At right, you will see the Server control group (Figure 203), where you will enter the specific
parameters required by your streaming service (or CDN – Content Delivery Network). Let’s
consider the information you need to complete this successfully.
The Username and Password are supplied to you by the streaming service, and are specific to
your account.
Location (also referred to as the Server Address) is the address TriCaster™ will send the stream
to. Again, this is supplied by the service provider. The Stream ID may or may not be provided,
depending on the requirements of your service provider. (In some cases you can simply enter a
custom ID number.)
Many service providers will supply you with a streaming profile in the form of an XML file for use
with Flash Media Encoder. If this is the case, you can click the button labeled Import Settings
From File, navigate to and select the XML file, and TriCaster™ will automatically import the
Location and Stream ID values for the Connection.
Note: By design, the Import feature does
not automatically change the Resolution
profile you have selected at left. You
should ensure that this setting is
compatible with your service.
BROWSE (IMPORT A CUSTOM
PROFILE)
A related function involves the ability to
directly import a custom Resolution profile.
You might create such a profile for a
specific purpose, using either the Adobe
Flash Media Encoder™ or Windows Media Encoder™ application installed on your TriCaster).
The Browse item at the top of the Resolution menu (Figure 204) allows you to select an
appropriate file in a system file explorer, which is then copied to the correct location for it to be
listed in the menu for your use in future.
