For that low of a resolution I'd just use ffmpeg. It's CPU bound but at that low of a resolution it doesn't matter.

This is also a pretty robust nginx plugin used to build the streams for use by a web player

https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module

Rereading your OP this is exactly what you are looking for, I think the capture card route is a red hearing if the video is already captured in a format ffmpeg can understand. You'd take the incoming stream use this nginx plugin and then need a JavaScript web-player to act as a front end for the video. Most of these have the ability to figure out what quality you can handle and downgrade gracefully.

There are also commercial options if you don't want to screw with compiling your own nginx, like wowza and SaaS options.
