HLS Streaming
Use this page to specify HLS streams. Each
Index
will create one HLS master stream with
one or more sub-streams contained within. Adding multiple
Input Streams
will create an
MBR (Multi bitrate HLS) – which, when played, will tune to the correct stream based on
current network conditions of the player.

To access the HLS Streaming fields:
1. Navigate to
Output Configuration
>

Status Disabled | Waiting for Stream | Streaming
Field Description
Unique Playlist Name If the stream will be part of a group of alternate streams identified by
a master playlist, enter the master playlist name. A group may consist
of multiple streams with different bit rates and the iOS client will
switch between available streams to provide the best viewing
experience.
When using this page to create a group, you must put the highest bit
rate stream first (at the top of the list). This is the first stream the
client will try to play. You will typically have more than one HLS
stream referencing the same Master Playlist Name. If this stream is
not part of a master playlist, leave this field blank.
Note: Changing this value will disassociate automatic Akamai
distribution (if configured for this stream on Rev)
Announce Name (optional) The program name to be included in the SAP for this
stream. If not filled in, Stream Name is used. This is used with
VEMS, but not used in Rev.
