Receiving and Decoding

The Decoding function in MK.IO Beam allows you to ingest and decode incoming contribution feeds so they can be processed or transformed within your workflow. It supports a range of input formats and transport methods, converting them into a usable form for downstream live encoding or packaging operations.

You configure this functionality through the Receiver service in the MK.IO Beam interface. From there, you can define input sources, connection parameters, and decoding options, while the system manages the underlying processing automatically. This provides a simple, guided way to bring live content into MK.IO Beam without needing to manage low-level decoding workflows.

The following sections describe how to use a Receiver service within the MK.IO Beam server.
