After logging in to your test account, you will see all your services listed on the website. To get a player, select VIDEO STREAMS service, click Details, and go to the Get Player Code tab.

Your broadcast preview will be played once a correct video signal transmission has been initiated. In case of any issues with this step, please check the information on the page How to Stream, in client panel. You can also contact us via email at broadcasting@nadaje.com, providing your username and the model of the device or software you are using.

Once the connection between the camera and our servers is successfully established, your video will be displayed under the tab Player for a website.

The video should be played correctly on the majority of Android or iOS mobile devices. You can access the preview in customer portal. We offer free, configurable Video.JS Player that allow reception on 99% of devices.
For professional customers we suggest using Bitmovin Player which covers 100% OTT devices for example: TV or mobile applications. Paid player price grows with number of views monthly.

You can copy the HTML code displayed in Customer Portal and easly paste into a website of your choice.
Alongside the player to paste for customer website you will get configurable broadcast vewing page for every Video-Streams service with permanent link which you can send to your viewers and promote your event. This solution offers many additional features like password protection, paywall and live-chat described under the topic Viewing your broadcast
You can use either software or hardware video encoder. The most economic solution is an open source software Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) You can find all the configuration data and a tutorial in your Customer Panel under the tab How to Broadcast.
Please remember to use AAC audio settings to get the reception in Video.JS player which comes free with our service.
You can also use free Flash Media Encoder but it does not stream AAC audio and requires audio transcoding on our servers which is additionaly charged.
Among paid software encoding solutions we recommend, Wirecast Vmix and Vidblaster are worth recommending.

If you opt for a software encoder, you will need a video capture card that will transfer the video from your camera to your computer. Blackmagicdesign Intensity Pro (PCie), Blackmagic design Decklink PRO, AverMedia LGP are fine and budget-friendly options.

Hardware media encoders do not require any capture cards. You can connect your camera or switcher directly to the encoder with an SDI or HDMI interface.

Our clients have been successfully using such devices as Teradek VidiU, Datavideo, Minicaster, Teradek Cube or more advanced: Tricaster and LiveU.

Our server which is Wowza Streaming Engine uses RTMP streaming protocol. Since it’s the encoder that initiates the connection to the server, no external IP address is needed. The encoder can work within any internal network.

1935 is a standard port used for RTMP streaming, but we provide each of our clients with an individual port. The port’s data are displayed in the client panel once a test account is set up.

A fast connection is one of the main requirements to be met when broadcasting. The uplink bandwidth should equal at least 1Mbps. You can check the bandwidth speed of your uplink connection at www.speedtest.pl

In practice good quality broadcast can be achieved with a bit rate of 800 kbps/1.4 Mbps using h.264 codec. However, if you want to secure a smooth transmission, your network bandwidth should have enough of reserve capacity. Therefore, we recommend an uplink of min. 2 Mbps.

In case of any video quality issues, you can use tools like MTR or WinMTR to check packets forwarding path to server (e.g. stream4.nadaje.com).

In client panel, you can find all the data needed for setting up a transmission, including the stream’s URL in the form of:
rtmp://Server_address:1935/live
Server address (e.g. stream4.nadaje.com, stream5.nadaje.com, stream6.nadaje.com)
Port number (e.g. 1935)
Mount point: /live (permanent for the video streams service)
Stream name (Stream Key in OBS): is stream-1 by default but the name can be changed in client panel

The above listed data is necessary when configuring software or hardware media encoders
Some encoders require providing full path with stream_name included in URL:
rtmp://Server_address:1935/live/stream_name
