Norsk Studio FAQ
Norsk Studio is a multi-source live streaming workflow builder that allows users to create complex live video workflows using an intuitive drag-and-drop interface. It’s ideal for media professionals, broadcasters, and developers who need a flexible, real-time solution for video streaming, encoding, and delivery to a content delivery network or other distribution platform.
Norsk Studio supports a variety of input sources, including SRT, RTMP, and UDP. These protocols allow for reliable and low-latency streaming, making them suitable for live broadcasts, remote productions, and multi-platform streaming setups.
Yes, Norsk Studio fully supports adaptive bitrate streaming. By setting up an encoding ladder, you can provide multiple quality levels that automatically adjust based on network conditions, ensuring a smoother experience for viewers.
To create an encoding ladder, add a fixed ladder encoder to your pipeline, configure each “rung” with the desired resolution and bitrate, and connect your source to the encoder. The encoder will generate multiple output streams with different quality levels for adaptive bitrate streaming.
You can configure various encoding parameters, including resolution, bitrate, codec (such as H.264), frame rate, and keyframe interval. These settings allow you to optimize stream quality and adapt to different network and device conditions.
Norsk Studio offers multiple output options, including WebRTC (WHEP), CMAF, and traditional HLS/DASH adaptive streaming formats. This flexibility allows you to reach viewers on various devices and networks with optimal quality.
Yes, Norsk Studio provides real-time control over your workflows. You can switch between sources, adjust encoding parameters, and monitor stream performance directly from the dashboard, ensuring a seamless streaming experience.
The source switcher in Norsk Studio allows you to choose between multiple input sources dynamically. Simply add a source switcher component to your pipeline, connect multiple input sources, and set a default source or switch manually as needed.
Yes, Norsk Studio provides professional stream quality assurance tools that let you track metrics such as bitrate, latency, resolution, and stream health. This enables professional streaming quality moderating so you can ensure your content meets viewer expectations and allows for quick troubleshooting if issues arise.
Yes, Norsk Studio offers WebRTC (WHEP) output, which is ideal for low-latency streaming. This enables near real-time video delivery, making it suitable for interactive applications, live events, and remote productions.
Once you’ve built a workflow, you can save it within Norsk Studio for future use. Configurations can also be exported as YAML files, which allows you to transfer your custom live streaming workflow templates to other instances or easily recreate workflows.
Norsk Studio lets you build your own multi-DRM live streaming workflow solution, providing features such as SRT with encryption and secure WebRTC (WHEP) outputs to protect your streams. Several 3rd-party DRM options can be added as processing components; additional content protection measures may depend on the specific output protocols and your configuration.
Yes, CMAF outputs in Norsk Studio can be configured to send segmented streams to cloud storage solutions, allowing you to store, archive, or later repurpose your recorded streams.
Norsk Studio's REST API live stream workflow integration enables programmatic control over your workflows. This is useful for automated pipeline creation, monitoring, and real-time adjustments. Check the official documentation for details on API endpoints and usage.
