Live Streams

The HyperCaster is capable of rebroadcasting incoming streaming video. You can configure live stream
sources in the config tab.

Note: Pro and HD models that play 1920x1080i HD content do not support this feature.
Transcoding a live stream is very CPU-intensive at this bitrate.

Warning: Network streaming can send large amounts of data across your network. This can
cause network congestion if not coordinated with your IT department. Please confirm with
your IT department before enabling.

Live Stream Setup

The network stream for a channel will show video playouts only. External sources from a video switch
or device will not be streamed. JPEG images and overlays will not be streamed. To configure a
channel for network streaming, login as an admin and:

1. Click the Config tab.
2. In the Feeds section, click the link for Live Streams to display the Stream Source Setup page.
3. Click Add Stream Source.
4. Complete the add live stream source form.

•

Type is Unicast or Multicast

•

Enter a unique name.

•

Description is optional.

•

IP address for unicast is the source of the stream. If it is multicast the address must be in the
range of 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.

•

IP Port must be between 3000 and 65535.

•

Bit Rate

For HyperCaster the bit rate should match the rate of the incoming stream. The

stream will be playable on channels that have a bit rate that is at least as high as the stream.

5. Click Add to save.

The live stream is now able to be scheduled as an event. If your server has IP capture enabled you
may also record any live stream source. This can be done through the record tab or programming tab.

Publishing Your Schedule to Other Media

The HyperCaster includes an integrated, searchable, web-based Program Guide to which you can link
from your site without having to re-enter program information. You can link the Program Guide to
your website or export it to a spreadsheet or text file.
