Pearl Mini User Guide Streaming to servers, CDNs, and other devices
Streaming to servers, CDNs, and other
devices
Pearl Mini can stream to CDNs, local media servers, and even to other Pearl Mini devices that are acting as a
streaming ingestion point. Pearl Mini supports many streaming protocols. Use the Admin panel to set up
individual channels for streaming.
Topics include:
l Set up an RTMP or RTMPS (push) stream
l Set up an SRT stream using caller and listener modes
l Set up an SRT stream using rendezvous mode
l Adjust latency and view the SRT stream status
l Set AES encryption and a passphrase for SRT
l Set up an HLS (push) stream
l Set up an RTSP announce stream
l Start and stop streaming to a CDN
For details to configure multicast streaming, see Multicast streaming . For more information on video encoding
configuration, see Configure encoding .
Set up an RTMP or RTMPS (push) stream
Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) is this the most common way to stream to a CDN, including to Facebook
Live and YouTube.
Use Real Time Messaging Protocol Secure (RTMPS) on your Pearl devices to encrypt content before it's
streamed over a TLS/SSL connection for secure live streaming. When enabled, Pearl Mini will always attempt to
validate the digital certificate it receives from the CDN to establish a secure RTMPS connection. The connection
will fail if Pearl Mini can't find the CA certificate of your CDN in it's list of certificates.
Pearl Mini has the CA certificates for many of the major CDNs already installed. For RTMPS streaming to work
for your particular CDN, or if you're using a proprietary RTMPS server, ensure that your streaming server's CA
certificate is uploaded to Pearl Mini, see
Manage CA and self-signed certificates .
Set up an RTMP or RTMPS stream using the Admin panel
1. Login to the Admin panel as admin, see Connect to the Admin panel .
2. From the Channel(s) menu, select the channel and click Streaming. The Streaming configuration page
opens.
3. Click New stream and choose RTMP push. The new stream is created using the default name Stream 1.
4. Click the stream name to see the stream settings.
