Notes

  • To read more about a particular CDN service please refer to its documentation (link in the comparison table).
  • To create a CDN HTTP Live service you need to create a Publishing Point first.
  • To create a CDN Static Push service you need to create a CDN Storage first.
  • To transcode a MP4 file to HLS stream with the CDN Static Push service please use its CDN Storage's Web File Manager.
  • To enable adaptive bitrate and multi-bitrate delivery, publish your video or live stream in multiple bitrates. To generate multiple output bitrates automatically from a single input stream, use CDN HTTP Live configured with RTMP Push.
  • To read more about how to use a CDN Static service for HLS streaming please refer here.
