This article describes how to use the AJA Helo Encoder for Livestreaming to the STREAMBOXY video platform.





Requirements

  1. You have an AJA Helo Encoder and use the latest firmware v4.0
  2. Your AJA Helo is connected to the internet via ethernet + router and online
  3. Your internet upstream speed is at least 12 Mbits for a smooth 1080p stream with 25 frames per second
  4. Your firewall allows outgoing TCP connections via ports 2935 and 2936 (RTMPS) and optionally allows TCP ports 1935 and 1936 as fallback (RTMP)
  5. You have created a livestream in STREAMBOXY and have the permission to manage the upstream
