When using cloud encoding with Media Services, you would configure your on-premises live encoder to send a single bitrate video as the contribution feed (up to 32Mbps aggregate) to the Live Event (using RTMP or fragmented-MP4 input protocol). The Live Event transcodes the incoming single bitrate stream into [multiple bitrate video streams](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_bitrate_streaming) at varying resolutions to improve delivery and makes it available for delivery to playback devices via industry standard protocols like MPEG-DASH, Apple HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), and Microsoft Smooth Streaming.
