Stream Parameters

The following table lists the Kraken Stream parameters:

Stream ParameterDescription/Values
NameEnter a unique name for the stream.
Mode

Select the stream routing mode: See Configuring Streams.

  • Transcoder (default): The Input will be transcoded to one or more Outputs.
  • Transcoder + Passthru: The Input will be transcoded and also re-transmitted to another destination.
  • Bypass: The Input will not be transcoded, but simply copied (as is) to the Outputs.

Note

  • Bypass mode supports RTSP in addition to TS/UDP and TS/SRT input stream types. Bypass mode may be used to transmux RTSP input to TS/UDP or TS/SRT output.
  • Bypass supports multiple outputs whereas Passthru supports only one.
  • RTSP inputs may be configured with Transcoder or Bypass Mode.
  • Mode is restricted to "Bypass" when an RTMP input and/or output is selected.
Input

Select the Input for the stream. The available named inputs will appear in the dropdown menu, and include labels indicating the input type.

Passthru Output(Mode must be Transcoder + Passthru) Select the Output for the re-transmitted stream.
Transcoder(Mode cannot be Bypass) Select the Transcoder to apply to the stream.
Output

Select the output(s) for the transcoded or bypassed stream. Applied outputs appear as tags below the Output field. 


When configuring steam outputs, you can:

  • Click the Add Output field and enter text matching the name of any configured output to select it, or, select any of the available Outputs from the drop-down list. 
  • Select multiple outputs from the list to apply to the same stream. 
  • Click one or multiple tags to remove them from the stream.

Note

To better differentiate outputs from the list, each name includes a tag indicating the output type.
