Tutorial 3: Broadcasting

This tutorial demonstrates how to setup and broadcast your Wirecast presentations.

You can broadcast to a specific computer (Unicast), multiple viewers (Multicast), or

even record your broadcast to disk.

There are two main components for broadcasting your presentation (or saving it to

disk): Encoding and Destination.

You need to decide how you are going to encode the broadcast. Encoding is the type of

compression used (JPEG, MPEG4, etc.). Wirecast comes configured with many common

encoding options. (see The Encoder Presets Window)

A destination for the broadcast must be selected. You can send it to a server for

broadcast or save it to disk.

Streaming

You can stream your broadcast to any streaming service provider you choose. The

Broadcast section of this user guide provides details on how to do this for many

popular providers. This tutorial will show how to stream to Bambuser.

To stream to Bambuser (as an example), follow these steps:

1. Select Bambuser from the Destination menu.

2. Select an encoder.

3. Enter your Bambuser username.

4. After you have entered your username, 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 Bambuser

by clicking the Bambuser icon or by clicking Sign Up.

5. Select your Bambuser channel.

6. 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
