Step 8 In the left-panel menu, choose Live Streaming. The Live Stream Settings page is displayed.
The Live Stream Setting page differs depending on whether you are configuring a Movie Streamer live
stream or a Windows Media live stream.
Step 9 Enter the settings as appropriate. See Table 5-10 for a description of the Windows Media Live Stream
Settings fields, and Table 5-11 for a description of the Movie Streamer Live Stream Settings fields.
Table 5-10 Windows Media Live Stream Settings Fields
Field Description
Live Source URL The URL of the origin Windows Media encoder or Windows Media
server using the following format:
• http://WMencoder_or_WMStreamerServer:port/path/file
• rtsp://WMencoder_or_WMStreamerServer:port/path/file
For encoder failover, you can specify more than one encoder. Separate
live source URLs in the list by using a semicolon (;).
Note If you use a .wsx file as the Live Source URL and specify the
encoders within the .wsx files, failover does not work for
unicast-in multicast-out. We recommend you use a managed
live-based encoder with redundancy, as it supports encoder
failure with all type of streams.

Unicast URL Reference If Enable Unicast Delivery to Client is checked, this field is
