1 00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:05,670 All right, guys, it's time to talk about live streaming with wire cast as part of our unofficial guide 2 00:00:05,670 --> 00:00:06,660 to wire cast. 3 00:00:06,690 --> 00:00:09,600 Why has it taken so long to start talking about live streaming? 4 00:00:09,630 --> 00:00:11,550 Well, once you guys to be prepared. 5 00:00:11,550 --> 00:00:16,050 In fact, in this video, not only we're going to talk about live streaming of our cast, but how to 6 00:00:16,050 --> 00:00:21,810 do a rehearsal live stream and Facebook so you can really be prepared when you actually have a live 7 00:00:21,810 --> 00:00:23,610 audience and you're starting to live stream. 8 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:32,940 Now, first of all, the live streaming output options are available in wire cast inside of output settings. 9 00:00:33,150 --> 00:00:38,900 There's a whole output menu and this is where we're going to spend most of the time in output settings. 10 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:45,570 You can actually live stream to multiple destinations at the same time, using wire wire cast lets you 11 00:00:45,570 --> 00:00:46,800 stream as many as you want. 12 00:00:47,100 --> 00:00:51,240 And, you know, you're streaming when you see this little stream notification button light up and it 13 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,690 will actually tell you how long you've been streaming for. 14 00:00:54,150 --> 00:00:56,640 So this is where we're going to spend most of our time. 15 00:00:57,090 --> 00:01:04,770 Generally, there's two main ways to connect to a content delivery network where one is simply by logging 16 00:01:04,770 --> 00:01:06,420 in using the API. 17 00:01:06,420 --> 00:01:10,800 And I'm not going to do that because I'm not going to show you guys all my login password information. 18 00:01:11,550 --> 00:01:16,110 But it is the simplest way to log into Facebook or YouTube and just start streaming. 19 00:01:16,470 --> 00:01:21,870 And Vioxx does a great job to allow you to get enhanced up options. 20 00:01:22,110 --> 00:01:25,950 For example, if you log in to Facebook, you might have multiple pages. 21 00:01:25,950 --> 00:01:31,710 You have access to multiple groups that you have access to, and all of that will show up once you authenticate 22 00:01:31,860 --> 00:01:34,020 with your Facebook or YouTube account. 23 00:01:34,470 --> 00:01:36,120 So that is one way. 24 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:43,890 The second way is to just literally have a custom RCMP server name and secret key, which is what we 25 00:01:43,890 --> 00:01:46,130 will use for our rehearsal today. 26 00:01:46,140 --> 00:01:52,890 Just remember that when you live streaming with RCMP who are going outside of your local area network, 27 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,050 you can still record at the same time. 28 00:01:55,620 --> 00:01:58,700 And what you need to consider is bandwidth. 29 00:01:58,710 --> 00:02:00,990 Do you have enough bandwidth to live stream? 30 00:02:01,230 --> 00:02:09,150 And then also if you start to get some drop frames, if you start to see some pixelation and it's not 31 00:02:09,150 --> 00:02:12,450 a bandwidth issue, that means it's a computer processing issue. 32 00:02:12,660 --> 00:02:17,850 And we'll talk about how to mitigate any possible issues going forward. 33 00:02:17,860 --> 00:02:25,190 But for now, let's say you're going to live stream in for K for K at 30 frames a second. 34 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:31,350 Well, if you're going to use a high bit rate, that could use up to 30 megabits per second. 35 00:02:32,100 --> 00:02:37,770 If you're going to use like a medium or low bit rate, that could use twenty, ten to 20 megabits per 36 00:02:37,770 --> 00:02:38,140 second. 37 00:02:38,700 --> 00:02:40,770 Now, what is a high bit rate? 38 00:02:40,770 --> 00:02:42,690 We're going to look into that in a moment. 39 00:02:42,690 --> 00:02:49,290 But BITRATE is incredibly important because the resolution and frame rate doesn't really matter as much 40 00:02:49,290 --> 00:02:51,980 as the bit rate is necessary to support it. 41 00:02:52,260 --> 00:02:54,750 So essentially the way I like to talk about it is like this. 42 00:02:55,320 --> 00:03:01,260 The resolution is quite literally a box that is almost like a canvas, a blank canvas. 43 00:03:01,500 --> 00:03:04,800 And the bit rate is the amount of paint that you put on that canvas. 44 00:03:05,100 --> 00:03:11,010 So if you have a four K resolution space, but you don't have enough bitrate to really fill it with 45 00:03:11,010 --> 00:03:16,500 the details necessary to look high quality, then you're doing a disservice to yourself and the viewers. 46 00:03:16,500 --> 00:03:19,500 You might as well do a lower resolution. 47 00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:24,930 So you're not stretching the amount of bit rate that you have available to the upload speed and the 48 00:03:24,930 --> 00:03:26,520 processing power of your computer. 49 00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:29,120 And we're going to try to find that happy medium today. 50 00:03:29,910 --> 00:03:30,690 So don't worry. 51 00:03:30,690 --> 00:03:32,070 But here's some examples. 52 00:03:32,490 --> 00:03:34,680 Let's say you're going to do a seven P st. 53 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:35,910 It's still very normal. 54 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,860 It's high definition. 55 00:03:38,220 --> 00:03:39,900 Maybe you're going to do three of them. 56 00:03:39,900 --> 00:03:43,610 Maybe you're going to stream one to YouTube, one to Facebook and one to twitch. 57 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:50,070 Well, the first seven twenty P stream, if you're using three point five megabits per second, but 58 00:03:50,070 --> 00:03:54,270 just be three point five megabits per second of upload speed necessary. 59 00:03:54,570 --> 00:03:59,640 But when you add the second stream now you have seven megabits per second necessary. 60 00:03:59,850 --> 00:04:03,470 And when you add the third stream you have ten point five megabits per second. 61 00:04:03,930 --> 00:04:09,150 This is when you start thinking use stream that I oh, should I use a streaming service? 62 00:04:09,420 --> 00:04:14,790 Because not only does it take three times, the processing power for Weirich has to do all of this, 63 00:04:15,060 --> 00:04:16,690 it also takes three times the bandwidth. 64 00:04:16,890 --> 00:04:19,560 So that's sort of the tradeoff that I want you guys to understand. 65 00:04:19,950 --> 00:04:25,740 If you can handle it, if you've got fibre, you Google Fiber, you have great Internet access, great. 66 00:04:25,740 --> 00:04:27,570 You've got the upload speeds to support it. 67 00:04:28,050 --> 00:04:33,000 Do you have a computer that can handle wire CASPA three simultaneous encode? 68 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,480 If you're you might have the bandwidth in your computer. 69 00:04:35,490 --> 00:04:36,180 Can't handle it. 70 00:04:36,390 --> 00:04:42,180 You'll get dropped frames, it'll start you'll you'll see notifications, you'll actually see the wire 71 00:04:42,180 --> 00:04:50,610 taps streaming indicator start to change from red to orange and yellow, letting you know that it's 72 00:04:50,610 --> 00:04:52,110 having trouble of dropping frames. 73 00:04:52,110 --> 00:04:57,570 And I'll show you where you can actually take a peek at all the statistics if you're doing ten ADP at 74 00:04:57,630 --> 00:04:59,310 four point five megabits per second with. 75 00:04:59,420 --> 00:05:05,270 What I usually like to do, it's a high duffle, high definition, decent bit rate, again, if you 76 00:05:05,270 --> 00:05:13,340 add that second and third live stream or encode, then you're going to add additional bandwidth. 77 00:05:13,350 --> 00:05:19,130 So a tip would be to use about leave about 30 to 50 percent headroom if you find out what your upload 78 00:05:19,130 --> 00:05:19,740 speeds are. 79 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,060 Don't max it out because it will provide problems. 80 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:29,990 Those levels fluctuate and you want to probably only use about 50 to 60, 70 percent of what you have 81 00:05:29,990 --> 00:05:32,140 available now. 82 00:05:32,690 --> 00:05:37,760 It's worth noting that Rexhepi and Die Stream is not going to talk about everything on the slide. 83 00:05:37,910 --> 00:05:40,700 They're internal to your local area network. 84 00:05:40,970 --> 00:05:41,390 Right. 85 00:05:41,570 --> 00:05:47,900 So if you're streaming this is external, that's upload speeds, internal local area network that rates 86 00:05:47,900 --> 00:05:51,350 are different, that we covered in our ndeye system. 87 00:05:51,350 --> 00:05:57,380 But just so you can kind of fit your head around this, if you have a gigabit network switch and I already 88 00:05:57,380 --> 00:06:01,190 see there's just a little bit I want to fix this little piece here. 89 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:02,900 There we go. 90 00:06:03,890 --> 00:06:10,480 If you have Ndeye sources that, let's say 100 megabits per second, you've got four or five of them, 91 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:16,760 that's five hundred megabits on a gigabit network switch that has a thousand megabits. 92 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:17,270 That's fine. 93 00:06:17,270 --> 00:06:18,380 That's tons of data. 94 00:06:18,380 --> 00:06:19,580 It's very high quality. 95 00:06:19,580 --> 00:06:26,660 You can record in high quality, but when you stream, you're usually going to encode it down to a much 96 00:06:26,660 --> 00:06:27,520 smaller bit rate. 97 00:06:27,540 --> 00:06:30,130 And that's what we're going to do in wire taps today. 98 00:06:30,140 --> 00:06:35,930 So let's start by adding our camera that we have here. 99 00:06:36,170 --> 00:06:38,750 We've been using this just as a test. 100 00:06:38,750 --> 00:06:40,400 Let's put this in our. 101 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:48,660 In our output here now that just blasted my headphones, I'm going to turn the headphones off, but 102 00:06:48,660 --> 00:06:54,960 I'll keep the audio coming through there because, you know, we want to see the audio and the video 103 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,580 coming up in Facebook now if we go to output settings here. 104 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:06,380 We've got a lot of different options, so why are cast now supports SRT and I want to take a moment 105 00:07:06,380 --> 00:07:07,280 to talk about that. 106 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:16,090 Our top is really the ideal streaming solution for Facebook and YouTube and most content delivery networks 107 00:07:16,090 --> 00:07:18,610 twitch, all of these ones listed here, LinkedIn. 108 00:07:18,970 --> 00:07:27,850 But Ezzati actually is the preferred net transport method of transport called secure, reliable transport. 109 00:07:27,970 --> 00:07:32,770 When you're streaming from wire to wire cast or when you're streaming over the public area network to 110 00:07:32,770 --> 00:07:38,020 another production studio and this is becoming a lot more popular, will probably have to do a whole 111 00:07:38,020 --> 00:07:39,430 video on SRT. 112 00:07:39,700 --> 00:07:48,100 But you can stream over the public area network in very high quality to another location anywhere in 113 00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:48,870 the world, really. 114 00:07:49,510 --> 00:07:52,860 So we'll do we'll show that upcoming video. 115 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:59,260 Now, if we go to Facebook live, which is what we're going to do today, and we click it this way, 116 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:04,360 we have the ability to authenticate directly in to Facebook. 117 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:05,470 You can just log right in. 118 00:08:06,430 --> 00:08:12,460 Now, I'm not going to do that right now, I'm actually going to show you how to Rackley stream with 119 00:08:12,460 --> 00:08:17,760 a a URL, which is actually going to teach us a little bit more. 120 00:08:17,980 --> 00:08:22,810 But if you do want to directly log in, it's a great way to do it. 121 00:08:22,810 --> 00:08:30,070 You authenticate in, then you have the ability to post pages, you have the ability to post to groups, 122 00:08:30,070 --> 00:08:36,580 and it opens up all kinds of great opportunities for going live, scheduling lives. 123 00:08:36,580 --> 00:08:42,290 You can do all these great advanced options and, you know, wire cash really handles it all for you. 124 00:08:42,900 --> 00:08:47,860 Now, I am actually going to choose just a regular AATB server. 125 00:08:48,890 --> 00:08:56,480 And the reason why I'm going to do that is because I am going to go into my Facebook and I'm actually 126 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:03,110 going to choose a button that maybe some of you are not aware of, but it's very awesome, I think, 127 00:09:03,710 --> 00:09:10,310 especially if while you're learning to live stream is we are going to publish a test broadcast. 128 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:17,430 So a test broadcast allows us to test everything without actually going live. 129 00:09:17,450 --> 00:09:20,360 So that is pretty popular, pretty awesome. 130 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,610 And our video will show up here as soon as we start streaming. 131 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,540 So I'm excited about that. 132 00:09:26,540 --> 00:09:29,920 That's going to help us do some pretty cool stuff. 133 00:09:30,410 --> 00:09:36,820 And now what we'll do is we'll roll down here and we'll get the stream key copy here. 134 00:09:37,130 --> 00:09:38,410 That is a stream key. 135 00:09:38,930 --> 00:09:42,080 We're going to pop that in to. 136 00:09:43,180 --> 00:09:49,810 Wire cast is our address there, and then we're going to go over here and we're going to copy our stream 137 00:09:49,810 --> 00:09:52,860 key and don't share that with anyone, by the way, guys. 138 00:09:52,870 --> 00:09:59,380 But I did choose a non reusable one, so it shouldn't shouldn't be a problem there. 139 00:09:59,770 --> 00:10:03,920 And we are going to now look at our code level. 140 00:10:04,060 --> 00:10:05,880 This is the bit rate that we talked about. 141 00:10:06,190 --> 00:10:10,060 So by default, we have 720 P at four megabits per second. 142 00:10:10,630 --> 00:10:11,740 That's pretty good stuff. 143 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,260 It's H that two six four. 144 00:10:14,260 --> 00:10:16,740 That is the encode protocol that's being used. 145 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,760 You can see here there's some newer ones that I actually recommend. 146 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:27,400 To be honest, if you have an end video graphics card, you would probably actually want to use the 147 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:33,970 Nvidia and V, E and C each six x4, but not going to assume that you have that. 148 00:10:33,970 --> 00:10:39,160 So we'll stick with this seven twenty four megabits per second. 149 00:10:39,190 --> 00:10:45,280 Now if you have an issue streaming at four megabits per second or you're trying to squeeze YouTube and 150 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,990 Facebook together, you might reduce the stream and then add another one. 151 00:10:50,020 --> 00:10:58,240 So for example, we can just stack these up, we can just keep adding more and more our top servers 152 00:10:58,510 --> 00:11:03,340 or authentications into different platforms. 153 00:11:03,340 --> 00:11:05,370 And that's really cool with wire casts. 154 00:11:05,380 --> 00:11:06,610 We can just keep adding them. 155 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:12,220 And as long as your computer can handle it, Weyrich's will let you just keep streaming. 156 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,170 I think that is a great feature. 157 00:11:15,070 --> 00:11:21,580 Now, the other thing I'm going to do and also recommend is that you can record to disk merge out of 158 00:11:21,580 --> 00:11:24,940 here a little bit so you can see that so you can stream and record. 159 00:11:24,940 --> 00:11:32,580 At the same time, they practically use almost the exact same amount of processing power. 160 00:11:32,590 --> 00:11:39,010 But when you record to disk, you do not need to worry about bandwidth. 161 00:11:39,310 --> 00:11:46,420 So when you're recording to disk, you can actually record in a higher rate, possibly like seven megabits 162 00:11:46,420 --> 00:11:47,020 per second. 163 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:55,900 And wiretaps will tell you, hey, you know, maybe we should match the preset match the size, which 164 00:11:55,900 --> 00:11:56,540 makes sense. 165 00:11:57,250 --> 00:12:00,870 That's actually 10, 60 megabits per second. 166 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,460 So we'll stick it out like twenty four. 167 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:13,090 But we're not as worried about, you know, live recording to disk with bandwidth so we can increase 168 00:12:13,090 --> 00:12:14,530 the bit rate if we so choose. 169 00:12:15,980 --> 00:12:23,300 This is where the streams are going to be recorded so we can change where they're going to go, but 170 00:12:23,300 --> 00:12:24,380 that's fine for now. 171 00:12:24,530 --> 00:12:29,990 And so basically what we've done here is we've set it up to record and stream as soon as we hit the 172 00:12:29,990 --> 00:12:30,290 stream. 173 00:12:30,290 --> 00:12:31,650 But someone said, OK. 174 00:12:34,710 --> 00:12:39,570 Out of here, and when we get that stream button, I'll zoom into it for you. 175 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:46,140 So when we hit this green button here, it is going to start streaming. 176 00:12:47,610 --> 00:12:51,150 And essentially, we are streaming now. 177 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:56,430 So that is good news and now we can cut over to. 178 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,650 Facebook live, and we can see videos coming at opinions. 179 00:13:02,700 --> 00:13:07,390 Now, keep in mind, this is a test broadcast, so I didn't really want to do too much with that. 180 00:13:07,630 --> 00:13:12,640 So I'm going to basically just hang out and. 181 00:13:13,620 --> 00:13:15,350 Cut the broadcast for now. 182 00:13:15,450 --> 00:13:20,880 I don't want to go live, but that is everything you need to know about wire cast, live streaming, 183 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:25,230 and hopefully that gives you a good idea of how to get started with live streaming with Marcus. 184 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,390 Let me know, by the way, if you have any comments in the video below, and I'm happy to answer them.
