Learn how to add and configure stream sources using Connect

00:08

Once you've linked our Connect app to your room,

00:11

your next step is to add and configure your stream sources.

00:14

To do so, first click on the name of the room you'll be streaming into,

00:18

then click add stream.

00:21

Once you do, the app will display all current stream

00:24

sources available, as well as the type of stream source

00:27

in the upper right hand corner.

00:30

You can then filter your stream sources by type using the sources filter.

00:34

There are four stream source types that can be used in conjunction with Connect:

00:38

displays,

00:40

windows, NDI,

00:42

and DeckLink.

00:44

Display and windows source types allow you to stream

00:47

whatever is being displayed on your local workstation,

00:49

much like a screen share.

00:51

Note that when streaming these source types,

00:53

only video will be shared without any audio.

00:57

NDI allows you to stream a source from your local network,

01:00

whereas DeckLink allows you to stream the input of

01:03

a Black Magic and DeckLink capture device connected locally.

01:07

These two stream source types

01:09

can be considered direct feeds,

01:11

meaning both audio and video will be streamed into your room.

01:16

Once you've selected your stream source,

01:18

click add stream at the bottom.

01:22

Now that it appears in your list of sources,

01:24

clicking on it will bring up configuration settings

01:27

that can be adjusted to suit your needs.

01:30

You can change the streaming resolution or bitrate,

01:33

adjust the audio reference level, set

01:35

an audio offset to account for any latency, set your local audio

01:39

device for monitoring, or apply a color profile to your streaming asset.

01:45

If you've added the wrong stream source or you just want to remove it,

01:48

you can also delete this asset from this configuration.

01:53

Note that you can add as many stream sources as you like

01:56

and you'll be able to switch between all of them once inside the room,

01:59

much like switching between fixed assets.

02:04

Now that your stream source has been added and is configured,

02:07

your next step is to go live, which we'll cover in the next tutorial.
