Configuring Streams
From the Streams page, you can create multiple output streams using the defined video encoders, audio encoders, and metadata (if applicable). Each output stream is configured independently. For details see:
Streams List View
To open the Outputs List View:
- Click Streaming on the sidebar, and select the Streams tab.
The Outputs List View opens, displaying the list of defined streams for the encoder.
The Streams List View displays the Status, Stream Name, Protocol, Destination (IP Address and Port), and Selected Content (Video/Audio Encoders and Metadata source) for each stream. - From here, you can perform the following tasks:
- To create a stream, click the Add Stream button.
- To view details or modify the settings for a stream, click the Settings icon in the Stream panel to expand the Stream Detail View. From here you can view or modify the:
- Source settings
- Streaming Parameters
- Destination
- Link Parameters
- SAP
- From the Stream Detail View, you can also view the video or audio encoder, or metadata source for a stream. You can view and modify these configurations under Source.
The Stream State is color coded, and the Stream Status is indicated by the Status icon.
The possible Stream Statuses are:
Status Color State Icon Description ACTIVE Green STREAMING The stream is active and running.
STOPPED Gray STOPPED The stream is stopped. LISTENING Blue LISTENING The stream is listening for a connection. ALERT

Red FAILED
An error has occurred, and caused the stream to fail.
