In the RTMP days, the highest quality setting in the viewer was always a straight pass through from the broadcaster, and the reduced versions were transcoded in the data center to fit down lower-bandwidth last-mike pipes.

Same in the HLS days. What used to be called “source” was just a remux from rtmp to ts.

Gotcha. For whatever reason, I had forgotten about lower-bandwidth copies.
