Select a channel and URLs for Kaltura webcasting
events
Ensure that you have selected the channel on Pearl Mini that you want to use for your scheduled
webcasting event well in advanced of the event start time. The first channel on Pearl Mini is selected
by default.
When it's time for the scheduled webcasting event to start, Pearl Mini automatically sends an RTMP (or RTMPS)
stream to the primary URL associated with that event. If you've enabled the backup stream, Pearl Mini sends an
RTMP stream to both the primary URL and the secondary backup URL associated with that event. If the primary
URL stream fails for any reason, Kaltura automatically switches over to the backup URL.
The channel you're streaming should have at least one layout, see
Create a channel
. For the correct encoding
settings to use for the channel, see Kaltura's
requirements
.
During the webcast, you can switch layouts using Pearl Mini for a more dynamic live broadcast. For information
about creating layouts for a channel and switching, see:
Custom layout configuration
.
Important considerations
l
Ensure that the same audio sources are selected on each layout if the channel is configured with multiple
layouts for live switching.
