Video Input

Push/Direct input

Allows end users to upload media files, including videos and audio, directly into FastPix. The API generates an authenticated upload URL for client applications, allowing content to be uploaded straight from the device.

Direct uploads are typically used in client applications like native mobile apps and web browsers. However, they can also be utilized for server-side uploads or through command line tools.

Pull/CMS input

Users can ingest video content into their applications from external sources such as Content Management Systems (CMS) or via direct URLs. In this case, manual intervention is not really needed and the content can be uploaded directly by the CMS. If content is publicly available via SFTP, HTTP, or HTTPS, you can provide this URL to FastPix using the Create Media API.

RTMP live input

The RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol) Live Input feature allows you to stream live video content directly to an RTMP endpoint. RTMP is known for its ability to broadcast high-quality live video and audio smoothly over the internet. With this feature, you can connect your live streaming equipment or software to an RTMP server, ensuring a smooth and professional live streaming experience.

Just-in-time encoding

Just-In-Time encoding (JIT) is a method where video content is encoded and packaged almost real-time, just before delivery to the viewer. Unlike traditional encoding, where videos are pre-encoded into various formats and stored on server, JIT encoding processes the video content only when the first viewer requests the video. This way, the viewer can playback instantly after upload. Henceforth, for succeeding viewers, the playback happens from the previously encoded video.

Context-Aware Encoding

Context-Aware Encoding, also known as per-title encoding, is a feature in video streaming APIs that optimizes the encoding process based on the specific characteristics of each video. This ensures the best possible quality and efficiency for video playback, enhancing the overall viewing experience.

Sprite Sheets are a collection of thumbnail images extracted from a video at regular intervals. These images are compiled into a single sheet, providing a visual summary of the video content. This feature enhances the user experience by enabling quick previews and efficient navigation through video content.

Web hooks

Webhooks are a way for applications to communicate with each other automatically when certain events occur. Webhooks allow external applications to receive real-time notifications about specific events, such as video uploads, processing completions, or playback starts. When an event is triggered, the Video API sends an HTTP POST request to a pre-configured URL with detailed information about the event.
