arbitrary stream names, while others use this field for authentication and thus require
specific names.
 Backup Server: If you have a backup RTMP server, configure it here; otherwise, this
field can be left empty. The encoder will only attempt to contact the backup RTMP
server if it cannot establish a connection with the primary server.
 Backup Network Interface: Select the network interface to be used when contacting the
backup server. The meaning of the choices is the same as the Primary Network
Interface described above.
 Backup App: Enter the application name in the backup server. If this field is left blank,
the value entered for Primary App is used.
 Backup Server URL: This informational field is automatically updated as you configure
the RTMP parameters. It displays the full RTMP URL for the backup server.
 Backup Stream: Enter the stream name for the backup server. If this field is left blank,
the value entered for Primary Stream is used.
 Redundancy Switch Time (sec): This field is only displayed if a Backup Server is
specified (i.e., it will not be present if Backup Server is left blank). It sets the timeout
for encoder to switch servers after the RTMP connection is established, if the server stops
accepting data (i.e., when the IP Output Rate goes to zero).
 Port Selection: If your RTMP server is using the default TCP ports for the protocol
variant, select Use Default. If your server is using a non-standard port, select Specific
Port. When Specific Port is selected, an additional field is displayed:
 Port: This field is only displayed if Port Selection is set to Specific Port. Configure a
non-standard TCP port here.
 Authentication: Some RTMP servers require username/password authentication for
access. If your server does not require authentication, select No, otherwise select Yes. If
you select Yes, additional fields are presented:
 Username: Enter the username to be used for authentication.
 Password: Enter the password to be used for authentication.
