Real Encoder Settings (Helix)
Real (Helix) is both a storage format and a streaming format. In addition to the ability to output to a file, the Real Encoder can stream to a Helix Server. The settings for the Real Encoder include the ability to adjust parameters for connecting and streaming to the server.
Broadcast Method: There are several different broadcast types for streaming Real format video to a Helix Server. They are as follows:
•Push, Account-Based Login (Helix Server): Account-based, push broadcasting allows you to send a stream to Helix Server version 9 or later. In this method, the encoder maintains a monitoring connection to Helix Server. This connection allows it to pass a user name and password to authenticate access to the server. Helix Server uses this connection to send statistics about the broadcast stream back to the encoder.
•Push, Password-Only Login (Helix Server): Unlike account-based broadcasting, password-only broadcasting does not establish a monitoring connection. Therefore, this type of broadcasting requires less network overhead, but receives no feedback from Helix Server. This broadcast method allows you to send a live stream to Helix Server version 9 or later. However, you must set up the server as a receiver in a splitting arrangement. Please refer to Helix Server documentation for details.
