What is streaming?

What is streaming?

After you connect your camera, audio source, and set up a channelwith a custom layout, it’s time to
stream your content live and share that with your viewers.

Pearl Nano provides many different streaming options and supports a variety of streaming protocols.
Probably the easiest way to stream a single Pearl Nano channel directly to viewers on the same local
network is to share the channel's live broadcast URL. Various stream types are available so users can
watch using their favorite devices, including: HTTP/HTTPS, HTTP FLASH (.FLV), MPEG-TS (HTTP), and RTSP.

At the same time, Pearl Nano can stream to a multicast server or CDN and reach viewers across the globe.
Pearl Nano can even stream to smart TVs in overflow rooms using SAP or UPnP. The streaming method
you choose depends on factors like the number of viewers of your stream, are you broadcasting live over
a local TCP-based network or streaming to a CDN over the Internet, how much bandwidth do you have
available, and is live streaming security a concern?

Pearl Nano can stream to a CDN or media server using any of the following streaming protocols:

l

SRT (push)

l

HLS (push)

l

MPEG-DASH (push)

l

RTMP/RTMPS (push)

l

RTSP

A channel can support multiple streams. That means you can stream a channel to multiple destinations
using different streaming protocols. Unicast and multicast streams are also supported.

Pearl Nano makes it easy to start and stop streaming using the Streaming key located on the front panel
or directly from the Admin panel . You can also control streaming using Epiphan Cloud from a mobile
device or tablet, see

Control recording and streaming using Epiphan Cloud

In addition to streaming from Pearl Nano, the following streaming formats are supported as input
sources that Pearl Nano can ingest:

l

SRT

l

RTSP announce

l

RTMP push

Pearl Nano also comes with APIs so you can setup third party tools to control streaming, see the

System API Guide

for details.
