Getting Started

If you haven't already, begin by following the Getting Started tutorial to create a Dolby.io application and start your first broadcast. You'll need your RTMP publish path and RTMP publish stream name for the steps described below.

See the official Videon site for documentation, installation instructions, and additional support.

How-to use Multi-Bitrate on Videon EdgeCaster

From your Dolby.io dashboard, you need the RTMP publishing paths. Additionally, enable the RTMP multi-bitrate toggle.

Inside the Videon Web UI, on Video Profiles, create three profiles of distinct bitrate (1080p, 720p, 360p):

Under Audio Profiles, set up your preferred encoding and audio bitrate settings.

Under Outputs, for each RTMP (1,2,3), select their corresponding Profiles on to the Video Source (highest -> 1080p; lowest -> 360p). Make sure to set "Streaming Providers" to Generic RTMP and paste the Stream URL from the Dolby.io RTMP Dashboard.

Use the RTMP publish path + "/" + High RTMP multi-bitrate on RTMP 1. Subsequently, the Medium URL for RTMP 2 and the Low URL for RTMP 3. Each of the links will contain a unique sourceId.

Example: _rtmp://rtmp-auto.millicast.com:1935/v2/pub/myStreamName?token=86ab90625ecb75c1269d1b5eec3ed80d4faafa6ec954e62e7525172c3159f16a&sourceId=1&simulcastId_

How-to apply a Multi-Viewer with Videon EdgeCaster

To enable the multi-view, add this to the end of your stream name:

• sourceID = {1,2,3...}
• For the main feed, label it as simulcastId, and for the other feeds, add simulcastId=StreamName.
• Add &videoOnly to all except the first sourceId if you would like one audio source for all streams.

For example:
