Create a simple channel
Channels arrange the output from sources into a viewable and recordable stream. Although there are may
ways you customize a channel, this procedure walks you through the most basic channel setup with a
single source. For multiple-source channels and advanced layout editing see
. (You
can always update this channel later to use multiple sources or multiple layouts.)
After creating this channel you'll be ready to stream it using the system default settings. Instructions to
configure encoding, branding, and CDN Streaming are described in separate procedures.
To create a simple channel:
1. Connect to the admin interface using your preferred connection mechanism. See
.
2. Login as admin.
3. Ensure a DVI, HDMI, VGA or SDI input source is connected to the device and you know the name of the
source it is connected to. If you're not sure, see
4. From the web interface, scroll to the Channels menu option. A list of existing channels, if any is
displayed.
5. Click Add channel located at the bottom of the list; the Sources page opens.

layout editor with a black background is shown.)
