Its core function is to realize live streaming aswell as video-on-demand, widely used in all walks of life. It features support for different [coding standards](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/145574/what-are-coding-standards-in-software-engineering) and [operating system](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/229069/operating-system-development) platforms, and provides an open SDK development kit. Detailed installation tutorial here is not introduced, you can click on the official wowza website\ \ **2.ENC2 Pro Video encoder hardware encoder**\ \ ENC2 Pro Video encoder hardware developed and produced independently by JLONvision is a 2 channel of 4K 60fps embedded video and audio hardware encoder,It is also a 1 channel decoder and can be converted into a 4 channel IP transcoder. It applies H 265 and H.264 encoding standard.\ \ Video encoder hardware connect to Wowza streaming Engine have two ways:\ \ **1. Connect a live source(from video encoder hardware ENC2 Pro) to Wowza Streaming Engine or we can call it video encoder live stream is pushed to wowza.\ 2. Connect a Stream File (from video encoder hardware ENC2 Pro) or we can call it Wowza pulls a live stream to publish from hardware video encoder** ![Wowza Streaming Enginepull RTSP live streaming from Video Encoder Hardware ENC2 Pro Application](https://www.mindstick.com/blogs/1c4a4d76-ba35-4d49-9133-6a520b8403c3/images/031bc893-458f-4bea-ae86-83778e1ac035.jpeg) **\** \ Firstly suppose the [live streaming](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/304637/how-live-streaming-is-beneficial-for-brands-and-their-businesses) address of our video encoder hardware ENC2 Pro is **rtsp://192.168.0.216/stream0**,We need to republish the live stream on the Wowza server, client live access to Wowza server to achieve [load balancing](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/158495/how-does-load-balancing-work-in-cloud-environments-and-why-is-it-important) function. Suppose we want to realize the broadcast address is: **rtsp://wong:123456@192.168.0.241:1935/sports/pull.steam**.
