I had a chance recently to test out Digital Rapids' StreamLive encoder with multi-codec support and support for On2 VP6 Live streaming.  The heavy duty StreamZLive encoder has lots of features an adjustments for audio and video and provides high quality video output for your live streams.  The live streaming solution I tested was a a qualified turnkey system that makes life simple for those moving from on-demand streaming to live streaming.  The benefit of the StreamZLive turnkey solution is an individual doesn't have to set-up their own encoder and install video cards or a spec out a PC workstation to use for live streaming.  The turnkey StreamZLive solution, since it's qualified, is fully supported by Digital Rapids.  That's one of the advantages of purchasing a qualified live encoder.  The StreamZLive encoders also come with presets for streaming to Highwinds, Limelight and Akamai CDNs.  I also was able get live streaming to work with Internap's CDN using the their MediaConsole to streaming Live Flash video.  Be sure to check out some of Digital Rapids' live encoding tools when you get time.
