream.
2. Encoding with libaom-av1
Specifying libaom-av1 for encoding is not much different from any other encoders. Add the Video output to a timeline, name the output application, and stream, and then select FFmpeg as the encoder. Next, type in libaom-av1 in a Codec field. Once you click OK and then Save the scenario, the settings will be applied and you will get the output stream in AV1 format.
