    7. Streaming service encoder currently supports streaming services include: SRT/NDI|HX/ RTSP/RTMP/HLS/TS-UDP. One code stream can run up to 8 stream services at the same time for the encoder, which means it can push the video stream to 8 different live platforms. There are two code streams (the main stream and sub stream) for the encoder, so the encoder can stream up to 16 different live platforms at the same time.

Enter the NEWTEK website (https://ndi.tv/sdk/) on the computer serving as the server to download and install the NDI SDK. After installation, run the file: Bin\Utilities\x64\NDI Discovery Service.exe The NDI encoder configures the receiver IP address in the discovery server, and it will be registered to the server.

    the NDI streams are registered to the server in the receiver. Note: After enabling the discover server, the mDNS auto-discovery function is invalid. The output streams from the encoder can only be sent to the designated server, and the receiving end must register to the same discovery server to pull the NDI streams.

    Note: The RTMP pushing must be pushed from the encoder to the platform. The computer/decoder then pulls the RTMP stream from the platform for playback. The encoder cannot directly push the RTMP stream to the computer/decoder for playback. While Kiloview decoders support RTMP server functions. 1）YouTube live streaming “Streaming point”...
