In an example embodiment, there is described herein an apparatus comprising an upstream communication interface configured to receive a multicast stream from a source encoded by a first codec, a downstream communication interface, and routing and transcoding logic coupled to the upstream communication interface and downstream communication interface. The routing and transcoding logic is configured to forward the multicast stream encoded by the first codec unchanged to a first downstream subscriber of the multicast stream. The routing and transcoding logic is configured to replicate the multicast steam and transcode the multicast stream to a second codec for a second downstream subscriber, the replicated, transcoded multicast stream is forwarded to the second downstream subscriber. |
