Can Core work with third party software or hardware encoders?

The Core service is compatible with specific Teradek hardware and software encoders, see this article for a list of devices.

With the new Helios engine (see FAQ), streams from third party software or hardware encoders can be received in RTMP, MPEG-TS (over UDP or TCP), or SRT. Refer to the FAQ on the new Core 2.0 for more information on the Helios engine.
