Ultra Encode

The Magewell Ultra Encode supports broadcasting RTMP streams, which can be ingested by the Dolby.io Real-time Streaming service.

To begin, first power on your Ultra Encode, connect it to the internet (Ethernet or WiFi), and connect your video capture device. Once connected, log in to the Ultra Encode dashboard and navigate to the Streaming Server tab on the left side panel. Inside of Streaming Server click the + Add Server button and select RTMP.

• For the URL select rtmps:// and enter the URL of the channel.
  RTMP URL: rtmps://rtmp.<my-channel-region>.hesp.live/live
• For the Stream key input the Stream key from the ingest server section.
  Stream key: <my-stream-key>

Finally, select which network you'd like the encoder to use to connect, and save the settings.

Once saved, make sure the stream is activated by toggling the server switch on the Streaming Server page.

With the stream enabled, you can navigate back to the main Dashboard page of the encoder and see your stream connect.
