For live streaming it takes RTMP, RTSP, MPEG-TS, SRT, UDT and Icecast as input and produces MPEG-DASH,[7] HLS, RTMP, RTSP, MPEG-TS, SRT, UDT, SLDP and Icecast.[8] VOD is available as MP4 transmuxing to HLS and MPEG-DASH for both H.265 and H.264. HEVC is also supported for various live streaming protocols output.[9] MPEG-DASH output is supported in live and VOD modes.

Low Latency HLS is supported in Nimble Streamer[10] starting from version 3.6.3-3.[2]

The program also covers progressive download for multiple formats, with seeking capabilities for HTML5 and Flash playback.[15] HTTP re-streaming covers HLS, MPEG-DASH, HDS and SmoothStreaming. It can be used as a source for peer-to-peer media streaming.[16]

Live Transcoder for Nimble Streamer supports decoding, filtering and encoding for H.264, HEVC, MPEG2, MPEG4, VP8, VP9 video and AAC, MP3, MP2, Speex, PCM G.711 audio.[17]
