The following prerequisites should be met before attempting any of the following instruction.

• Acquire access to a Haivision KB encoder, running software version 5.0.1 or greater.

• Ensure there is a Streaming Endpoint running. For more information, see Manage Streaming Endpoints in a Media Services Account.

• Install the latest version of the Azure Media Services Explorer (AMSE) tool.

• Launch the tool and connect to your AMS account.

• A good rule of thumb when determining bandwidth requirements is to double the streaming bitrates. While this is not a requirement, it will help mitigate the impact of network congestion.
