HELO Plus H.264 Streaming and Recording Encoder v1.0 60 www.aja.com
Chapter 5 – CDNs and Clients
Introduction
HELO Plus must be configured to operate with a Content Delivery Network (CDN)
when streaming via RTMP, using information provided for that specific network.
Similarly when using RTSP specific client information is required.
CAUTION:
Do not share your streaming credentials with anyone. That information
allows anyone to access and stream to your channel without your knowledge
or permission. CDNs will not ask for a stream key by email, so ignore any such
requests.
CAUTION:
HELO Plus presets can contain streaming credentials. If that preset is exported
and shared with someone, that person can extract the credentials. Be aware of
that possibility before you share presets with anyone. Before loaning the device to
someone, or returning it as a rental, a hard reset should be performed to clear the
device of sensitive information (see
"Reset Button (Hardware)" on page 10
).
