I have a 1080p HDMI video feed that I would like to connect to a webcam server to them allow the video feed to be embedded on a website.
The only feature I would really like is the ability to overlay a logo or image on top of the video feed.
If it's possible to add a bit of delay to the video, that'd be great too.
This is something that needs to be set and forget - it's not going to be in a location that is easily accessible so when turned on, needs to just work. Remote management would be awesome!
Can anyone recommend a product?

if you have a static IP, or don't need it outside of the local network, there is some Javascript to pull the feed from a cheap P2P IP Camera onto a website. The overlay etc not sure about.
We are looking to do something similar, I have played with a twitterbot with Raspberry PI, and I know you can use it to live stream on motion detection too. But not reached an affordable solution yet.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I already have the HDMI feed that I want to stream.We are looking to do something similar, I have played with a twitterbot with Raspberry PI, and I know you can use it to live stream on motion detection too. But not reached an affordable solution yet.

Have seen this, thank you, however I am not keen on something that runs on a windows box - this is going to be located off site and I don’t want to rely on the windows (un)reliability!You probably need a H.264 streaming media encoder.
Like this:-

about £2000 ex VAT
Plenty of other people make them, search H.264 encoder, cheap ones are low resolution and crash a lot. You need a lot of bandwidth for HD video and a lot of processing power to decode live streams in full HD at a decent frame rate. See the spec sheet on the Extron one.
Have fun.
