We release experimental features to benefit our advanced user community

  • These features may be less reliable and are subject to change

  • We don't provide direct support for these features and don't recommend them for new users




Summary


Why might I want to use SRT?

  1. SRT is another method to send your stream to sidelineHD.  You will get the same UP/DOWN messages, the same publishing to FB/YT, and the same clips.
  2. The SRT protocol allows you to use HEVC (H.265) video compression, which sends the same quality video in 1/2 the bandwidth. 
  3. More reliable data transmission in certain situations.


Why might I NOT want to use SRT?

  • This is an "early feature" in the Mevo app.  It's (currently) harder to use than Mevo's RTMP features. There is no connection status information, no support for one-click configuration.
  • This is not supported by the Mevo Multicam app.


What should I know?

  • SRT works as any other sidelineHD advanced camera source.
  • You will get UP / DOWN text messages as before.



What do I need?

  1. Mevo Start camera
  2. Mevo single-cam app
  3. You have successfully added your Mevo camera and streamed to sidelineHD via RTMP.



How do I configure my Mevo app?


1/ Log in to sidelineHD and navigate to your sidelineHD camera settings (Settings -> Stream Settings -> Camera Settings).


2/ If you don't already have an advanced camera, create one. 


3/ Get your sidelineHD Stream URL and Stream Key by clicking the three dots next to your camera setup and then press Advanced Settings. There is your Stream URL and Stream Key.


Your Stream ID is:

shd03/{Stream Key}


For example, let's say your stream key is: s03-wwww-xxxx-yyyy-zzzz


Your Stream ID would then be:

shd03/s03-wwww-xxxx-yyyy-zzzz


NOTE: URL parameters are subject to change



3/ Enter your Mevo single cam-app.  All SRT functions are available by clicking on SETTINGS (the gear icon).  Click on SRT Settings.



4/ Make the following settings

[Q2: For mobile applications, the bw should go down to 1Mbit for 720p]





Starting and stopping the stream


To toggle streaming ON/OFF, go to SETTINGS (gear icon).



"SRT" shows when streaming is activated.  The indicator light on your Mevo transitions from GREEN to RED when there is a working connection.

CAUTION: this screen does not (yet) show stream status.  There is no feedback on connection status or quality.  We recommend monitoring your sidelineHD connection status messages.
