Quickchannel supports live ingesting using RTMP video and in theory you should be able to use any encoder that can ingest RTMP video. You can find examples on how to use a few different encoders in Streaming to a live channel article.

In practice Quickchannel recommends the following encoders:

• Open Broadcaster Software
• Screen9 iPhone and iPad App
• mimoLive
• Telestream wirecast
• Teradek

We're not recommending using NewTek TriCaster because of possible insufficient broadcast bandwidth which may cause signal drops on live-mirror transmissions.
