Flash To Akamai
To stream to Akamai, follow these steps:
1. Select Akamai from the Destination menu.
2. Select an encoder.
3. Enter your Akamai Stream ID and Event Name.
4. Enter your Akamai Angle and Video Rate.
5. Enter your user name.
6. Click Authenticate to enter your password and generate the RTMP URL. You only
need to do this one time because Wirecast stores the channel information for
future streams. The default RTMP port is 1935. You may need to configure your
firewall to enable connections on this port.
Note: If you do not have a username and password, you can sign up with Akamai by
clicking the Akamai icon, or by clicking Sign Up.
7. Optionally, enter a Stream Delay value. This provides a time buffer between your
live stream from Wirecast and the actual broadcast itself. You can set the delay from
0 to 999 seconds. However, greater delays require greater memory use. The amount
of memory used is displayed when you enter the amount of delay.
