IPTV Live Video Encoding & Streaming with Video Overlay

Text / Logo / Image / Video Overlay

During transcoding, it is possible to create customized text or image layer on the video. To do that, go to channel Advanced Video settings -> Overlay, either enter a text string or select a picture you prefer, and set the position to put it on the video.

Layer file can be any popular image or video formats, like jpg, png, gif, webp, mp4, mov, ts, etc. If you want the layer to be transparent, consider a .png or .gif layer file.

Dynamic layer is also possible, by selecting an animated gif layer file.

To overlay timestamp, enter %timestamp as overlay text.

Note: Video overlay works in CPU not GPU. Thus full GPU transcoding does not apply to channels with video overlay.

Hardcode/Burn DVB Subtitle on Video

If you want to hardcode or burn dvb subtitle on video stream, rather than passing it through as a separated stream, for example when streaming rtmp, it is possible by IPVTL Advanced Format settings -> Custom Param tab -> Target Parameters box, enter "-filter_complex '[0:v][0:s]overlay[v]' -map [v]".
