A: It's simple and easy to connect your encoder or device camera to us. If you are a vMix customer, you simply log in to your ScaleEngine account from vMix, and you get your stream set up for you. If you use FMLE, OBS, Wirecast, Teradeks, or ffmpeg, use the connection urls we provide on your stream page. Once you're connected, you will see a green button, or red button if you are recording, and if we are transcoding for you, you will see the frame size of your stream.
A: Use our streamfetch system to bring external cameras, or any RTMP or HLS source into your account. We can also capture your camera from your device or computer.
A: Every stream has a link on its manage page where we generate a player embed code or short url that you can use. Exact usage will vary depending on where you're publishing, bug you can generally paste the short embed code or full embed to the website page where you want to show the stream.
Any device able to play HLS will be able to play your stream, which is pretty much any. We support all major browsers and set-top boxes. Any app developer should be able to use your streams without issue, and our player system makes it easy to embed a video player on your website with most CMSes.
