Step 2
Make sure you on the "Live Stream setup" part of settings and select RTMP Publish as the Stream Server Selection.
Step 3
Go to your BoxCast Dashboard and click on Sources and get your RTMP codes from the dashboard. For this encoder, you will want to use the Server URL and Stream Key.
Step 4
Once you get your Server URL and Stream Key add them to the RTMP URL and RTMP Stream areas of the Datavideo dashboard. Also, select "Auto Stream at startup" and this will ensure that your encoder is always sending us data when its on. Click "Apply" when you are done.
Step 5
By selecting Auto Stream at startup, your encoder will always be sending to BoxCast. This is a good thing because it will automatically start the stream at the scheduled broadcast time. Here is what your stream timeline will look like below.
