How do I broadcast using an encoder?

To access the information needed to connect your encoder for the event, click the Media Encoder Settings  button in the Broadcast Controls area of the Live Studio. Your encoding device (e.g. Wirecast) will need to be setup to send a RTMP stream for broadcast.

Click Media Encoder Settings  to access the stream path(s), codec information and recommended stream settings. 

Copy and paste the Primary Stream URL from the  Encoder Settings  to your encoding device settings. Then, copy and paste the  Primary  Stream ID  into the stream setting of your encoder. Next, confirm that your encoding device is using the same settings as listed in the  Encoder Settings .  NOTE: Bit rate can be adjusted based on your requirements.

To add a redundant backup stream on the event, copy and paste the  Backup Stream URL  from the  Encoder Settings  to the secondary encoding device settings. Then, copy and paste the  Backup  Stream ID  into the stream setting of your encoder. Next, confirm that your secondary encoding device is using the same settings as listed in the  Encoder Settings .  NOTE: Bit rate can be adjusted based on your requirements.

Start your encoder to begin streaming to the Webcast Server. Once your encoder confirms a successful connection, click the  Preview Stream  button to view the stream(s). 

Connected  text will appear in the  Primary Stream  and/or  Backup Stream  boxes when a stream has been connected. Once the connection process is complete and you see your video in the Live Studio, click  Start Webcast to begin broadcasting your event.

To switch between the primary and backup streams during an event, click on the Primary Stream  or  Backup Stream  box. The box highlighted is green will appear in the  Broadcast Controls  window and is active on the presentation.
