Since an RTMP stream is sent from an encoder to Phenix via RTMP, the encoder must be set up to send its output to Phenix. This means that, while the Phenix Customer Portal can be used to obtain information such as the stream key, the Portal’s publishing tab cannot be used to publish RTMP to the Phenix platform. |
The examples shown below include optional “tags” for completeness.
