Live Streams in 24/7 Scheduler

This specific feature is called “LIVE” in your Cloud Scheduler and allows you to schedule and ingest a live-stream into your 24/7 stream from your live-encoder, interrupting your 24/7 stream. The LIVE ingestion feature switches to your ingested live-stream from your encoder at a specific day and time and then back to your scheduled linear stream. You can select from pre-defined event durations (from 15 mins to 180 mins) which you can drag and drop to your scheduler to set up a date and time for your live broadcast (e.g. live events, live news broadcasts, live seminars, live concerts, live webinars, etc.). Alternatively you can define a custom time-frame to match your event’s duration exactly.

Please keep in mind that, if you don’t send a stream form your encoder during the time of a scheduled live-event, your 24/7 stream will be interrupted, with nothing showing on your players, as there is nothing else scheduled during that time.
You can make changes to your 24/7 Schedule for the following day or future days. Same-day changes are not possible as the Playout System has to lock in the schedule at midnight.

In order for your live streams to be broadcasted through your 24/7 Channel, please make sure to copy and paste the unique Server URL and Stream Key from the 24/7 Channel into your live encoder before the live stream starts. 

 You can find the Server URL and Stream Key when clicking on the tab “STREAM” in your 24/7 Channel Manager page.
