1.2. Sputnik Host Address: The destination IP address or hostname of your Sputnik server.

1.3. Sputnik Listening Port: The TCP port that Sputnik is accepting connections on. Default value is

5111, and this setting must match the port configured at the Sputnik Server.

1.4. Adaptive Internet Streaming Settings:

1.4.1. Max Buffer Length (default 4000 milliseconds)

– This value controls the maximum length of

Sputnik‟s buffer. Smaller values will result in lower end-to-end latency at the expense of

video stability.

1.4.2. AI Streaming

– Setting the AI Streaming to „Enabled‟ allows the stream bitrate to

dynamically adjust with varying network conditions.

1.4.3. Max Bitrate

– The maximum bitrate allowed when AI Bitrate is enabled. This value can be

matched to your destination‟s downstream bandwidth or set to limit the bitrate in less-than-

ideal coverage areas.

2.1. Use these settings to configure the video stream from Sputnik to your destination.

2.2.1. Enter your Livestream username, password, and channel short name.

Click „Verify Login‟
