Input stream
Input stream is the entry point to Streamrun from you broadcast softare or device.
Settings
- Input format
- Select video orientation (Horizontal or Vertical) or select Dual HD for combined horizontal and vertical streaming
- No signal image
- Set an image to show if the input is offline by selecting a file from the drop down list, or use File manager to upload a new image.
- Stream URLs
- Copy one of these URLs to your broadcasting software. The URL contains a streamkey. If your software asks for one, leave the field empty.
- RTMP supports AVC, HEVC, and AV1 video codecs and it's universally supported. This is a good option with stable connection
- SRT supports AVC and HEVC codecs. This is often a better option in mobile or unreliable networks with occasional packet loss, assuming your broadcasting software has SRT support
Mismatch warning
If an input element shows MISMATCH warning, the selected Input format is different than the video format you're streaming in. For example, you have selected vertical Input format, but you are streaming horizontal video in. You can continue streaming, but the outgoing video might be stretched.
