This guide covers broadcasting video streams directly from mobile cameras to the Infomaniak Video Streaming service.

Broadcast live…

… with encoder

The standard operation of video streaming involves using an encoder to transform the stream from a source such as a camera or webcam.

Example with a GoPro: to broadcast what it films live (e.g., setting up a live webcam), you can connect it via its HDMI cable to your capture card (e.g., an AVerMedia or Blackmagic Design card) which has an HDMI input.

Use software like OBS Studio and configure it to recognize the video source from the capture card and encode the video stream and transmit it to the streaming server (Infomaniak).

… without an encoder

With suitable cameras that natively output h.264, there is no longer a need for an encoder; you can connect your camera directly to the video streaming system. The camera directly encodes the video stream into a compatible format (H.264) and transmits it via RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) directly to the streaming server. However, this system only works with a limited list of cameras (see below). Some modules, such as video recording, are not compatible with this mode of operation.

To access the configuration:

1. Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
2. Click directly on the name assigned to the product in question.
3. Click on the button to configure the encoder:
   
4. Click on the IP CAM / EXTERNAL source
   

Review the prerequisites on the configuration page before proceeding with the setup. Also, please refer to this other guide.
