Streaming to an SNS or External System

You can distribute streaming video from a camcorder to an SNS (social networking service) or external system automatically. To do this requires creating a cloud receiver.

  1. Click the (Create) button in the [Receiver] area on the [Live] screen.
    The [Create Cloud Receiver] dialog appears.
  2. Place a check mark in [Stream Cast] in [Stream].

  3. Specify [Name], [Group], and [Preset].
    [Preset] determines the type of cloud receiver. The values that can be selected for [Preset] in [Output 1]/[Output 2] in [Stream Cast Setting] vary depending on this setting.
  4. Configure the settings for streaming to an SNS or external system.
    • [Watermark]: To display a watermark on the streamed video, select a preconfigured watermark. The watermark settings are configured on the [Watermark Preset] page of the [Settings] screen.
    • [Output 1]/[Output 2]: Place a check mark beside each output to use for streaming, and configure the output format, endpoint, and stream key.
    • [Preset]: Select a streaming preset.
    • [Endpoint]: Specify the SNS or external system endpoint.
    • [Stream key]: Specify the SNS or external system stream key.

    Note

    • The SNS or external system must first be set to streaming enabled state. When setting up streaming, set the endpoint and the stream key values that are acquired by the SNS or external system for the stream caster.
  5. Click the [Create] button.
    A cloud receiver is created in the [Receiver] area.
  6. To start streaming, drag & drop the streaming transmitter onto the cloud receiver.

    Note

    • The maximum time that a stream can be continuously cast to an SNS is 1 hour.
    • Check the status of each output after recording starts using the cloud receiver icon (). It flashes during setup and is lit solid after starting.
      You can also check the status using [Status] and [Statistics] in the [Cloud Receiver] dialog. To display the [Cloud Receiver] dialog, select a cloud receiver, click the (Menu) button, and select [View details] from the displayed menu.
    • For streaming from XDCAM pocket to a cloud receiver, set [Network Range] to a value other than [Auto]. When [Network Range] is set to [Auto], streaming can be started but an error will occur. When streaming from XDCAM pocket to a PWS-110RX1A, this error does not occur.

To stop streaming

Click [Stop] on the [Streaming] tab.
