datarhei Restreamer
Ingest one stream, restream everywhere from a polished web UI.
datarhei Restreamer is an Apache-2.0 restreaming server that turns a single live input into many outputs through a clean, wizard-driven web interface.

Why run it on the NetActuate edge Placing Restreamer in a PoP near your encoder shortens the ingest hop, reducing jitter and dropped frames before the stream fans out to platforms and viewers. Edge delivery of the embedded HLS player keeps regional viewers close to the video, lowering startup time and rebuffering.
